Hi, today I am grateful for lazy day. Sitting in a warm house, eating hot gumbo and watching the Chiefs play football. I stayed in my P.J’s all day. Did get the bed sheets washed and put back onto the bed. Washed a load of towels and that is just about it. Felt good today!

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Hi, today I am grateful for getting new tires on my car. This ties into my grateful for work I posted yesterday. I’ve known for a while that my tires were needing replaced. Just spending so much money is hard to part with. Today I bit the bullet.

Kevin wanted me to get Michelin. I had gone to my local Big O Tires. The Michelin tires I had on the car, Big O’s did not have 4 in stock. It would have been next week and I wanted to get tires today. I ended up going with the Big O Tire brand. These are 75,000 mile tires. Michelin would have been 80,000.

While waiting, I met a real nice lady. She was very patient with me while I told her about my Weight Watcher journey. I just came from my weekly meeting and I can officially say I have lost 25 lbs since my start date! Our visit was very pleasurable. I have gained a new friend. The Good Lord does work in mysterious ways. We knew many of the same people even though this was our first meeting.

The Good Lord works in mysterious ways!

WW Update:
Since Start Date; -25.6lbs

thankful for work

Practicing Gratitude 27 of 31 | 101 in 1001

Hi, reflecting on my day and thinking about what I am grateful for today was challenging. Challenging in the respect of my Monday thru Friday it’s the same. I work from home. Not a whole lot of action. The last couple days I mentioned gratefulness for technology. One of the things I did today was take my first picture with my new iPhone. Not because I took it of myself, but rather I had taken it while I was working. Headphones is how I take my calls. So when I look at the selfie I took, I have to be grateful for working. This allows me to be able to have the technology that brings me joy. Work allows me to pay for groceries, household items needed and other needed items. So when I reflect on this image, I am reminded of what I have to be grateful for.

Hi, today I am grateful for the new iPhone 15 Pro Max. For the past several years I have splurged and upgraded to the newest phone model. It goes back to my techie obsession and I will need to work on this. 🤔

Hi, today I am grateful for technology. I absolutely enjoy the pleasure my laptop, computer gear, cellphone and all the things that go with the techie stuff brings to me. I have been taking digital pictures for over 20 years now. Most of my saved files are on CDs and the newer laptops and PCs do not have the DVD/CD drives anymore. At least my newest laptop does not. My newest techie purchase was the external DVD/CD drive. I had so much fun looking thru my past images last evening and today!

Practicing Gratitude 24 of 31 frozen bananas

Practicing Gratitude 24 of 31 | 101 in 1001

Hi, I am amazed at how many new foods I have tried. Not all new, but new ways of preparing foods. This is all because of Weight Watchers. One example is the simple banana.🍌 NEVER did it occur to me to eat frozen bananas until I was introduced to delicious smoothies! For sure, today I am grateful for discovering how delicious frozen bananas taste.

Freezing bananas is really simple.


My freezer is not large so I used a regular dinner plate. Peeled the bananas and cut into chunks. Stood the chunks on end on the plate. Set the plate in the freezer for 1 – 2 hours. Placed the banana chunks into a zip lock baggie. As I was sealing the bag shut, pushed as much air from the bag as possible. These will not last long in the freezer!!

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra
