Chilly or chili?

Day 10/30
Today I hope to continue my rest and recovery. There is still an unease in my tummy. I will need to gather up some strength and brave the cold temperatures when I walk to the post office. I want to post a letter to my mom and then I may be able to say, "I've got mail, too!"

5 things I am grateful for....
  1. A tea kettle that still works with a broken whistle and handle. (the amusing thing is that it is still able to make a sound that tells me, "I am heating up!")
  2. Friends who write me short or long emails to keep in touch
  3. Skype...so I call with it just costing pennies (If you have a computer, we could talk for free!)
  4. The ability to smell...I am anticipating a pot of chili simmering on the stove. I know I should stick to the "BRAT diet" and bland food, but on a cold day warm, comfort food brings fond memories with it.
  5. Continuing to learn to be content whenever, wherever and with whomever I am

O Lord, help us to be content, whatever we possess; protect us from the foolish lie that “more” brings happiness. —Sper
