Debra #201 - #222

#201:  I am grateful that I am losing body fat.  It is slow but sure.

#202:  I am grateful for the three hours or so that I had to be by myself in peace and quiet.   The house was still and the only thing I could hear was Presley sleeping.  Fabulous!

#203:  I am grateful that I have a gratitude bracelet with two beads.  It means something when I wear it.

#204:  I am grateful that Chelsea and Brenley have earned their first beads.  Brenley has hers and we are still waiting for Chelsea's in the mail.

#205:  I am grateful that Dad is participating still.

#206:  I am grateful that Presley was so fun today.  She jumped right into my lap and she hung out with me all day.  Super fun!  I actually think that she smiled.

#207:  I am grateful that we all got our physicals, fingerprints, etc. finished for Brenley and Eric for their adoption process.  

#208:  I am grateful for the new teaching method that I learned at my teacher's meeting.

#209:  I am grateful for the chance I had to meet the Higley High School accompanist.  She was a helpful person and I have a lot in common with her.

#210:  I am grateful that I found a website that was very informative today.  I had a specific thing I have been wondering about and was able to get some answers.

#211:  I am grateful that I was able to get the laundry done this week.

#212:  I am grateful that Holli read my letter.

#213:  I am grateful that Emily shows me the dragon, Mrs. Kippling, on the Jessica show.  It makes me smile.

#214:  I am grateful for Monsoon season and how it started right when we planted flowers.

#215:  I am grateful for our big brown couch and how comfortable it is.

#216:  I am grateful that Dad usually takes care of the garbage, pool, chlorine, etc.  It is a lot of extra work that I am not that talented at.

#217:  I am grateful that it was so easy to say good things about Eric and Brenley on their adoption reference letter.

#218:  I am grateful that I had a better attitude about this week during the second half of it.  I am focused on trying to be more kind when I speak to others.  Tonight, I counted to 10 before I was about to say something that wasn't that nice.  

#219:  I am grateful for Dad's new keyboard on his IPAD.

#220:  I am grateful that Dad is back from camp.

#221:  I am grateful that Dad's IPAD is back from camp.

#222:   I am grateful for son-in-laws that are patient with my daughters.  This is the top thing that I am grateful for today.   They are all lucky girls.

#223:  I am grateful for how beautiful the flowers are during the humidity.

#224:  I am grateful that Chelsea has helped out with Emily, Noni, and Holli during the past few weeks.  She has a magic way with people.
