Blue Bonnets

"Above all else, guard your heart,
    for it is the wellspring of life." Proverbs 4:23 NIV

So much bad news in the world. It's hard not to feel swamped by it. Also hard to remember that there really are things to be thankful for. I've found that when it's hardest, then is when it is especially important to try.

So here goes:

1. I'm thankful that my brother could come down for Easter dinner yesterday. We had a nice visit together here and went and saw our Mom too.

2. That I was able to do a bit more work on checking our taxes today.

3. Tonight John and I worked on correcting the errors I found in our taxes--without getting mad at each other! 

4. We had our annual hike to see the blue bonnets in the Cedar Ridge Preserve Saturday. It was a perfect day for it. They seemed even more beautiful than usual.

5. John ordered my new cell phone. It should arrive soon.
