Thankful Thursday

It feels like it has been a much longer week than it actually has. I think I've been over tired for some odd reason. Makes it more difficult to cultivate the thankful attitude. But here I am, because I expect this of myself and I want to have a thankful heart, even in the midst of being tired.

1. I'm thankful that I'm not nearly as tired as I was when I had Lyme disease. Wow, talk about tired, it was almost as bad as being depressed as far as the tired bit goes.

2. I'm thankful that I have a loving husband who is willing to indulge my crazy ideas, even when they mean more work for him.

3. I'm thankful that my daughter came up with a way to deflect her frustration during class time. She ended up having her animals join us and do some of her work for her. It's quite fun to have an entire class to work with.

4. I'm thankful for this thing Jesus is doing with me that's related to water and fishers of men. It's not fully expressible yet, but let me tell you, I was gutted this morning and I haven't felt this free in quite some time

5. I am so thankful that my nephew, Bryce, was born this past weekend and that he is home, safe and sound! He's a cutey! I can't wait to give him a ton of kisses and whisper blessings into his ears!

6. I'm thankful for the good work that God has been doing in me and those around me. I can't wait to see what will happen next.

What are you thankful for?

Stories from the Kitchen: Taste and See

I celebrated my birthday last weekend. It was wonderful and the leftovers left me with a question or two. Find out what they are and how I'm currently answering them in this week's podcast.

Tasty Tuesday: Roasted Broccoli

I ran across this recipe on Pinterest the other day that was labeled " The Best Broccoli Of Your Life. " I normally either steam our broccoli in the microwave or saute it with olive oil and red pepper flakes on the stove top. I decided this would be something to try. I did the salt, pepper and olive oil part of the recipe. I didn't have the majority of the other ingredients. In fact, all I had was a little bit of Parmesan It was wonderful. Not the best broccoli of my life, but honestly, it was pretty close. And if I had the lemon juice and all that jazz, it may very well be the best. What have you been eating lately?

Sweet Caroline by Kelda Poynot

First off, my copy of Sweet Caroline (aff link) is not a gifted review book, I spent my well earned Amazon No-Rush Rewards money on this book. Second of all, this is not my standard close door kind of romance. Third of all, this is a really fun read. Caroline is a hard working young lady that is doing all that she can to make ends meet and to get her graduate degree. Part of that work is renting out the room above her garage. When she answers the phone of an unknown number, believing it's a future tenant, she has no idea how much her life is about to change. The young man on the other end of that call, Hashim, is tall, dark, and mysterious in all the right ways. The story quickly moves from the girl next door falling for a stranger to a fight for their lives. And in true real life fashion, those fights aren't just with external enemies but the ones we carry within. It's an entertaining story of Caroline and Hashim, discovering their love for each other and fighting to
