Feelin' Good on Friday


Gratitudes for the day



  • having a great day taking my mom grocery shopping and on errands yesterday
  • running into my elementary school gym teacher/high school football coach at the restaurant we were having lunch at and he (a) remembered me and (b) told me I still looked great (in my head I was yelling "HA - you should have seen me seven months ago)
  • walking the dog 3 miles this morning and smelling for the first time that "crispy leaf" smell - fall is coming - yay!
  • putting over 400 miles on my car in four days and gas is not over $3 a gallon anymore :-)
  • my neighbor is home from India safely
  • coffee, both hot and iced
  • friends - at the bus stop, at the school, in life and online - proving that there are good people all over the world
  • crockpot oatmeal, which made my kids go "yay" this morning and simplified the entire process a great deal.
  • DVR, which will make ironing the clothes that have piled up a ton easier today!
  • I have only the sleeves left to knit and my first sweater can be stitched tog
  • The fact that my real friends won't care that I have all these blessed dots on this blog that I don't know how or why appeared!!!!

I love crockpot oatmeal! It's probably time for me to think of my gratitudes since I'm feeling a bit stressed out :-)

Hey, dots make me happy. LOL Can you share your oatmeal crockpot recipe? Does it make a ton?
