.... for a nice relaxing afternoon watching tv by the fire while watching the rain coming down outside

...... for the signs of spring all around - the tiny snowdrops in the garden and the sight of catkins on some trees as I passed today

.... for the sense of smell.   To enjoy the perfume of some soap I was making

.... that my bruises are now fast disappearing (apart from one) and I`m feeling ok again

.... for a delicious fish and chip tea

...... for the sight of tiny snowdrops in my garden.  A lovely sign of spring.

.... that the snow from yesterday had all gone this morning

.... had a delicious steamed lemon sponge for lunch

..... a beautiful bunch of dark purple tulips from a friend.  The colour is so unusual and beautiful.

..... I had a friend to visit today, and it was lovely to have some company. 

...... for a safe drive back in the snow, from my Mums a short time ago.

...... That I was able to do some hoovering round the house today.   Maybe sounds a strange thing to give thanks for, but I`d been told that I mustn`t do it, when they thought I might have angina.

..... It`s Shrove Tuesday - so it has to be thanks for the delicious pancakes with sugar and lemon which turned out well and were delicious!

..... that a meeting I was secretary of, went well tonight in all its planing for a big event

... for a beautiful sunny day.

.... for having a little walk out in the sunshine after being indoors for four days. 

.... for the song of my little canary.   What company he`s been to me these last few days.

.... for a lovely bunch of daffodils given to me by a friend.  The daffodils were still in bud and its a joy to watch them develop and bloom in the warmth of the room.    
And, I guess there`s a message in there for us - that with warmth and love, and care and concern, we blossom and grow too.

.... for all the phone calls I have received today from church friends asking how I got on yesterday.  I was surprised and very moved by the concern they showed for me.

.....  very grateful thanks, that the hospital tests today revealed that there was no problem with my arteries or heart. 
and for the kindness and care of the nurses and all the hospital staff, and especially for my good friend who stayed with me throughout the time in hospital and last night at home.

.... for a lovely hard made get well card that popped through my letter box a short while ago, just as I was feeling low and anxious about tomorrow.

.... for our evening service which was a special Healing Service with the laying on of hands, and was so relevant to me

.... for an enjoyable day with a friend who came to see me

.... for the offers of help and transport from so many kind friends at our church

.... for the sight of two beautiful deer, that my car headlights lit up in a field as I drove home tonight

.... that I eneded today feeling a lot better than I had when I got up in the morning.

..... that I felt better after my days work today than I did yesterday.

.... for the prayers our minister said for me at the end of a meeting this evening.  I found that very moving.
