Thankful Thursday

It's been quite a week - really high highs followed by really low lows. Let's see if I can find ten things for which I am thankful...

• At the very top of the list - Ashley doesn't have to have brain surgery right now


• That Ashley slept all night last night. I can't remember a night like that since the day I adopted her over 10 years ago


• That Dancing With The Stars is back on TV


• The really good hamburgers I made for dinner tonight


• That the bus problem experienced yesterday was solved today


• That this Saturday we're going apple picking


• Dr. Ted Williams, Ashley's gastroenterologist, and the fact that he was available on very short notice yesterday


• Henrico County Fire Fighters - they came to Ashley's rescue once again yesterday after an incident at school, transporting her to the ER, and keeping her calm and happy the whole way there


• Shoe shops that can repair a favorite pair of shoes and not charge a fortune in the process


• My son, Chip. Each day brings another facet to this special kid and his many talents.
