I made the Apple Cider Glazed Chicken recipe today and is it ever good. Pretty too. Here is the link if anyone else wants to try it. Very easy and quick to make I thought.

I have always been big on volunteering and often to the extent that I put everything before myself. The last 5 months or so I have been exhausted from taking on too much, so I decided to take a step back. I haven't been vlounteering like I used to, so after reading this weeks challenge I decided that it was time to figure out a way to volunteer in moderation. I just signed up to provide a trunk and candy for the schools festival next Friday. This will allow me to do something nice for hundreds…

My husband has a constant cough so I had him to to the doctor yesterday. They did an x-ray and all looked good. I'm grateful for him and for the results. I guess his constant coughing is most likely an allergy and possibly smoke coming our way from the fires-air quality. The doctor did give him some cough medicine which isn't helping at all. I worry about the toll coughing like that takes on his body. 

My sister is having day surgery for kidney stones on Wednesday. I would have liked to…

I know that this weeks "challenge" is to show gratitude each day, However, I have to say, and I don't mean this boastfully, but I sincerely and humbly feel and try to express gratitude each and every day, as I deeply feel a heartfelt gratitude for life itself and all that comes with it as I cherish my time on earth.  I know that life's experiences influence our attitudes, and the gratitude I feel is no exception.  For one thing, my wonderful father sadly died at the young age of 56, and I…

Hi I am Pat O and new to the community. I will start tomorrow. Oct 15th.

I create my own meal plans? 

I am new to this and just getting started. Just wanted to say hello. My first day will be tomorrow since its already late where I am. So thankful to try this.

Gosh me again. Ok for the challenge I usually don't like to tell what I do in that way. I just quietly go about doing what I do. Since we need to report though I will try to share one thing each day. 

My husband usually does his own laundry (he acutally likes to) but Sunday I did it for him so he could go forward with other plans he had.

Today I sent a lady from our Embrace class a document I put together for a new class we have starting soon. She has a disease that attacks her joints…

I want to wish anyone in Canada a Happy Thanksgiving today. 

Sunday is no technology and we love it. So here I am on Monday checking back in. 

Today I cleaned the refrigerator. My usual weekly cleaning with vinegar water. I consolidated small amounts into smaller containers and washed the apples, rasphberries and celery. 

Tonight we are having a Taco salad for dinner. We always look forward to it. This is the 2nd time for beef in the past 7 days so I will have to lay off it for a bit since my husbands doctor said to seldom have it. 

I most…

My husband usually does all of the yard work, but he has very busy with work and hasn't had the time to get it done. I had the day off today, so I decided to surprise him. I was able to finish the yards  and all the trimming before I had to start pickng up kids from school. It feels good to do something that I know will be appreciated.
