Thankful Thursday

It's been such an icky, dreary day! But I can't complain too much because it was my day off and I was able to catch up some rest (I'm determined not to get whatever is going around. That and the flu shot helps too). I had a dentist appointment this morning--cavity free! Then my parents and I went out for lunch. After lunch my mom and I made our way to Costco to return a pair of boots. While we were there, I had to stop and check out digital cameras. Yes, I am still saving for the "nice" camera, but I feel like I need an inexpensive one to get me through till then. With the holidays coming up, I don't want to be without a camera to capture the memories! I saw a few that fit my price range, but I want to do some more research and read user ratings before I actually fork over the money for one.

Anyway, I haven't done a Thankful Thursday in a while (heck, I haven't blogged in a while!) and I feel like jumping back into it today. So here goes...

Today I am thankful for...
*the chance to see a friend, even though it was only for a few minutes. Thanks for dropping off the candle, Jeanie!

*making the time to spend in God's word. I always feel like something is missing when I don't--hmmm.. I wonder why?

Yesterday

Yesterday was National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Rememberance Day, and I didn't even realize it until the day was practically over. Although I think it's great that we have a national day of rememberance for all of the women who have suffered miscarriages and infant loss, I think it's something that I carry with me every day. I miscarried in April 2008, and I still think about it all the time. Even though the sharp edges of pain and sadness have been smoothed by time, there will always be that dull ache in my heart when I think about it. Which leads me to my new Scripture Memory Verse for the last half of October...

The Lord is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him. -Lamentations 3:25

I keep searching. I keep on praying. I keep hoping for a miracle...

blah

I'm still here!

I can't explain it, but I have not felt like blogging at all lately. A case of the blahs, maybe. Honestly, I haven't really felt like myself either. I may very well be in a bad funk. Hoping it ends soon.
