Entry #15

#151 - For safety on the trail today with my daughter, Breezy, and Harley, even though there was a runaway horse (someone else's), a mountain biker, a scary oak branch that wanted to eat pony for breakfast, three pedestrians with ski poles (scary!) and various and sundry star thistle plants that planned to dine on horse hocks! Thank you, Lord, for a beautiful morning and that we were safe!

#152 - Bob home safely after being gone (again).

#153 - That Bob has a job, even if it *does* send him off a lot.

#154 - Safety from fire for another day. Thank you, Lord.

#155 - That I live in a place where I can do so many things in a day from snow skiing (in the winter), to water skiing (in the summer), to hiking the beautiful Sierras (even going to Yosemite!), to the ocean, horsebackriding on glorious trails (right off my property, too) and on and on. California *is* overpopulated and overpriced, but it is also BEAUTIFUL with access to everything!

#156 - For friends in women's biblestudy last Thursday night that allowed me to be authentic and honest about some of my biggest fears and biggest dreams...and that they felt safe enough to share there, too.

#157 - For my renewed friendship with "Susan," a friend from church with horses. She is one of only two people I feel I can totally focus on Harley when I ride with. Susan is a special lady with a lot of depth. I feel privileged to know her.

#158 - Daniel's newly emerging sense of humor. He has always had a sense of humor, but it is now officially "maturing" a bit. Instead of finding humor in making up jokes like : What do you call a Wal with a Mart? WALMART! (followed by dorky laughter, God bless him! LOL!), he is now able to bring humor into normal conversations in a very clever way. I am impressed!

#159 - Michaela's love for music and that she has fallen in love with yet another musical instrument she wants to teach herself to play. This time, it is the oboe! Goodness! Thank you, Lord, for placing in her a love of music and the skills to be able to learn so easily. WOW!

#160 - For my physical exam today with my doctor. Everything looks really good and since my last physical exam, my weight is down SEVENTY EIGHT POUNDS since June 6, 2006 on the doctor's scale. YOU ALONE, Lord! You alone! THANK YOU!
