"The world is fairly studded and strewn with pennies cast broadside from a generous hand. But who gets excited by a mere penny? It is dire poverty indeed when a man is so malnourished and fatigued that he won't stoop to pick up a penny. But if you cultivate a healthy poverty and simplicity, so that finding a penny will literally make your day, then, since the world is in fact planted with pennies, you have with your poverty bought a lifetime of days. It is that simple. What you see is what you get." ~Anne Dillard
A few of the small and wonderful things which bring untold joy into my life. It's the small things in life which truly mean the most. Simple abundance . . . it's the best.

I am still able to pick out three specific things I am grateful for in my prayers at the end of each day in addition to the things I am always grateful for. I am very blessed.
Being able to watch church online while I am indisposed and also having the sacrament brought to my home by worthy Priesthood holders. These things bless my sabbath day immeasurably.

Tim had posted a photo of him and his new gf on his FB page on Valentines Day. I commented to him that I thought he was being very disrespectful to his wife. I know I should have been able to just ignore it and move on, but I thought his timing was disgusting. I later removed my comment, but I noticed yesterday he had removed it, so maybe I was not the only one who said something to him about it.

I had ordered some flowers for my sister online as a thankyou and uplift a few weeks back. They were never delivered even though it was supposed to be next day delivery. I finally got my money refunded for them. I did learn an important lesson. Check the reviews. All the ones that I saw after were negative. Seriously. Blossom Flower Delivery Don't ever use them. They are scammers. I even found a video about them! I should have done better research before I ordered from them. Just grateful I was able to get my money back.
Despite my not really being able to go anywhere, Eileen and I managed to have a nice Valentines Day. She enjoyed her gifts from the Valentine Fairy and I was able to cook us a nice dinner from what I already had in the house.

Only five days to go and this nightmare of an experience will HOPEFULLY be over! It was particularly bad over the past few days, but I just keep telling myself, that each day passed brings me closer to it all being finished.
I prayed for and got a decent night's sleep last night. I hardly slept all Saturday night due to the stent so I was exhausted when I went to bed last night. I prayed that I would get a good night's sleep and I did. I am really pleased about that.
Being both the perpetrator and recipient of acts of kindness. Kindness is a gift which never stops giving. I have received so many kindnesses in my life and happily I have also been able to give acts of kindness. Being kind just never gets old.
My life is a mix of good and bad and everything in between. I have found that being able to find gratitude in even my hardest moments has brought even more joy into my life. I truly am blessed in all things.

I made us a classic dessert at the weekend which we both really enjoyed. Mary Berry's Classic Rice Pudding. Oh but it was lovely. I did cut the recipe way down just for us and we polished it off with a nice dollop of jam on top. Yummy!
hope you have a beautiful day. Stay safe and stay warm. Don't forget!
