Day 143 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

Today I am thankful for the messages everyone sent me. I am in the hospital with pancreatitis. It was so nice to see and read all of the sweet comments and emails. I am not permitted to have any food because the treatment is to starve the pancrease. I am not really hungry but I miss the taste of food. I am thankful that I have nice nurses

         Today I am thankful for the happy memory that Dan reminded me of.  He is away camping by himself.  His brother Larry was supposed to go with him but Larry got sick and couldn't go. In the summer they were supposed to go together but Dan got sick!! So Dan decided to go alone. He is not far from Olya's college campus so yesterday he picked her up and they went train watching and out to a Chinese buffet for dinner!!Dan has a scanner and Olya loves using the scanner for trains.  I think Olya likes to go train watching!! When Dan called me this morning, he told me that he doesn't need an alarm clock because there are chickens somewhere close by the campground that wake him up early every morning. When I was a kid, 5 and 10 cent stores like Grants and Woolworths use to sell baby ducks and chickens near Easter. I don't think any of those stores exist today! The baby chicks and ducklings were dyed pink, green, purple, orange, blue, and yellow....

        Today I got my hair cut at the salon where Olivia works.  I am thankful that I got to see her at work and meet some of her co-workers. I asked for her as my shampoo girl.  She did a great job!  Everyone there really likes her.  I met the owner and he said he enjoys having he work here  because he feels her enthusiasm  for cosmetology.  The woman who cut my hair said the same thing.  They enjoy listening to the things she tells them she is learning in cosmetology school. It's nice to see your adult kids successful! I got a great haircut, I just love it.  Of course, I almost dropped dead when I was told the price of $80.00! I gave the beautician a tip of $20 and I left a tip of $10 for Olivia. Olivia is really in her element there.  When you check out there, they give you tiny envelopes to put the tips in a basket.  There are names on wooden blocks behind the basket.  The receptionist wa...

         Today I am thankful for the kindness of strangers!  When I am using my walker or cane, most people are always so nice!  They run in front of me to open the door and hold it for me! An older gentleman waited by the side of my car when I was getting my walker out.  He asked if he could help me.  I said no, thank you, I am OK.  Then he waited at the door of the store and opened it for me! I thanked him and told him that he was a gentleman.           I am also thankful for my stupid cats!When we got Nittany, about a year ago, Olivia bought him a cat bed. He  never  went in the bed.  Olivia would put him in the bed and try to hold him in there, but as soon as she'd let go, he would jump out. Fast forward a year when we got Rosie at the SPCA. She loved  the cat bed from he moment we brought her home!  Every time that Rosie comes into the room, Nittany jumps in the cat bed! If she i...
