A great day!

Can I just say how blessed I am in my life right now?  I don't think I could have said that so easily about 6 months ago!  I am becoming more and more content with being in Rhode Island.  I never thought I would say that I am actually enjoying being here. Now don't get me wrong, I would still love to be in Minnesota, and I hope to get back there some day.  But I am enjoying living in the here and now, and not thinking about the when.  For me that is a great accomplishment.  I know it is only through God and the changes that have happened in my life.  I may sound redundant, but I just can't stop being thankful for all He is doing.  Today was just another example of that once again.  I was able to go and spend time at story time this morning, and then hang out at the park.  Then I was able to visit with a long time family friend, and just see how good God is in action.  Not only that but I was able to eat and stay close to the caloric intake that my doctor wants me on.  I impressed myself tonight by only eating one bread stick with my dinner and resisting the urge to eat another one.  For dessert when I was craving something sweet, I bypassed the leftover Easter candy and went for an apple instead! So thankfulness is once again on my mind tonight as I settle in for bed.  I love this blogging thing and how it really makes me focus on being thankful in my life!
