My blogging friend, Judy, has an inspiring blog, A Thankful Woman's Book of Blessings. Please join her every Wednesday in giving thanks for the many blessings we receive from God. When we remember our blessings, we find that we have a new attitude of gratitude! Write a list of 5 blessings and then link to Judy's blog. Also be sure to check out her new meme and her newly published book!
My blessings this week:

My blessings this week:
1. Daily Mass. I know that I mentioned this last week but I am so grateful that our Catholic Church has daily Mass. Going back to daily Mass has really helped my prayer life and outlook. More peace during the storms of life. I have had a rough couple of days at work and my "attitude" sailed through it fine. Thank you Lord!
2. Puppies. I love puppies. I am a dog person but I cannot have a dog where I live. However, someone I know just got a new puppy and he is soooo adorable. He brings a smile to my face every time I see him! Thank you, Lord.
3. Writing. I am so grateful for the gift and joy of writing and being able to share my faith this way. Good news - I have just published a new ebook. More information forthcoming soon! Thank you, Lord.
4. Freedom - being an American Catholic and able to vote and to speak my mind. I voted in my state's primary today. And I sent letters to my representative and senator this week asking for the HHS Mandate to be rescinded. I am grateful that we have the freedoms we have in this country. But we have to pray and we have to be vigilant. We are in danger of losing our religious freedom. Thank you Lord for our freedom. May we never take it for granted.
5. Diets. Welllll .... I am not really grateful for having to go on a diet, but I am grateful that some diets actually work (kinda - sorta) and my husband has found some good recipes to use on our diet which makes it bearable. So maybe I should say that I am grateful for my husband and his cooking talents rather than diets. Just don't tell him I tried a kahlua coffee today (not really kahlua - just flavored like it) but I am not sure it is on our diet. (Darn.)
Have a blessed and grateful week!
