~Grateful~ Even in the midst of a mundane Monday, full of laundry, dishes, and school work, I  am very aware of God's goodness that surrounds me.  Gratefulness is a choice. This I know.  We had a wonderful weekend in the mountains, celebrating my Dad's retirement.  He is a blessing in more ways than I can count and he is reason enough to celebrate.   This quaint little inn is where we had dinner....... It's windy enough to make me feel like I'm back in Kansas. I suppose that's due in part to the hurricane that's fast approaching the east coast. Makes me want to go grocery shopping and stock up!.....even if the storm is nowhere near me. weird, I know.  It's colder than it should be in October in the south but I'm not complaining. I love the first chance to break out the Uggs and sweaters. Brad popped home for lunch which is a rare occurrence. It was fun.....told him he should do it more often.  I'm hoping to make a trip to the grocery store tonight ALL ALONE. Don't care how late but I'm out of everything and want to go all. alone. Might get a Starbucks and put my earphones in while I'm at it.  Emma is still not asleep for her nap, so I checked on her, hugged her, and told her she needed to go night night.  Her response, "But why?" So it begins. "But why".....there's a question that never ends. ~stacey
