Laughter, Sushi, and Family: My TToT List

Ten Things of Thankful

By Mary Hill

1. I cleaned house this week and kept things reasonably picked up. I have a new Shark sweeper that helps me sweep the floors in all rooms in under 15 minutes. This has been real helpful. I think it should be reviewed by an Arthritis organization. It is light weight and so helpful. *This is not a sponsored post, just my honest feelings. 

2.  I went out with family tonight to a great Sushi restaurant and then went to spend some Christmas giftcards. I bought some nice shirts at JC Penny.

3.  The Sushi restuarant was great. It was our first time visiting it. The name Tokyo Bay in Anderson, SC. It was great.

4.  I can’t take pictures right now, but my husband is getting me a camera for my birthday, hopefully. We looked tonight, but no luck. Does anyone have recommendations for a good digital with view finder and at least 16 Megapixels. I would love your recommendations and even links to good sales if you know of any.

5. No major damage was done from thunder storms today.  We went from below freezing weather to 50 degrees and rain.  We even had storms, hail, lightning and high winds.  Some areas in our upstate South Carolina had flooding, but we were spared.

6.  My Katie Rose is practising a song for church tomorrow on the keyboard. “Come Thou Fount.” It is a beautiful hymn. I hope she will have the confidence to play. 

7.  Has anyone seen the movie, “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty?”  I can’t recommend this movie enough. The story inspired me. I loved the music, the scenery, and comedy.  You really need to see this one.

8.  My insurance disability was reestablished. I am so grateful to my doctors whom supported my appeal. Now, I hope I get the federal government disability.
9.  I am grateful that I have things to laugh about like My funny cat who sleeps under covers all day and my daughter’s quirky sense of humor.

10. Another week to look forward to filled with laughter, happiness, blessing, and family. God provides all my needs.

    MMM sushi! So wonderful that you found a great new restaurant to enjoy with your family. I’m so happy for you that you got your benefits reinstated – what a relief! Also, I have not yet seen The Secret Life of Walter Mitty but have put it on my list!

    I’ve been hearing that too, Michelle! (Guess I will have to make a note to see the movie win it gets to DVD).
    Totally good news on the health care front, not only does that (kind of getting things on track) allow for proper care, it relieves a lot of stress.

    Hi, they are great little sweepers and back savers. I have to keep it charged, but it has a long battery life. I think it does as good as my heavy vac. thanks for stopping by.

    A shark sweeper, huh? I’ve never heard reviews about them before. I love my Dyson, but it is pretty heavy.
    It’s always fun to do some shopping with gift cards, isn’t it? And JCPenney has great deals on good clothes, too.
    It’s wonderful to find laughter in everyday, small things.
    Have a great week!

    HUZZAH for you getting your support reinstated. That must be a huge relief!

    I’m glad you had time in your week for sushi and time with your family. And YAY for the Shark sweeper – I’m glad it’s helping you.

    Hope your daughter’s singing goes well 😀
