Today almost seemed like a normal day with one exception. Every day I get ready for the day and I look in the bathroom closet and see a box containing letters Jan and I mailed to each other before we were married. This box is clear plastic and I can easily see Jan's handwriting on the letters. The box is buried underneath other boxes but this morning I dug it out and pulled out a couple of letters. Some were of high school time period and others were college. In reading them I found our love and care for each other never wavered. It just became deeper. It was nice to read them even though the letters were about 20 years old. I don't have a current letter other than a holiday card but her communication was the same. She was filled with encouragement, love, and support. I suppose you could say her love was steadfast.
My family and I finished the book "Out of my mind" and now Madilyn will pick the next. I started listening to a couple of different books and have found enjoyment in that. My phone decided to start to die so I will take a moment in the coming days to transfer all the audio clips off my phone and store them permanently. I think I'll get a normal flip phone or something. I find that my phone is just attached to me in such a way that I can't function without it. Something is off with that so I am just getting a small phone and will break away from the hold that small electronic device has on me.
101.) I am thankful for these sweet letters I found. They really do bring joy to my heart.
102.) I am thankful for time. It really is helping the sting to not be so intense.
103.) I am thankful for the safety of all that traveled at work today. Many witnessed accidents because of the ice.
104.) I am thankful that I did not fall down with the ice today. Some walkways were so filled with ice that I really did skate down the path.
105.) I am thankful for my kids desire for learning. I hope it is for a lifetime.
