Well, I’m feeling a little better but oh my goodness I’m low on energy. Who knew typing (and thinking) took so much strength. Sorry in advance for typoos and mistakz.
I’m thankful for our time in Kansas, where I was able to rest and rest and sleep and rest. A couple of times I even felt like getting up to play some games. Saturday I was so very thankful to feel well enough to have an awesome visit with Marie and her family. It’s so incredible to meet cyber friends in person!
When we arrived home Saturday night, my fever came back and I haven’t been out of bed much since. I’m so thankful that Matt and the boys are taking such good care of me. I’m thankful that my fever is now gone and I’m beginning to crawl out of my place of sickness. I’m thankful for DVDs and PBS (which the boys are getting an overload of right now). I’m thankful for soup. I’m thankful for pillows and quilts. I’m thankful for Karen Kingsbury books. (And if I wasn’t sick, I suppose I would be thankful for the opportunity to actually lay around and read.) ;)
I’m thankful to finally be feeling a little better so that I can do a few things. I’m thankful that I am not going to overdo it. (Yes, that was a hint to myself and also a reassurance to all of you that I’m not going to overdo it and get sicker.) (In the next few days while you read any upcoming posts that involve cookie baking or any other activitiy that requires remaining upright for longer than five minutes…just know I’m not overdoing it…I already started working on those posts and taking pictures last week.) (Which is probably when I overdid it but we won’t go there.)
I’m also thankful that my boys are going to clean up the mess they made in the living room while I spent so much time in bed. (Yes, that was a hint to my boys to come in here and clean up the boxes and markers that are ALL over the place. And why is my gallon bucket of coconut oil on the steps?) :)

Please share what you’re grateful for this Gratituesday! It continues to be so encouraging to read about how God is working in your lives.

**UPDATE** Looks like Mr. Linky may be under the weather too. I heard something was going around, I just never knew it would reach him too. SO…leave your Gratituesday link in the comments if he’s not cooperating. Thanks!

I’m so sorry you were unable to join us at 5:00 Friday morning. Maybe next time! Glad you’re feeling better!
I’m glad you’re feeling better too. Those hints are a great idea too…I hope your boys are astute enough to pick up on the subtleties. :)
So glad you’re feeling better! I’m so thankful that I’m rarely ever sick…now where is that wood to knock on?
Glad you are feeling better!
I didn’t notice any typo errors… But on part of this, I almost thought you were going random ;-)
-Just teasin’! Hope your boys stay well!
Laura, I’m grateful for you and your love for God, family, and others. If I lived close to you, I’d show up today with oils and lotions and give you a great foot rub to help you in your healing process and show how much I honor you. My friend Janet did that for me and I tell about her on my post today. She models how to love the sick, hurting, downtrodden, poor, needy…like Jesus did.
AHHHH, I hope you are feeling better soon… I know being a sick mommy is NO FUN! Nothing stops just because mama is sick… UGH! AND Oh, How I want that mill on the left side of your page right now….LOL!
OH, by the way, something is wrong with the site, not just mr. linky, because it keeps asking me to LOG IN everytime I go to a different page… HMMM???!!
So glad you are feeling better. It is never good for anyone to get sick but a Mom…that is a different story.
Laura-
Glad you are feeling a bit better. I bet you are happy that you put up your tree last weekend so you don’t have that hanging over your head!
Mr. Linky is acting weird for me, so here is my link…

Glad you’re starting to feel better. I always wish I had time rest and read, but funny how that only happens when you’re sick! :) Love the new Gratituesday banner.
Get well soon!

Hope you get to feeling better!
It’s amazing how often we take our health for granted. May God continue to give you the rest you need to fully recover and pursue life with abundant energy… just in time for Christmas!
