Yes, Thank God it's Friday. It's been a difficult week in many ways, but it's been a week full of blessings too. I don't know if I'll get around to it every Friday, but I'd like to get into the habit of closing out the official work week with a reminder of the many ways that God has moved in my life during the week. It's usually easy to remember the big things, but God is also in the little things. Nothing is to big, or too small, for God.
Thank you this week God for:

We have so many blessings that God has given us, yet we often tend to overlook them...or we generally focus on the "bigger" ones and not notice the "smaller" ones. I too have many things to be thankful for.
Hey Sydney, (I almost called you by your former name -- this will take some adjustment!) Anyway - how is your daughter doing at the new school?
As you know, I knit, but I would love to learn how to crochet, since it is so much faster. I like the idea of being able to produce shawls faster, instead of the creeping pace at which I knit. Perhaps you can give me a lesson sometime?
Anyway, I haven't forgotten about your "Think Pink" idea, and I still want to be involved with that. I have to go out of town again this week starting on Sunday, but after that I should be home for a few weeks, so will have time to devote to things like that. Let me know how I can help.
