Excited About Football

Only 3 months away!
Yes, I do count the pre-season – that’s when we can see the new players working with the veterans on the field. Decide for ourselves who should be cut and who should get a chance.

Just because we decide does not mean the coach, management and sponsors will agree. Frankly, with the decisions being made by the owners and coaches of the SF 49er’s, they should ask the fans to give comments and vote. After all, the sponsors want us to watch and see their advertisements. Management wants the bucks to keep rolling in, so maybe they should shut-up and listen to us. We watch way more live game footage, while they schmooze and mingle with the VIP crowd. We may even know something about football!

Sorry. This is not supposed to be a rant…

I just wanted to share the football mania going on this summer with our family…

A Gratitude List

May 9, 2016 ~ JodiLea

My dearest readers,

A few posts ago I mentioned making a “Gratitude List” to help fight depression & subsequent attitudes that follow. Of course I am grateful for my dear hubby, family, and friends. This list would be miles long if I mentioned them all (and be very boring to read) so …

So this list is what I am also grateful for:

My puppy (even though she is a complete and total pain in the butt, we adore each other)
That I live in a time with indoor plumbing and electricity
Hollywood Movies
Small towns
Retirement (I smile every time I remember that I am!)
Board meetings are only once per month
Novels – even the monstrosity I have written for the past three years now.
My blog. It saved my sanity in 2011-2012. (OK, but at least most of it)
I have the means now to see my BFF every year. (She lives 2,000 miles away.)

I cannot leave out the most important thing I am grateful for – a loving God and a VERY hard-working, ever patient, guardian angel. I’ve never met him, but I know he is there. Always ready to protect me from (myself mostly), and kick my butt when he has had it with my stupidity and needs to get my attention.

I imagine he looks formidable and handsome – like Ving Rhames.

I am also grateful for so many little, silly things. Maybe someday I’ll put together that list for Thursday’s Giggles and Bits. It’s a thought!
