It’s the first Friday of March! Even though it is not officially spring yet, I couldn’t wait to use the spring FFF graphic. I’m joining Susanne at Living to Tell the Story to cultivate gratefulness by recounting God’s blessings of the week.
1. Running into an old friend at the store. I had dashed in to look for some Easter things while waiting for a prescription to be filled. We had a good chat for about 15-20 minutes and caught up with each other’s families and people we both knew. That brightened my whole week.
2. Dinner at Jason and Mittu’s house. Though we’ve gotten together at our house or other places, and they’ve made dinner for us several times, we had not been to their house since before Christmas for various reasons. Their central air was out for a while, I sprained something in my back earlier this year that made me unable to navigate the slope in their yard or their stairs, etc. So it was fun to visit over there.
3. Buds and blossoms. I’ve seen daffodils and pansies blooming this week and one tree (not sure what kind) starting to bud. I love seeing signs of spring!
4. Healing. I have cellulitis in one leg again. 😦 It’s odd I have gotten it this time of year each of the last three years. Though it was an ordeal each time before, this time it seems to be healing well so far. Antibiotics usually negatively affect my digestive system since I have issues with that anyway. But probiotics and IB Guard have helped tone that down a bit.
5. A husband that buys the groceries. Though he does multitudes of other things that I appreciate, this is one of the things I am most grateful for. I tried to avoid asking him when he was working 50+ hours a week. But he has assured me that he doesn’t mind. And since he has retired, I don’t feel as guilty. 🙂 Plus, sometimes he brings a surprise home–something to grill for dinner or something he saw that was marked down.
I hope your March is starting out well!
Stray Thoughts 
How nice that your husband does grocery shopping. I’m tempted to start ordering mine, but it requires being more organized!
Seeing old friends, spring flowers, and going to someone else’s for dinner are all blessings and things I enjoy. I’m glad you’ve found a remedy for your leg. It’s always something, isn’t it?
I have always really enjoyed grocery shopping-maybe your husband does too? I hope so. I am sorry about the cellulitis! I know from my friend who is prone to it that it does tend to come back 😦 The good news is that she gets better at spotting it early now so hopefully it doesn’t get as bad. Prayers for healing!
I love seeing the blooms here and there. The Bradford Pears are blooming all around where I live. So pretty!
That’s so nice that Jim does the groceries! I don’t mind the shopping. It’s the lugging them into the home that gets me.
So sorry to hear about the cellulitis coming back. I’m glad it’s responding to the antibiotics.
Have a great weekend!
Hurray for husbands who go to the grocery store! Mine does too, but I always send him with a list or it costs too much!
I hope your leg heals well. The last time I was on antibiotics, my stomach really bothered me. I had skin cancer and the antibiotic was good for treating possible skin infections. My husband helps with shopping too. I hope you have a great weekend!
