Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.

Happy Friday Cali Friends, what are you thankful for today?

Today I am thankful for...

1.  The girl who was kidnapped 18 years ago who is now safe in Concord.  God please bless her and her children and parents with peace and happiness.

2.  My family and friends who make me laugh and keep me going.

3.  For another week that was a success. 

OK your turn, what are you thankful for today?

Morning Barb...great quote..and YOU match it to a tee!  ^_^

Today I am Thankful for:

It is Friday...and in less than 8 hours I am heading to the foothills for fun and laughter with great friends

Jaycee Dugard's safe return to her family...we need to all pray for her as she and her daughters try to form a 'normal ' life

my entire life being 'boreing' compared to the drama and crisis that others have had to endure...I have been sooo blessed!

Have a great weekend everyone! Have fun and make someone smile...the greatest GIFT we have to give each other ^_^

Barb, where do you get all of these great quotes from!

I have to agree that I am thankful for my boreing life as well.  Sometimes I get so upset over silly things.  Like my insurance company and doctor's office. I was reading in people magazine about people who are rebuilding in New Orleans yesterday, and hearing about the kidnapped girl.

Which leads me to the next thing I am thankful for the Good Lord has given me so many blessings.  He really has looked after me very well. He has been so good to me.

He has given me a wonderfull family.  My husband, my sons, my daugher-in-law, my grandkids, my friends, and of course my dogs!  I am truly blessed!

That is a WONDERFUL quote!!  I try and smile to everyone I see, most of the time, especially if I am in a bad mood.  Somehow that makes everything seem a little better and in a brighter better perspective.

I am thankful I got so much insight from my doctors appointment yesterday.  The surgeon and the nutrtionist gave me priceless information.

I am thankful my hubby went with me to the appointment and somehow his attitude has changed a little bit

I am thankful for my sons, without them I would not be the strong woman I am now.

Much love and blessings!!

Barb you are truely amazing!  I love that quote and I loved Mother Teresa.  It was sad when she passed as women like that don't come around very often, those who truely give their hearts and their lives God without any questions.

Today I am thankful for.

1.   That I had a fantastic day yesterday at work.  It was such a blessing to be able to do what I love.

2.  My husband who stays strong when I can't be.

3.  A week of such adventure and love.

Thanks again Barb,  This is my favorite post and I so enjoy it.  I wish I could get on here every morning.  Today I am being lazy and playing this morning!  lol  It is 5:18 and dark here. lol.

You have a super day if you get to read this as I am a day late here and a dollar short.
