Threads of Gratitude: Nylon Umbrella Edition

Most of you don’t know this, but I have a deep fascination with Texas thunderstorms.  Seriously.  Like to the point where I have dreams of being a storm chaser.  Of getting up close and personal with nature’s fury.  Of facing a tornado head-on and living to tell the tale.  Of one day in heaven getting… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Nylon Umbrella Edition

Threads of Gratitude: Warm Woolen Mittens Edition

Yesterday we had a “snow day.”  I use that term loosely, because technically we did not have any snow.  We had ice, and really just a glazing of it.  Before all you northerners hurt yourselves laughing at us, let me remind you that nothing is more dangerous than being on an icy road with some… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Warm Woolen Mittens Edition

Threads of Gratitude: Layers of Gratefulness

This crazy Texas weather, I tell ya! Saturday found us in t-shirts, shorts, and flip-flops.  Monday brought ice and freezing rain, warm winter coats and hats, mittens and gloves and warm woolen socks.  Yesterday saw a return to the 60’s with a cool breeze, just right for jeans and long sleeves with no jacket.  This… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Layers of Gratefulness

I’m tired.  In the past week, I’ve averaged 3-4 hours of… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Spinning Wheel & Unraveling Yarn Edition

Threads of Gratitude – Week 3

This week has certainly been an emotional roller coaster.  There is so much going on in our lives and in the world around us, with so much upheaval, that it could be difficult to find things to be grateful for.  But I think it’s in times like this when we really need to focus on… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude – Week 3

Threads of Gratitude – Week 2

It’s Thursday again, and you know what that means. Well, yes, it does mean that tomorrow’s Friday, and that there’s only one day of work week left, but that’s not what I was going for.  And yes, it does mean Thursday night football, but that’s not quite the answer I was expecting either.  Sure, for… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude – Week 2
