I Love Thursday #20

Wowee! This is our #20 love list for the week. We are back to our usual Thursday post this week.  LeeAnna and occasionally her poodle Milo blog at Not Afraid of Color  and shares her/their ‘likes’ every Thursday.  Several of our friends also share on a weekly basis – be sure to check them out!

Note:  If you haven’t already, be sure to visit our blogiversary post where you can enter to win our giveaway.  It ends tomorrow night (Friday) at midnight.

Love #1

Finding a penny!  I have always heard from a child on, “find a penny, pick it up and all day you’ll have good luck.”  As an adult, I learned the additional value that an angel or spirit was telling you that you are loved or valued.  I ran in to two pennies in one day – a rarity since I mostly walk a short distance from my car into work.  They were both heads up.  Next time you find a penny or coin maybe you’ll find comfort knowing someone you love is thinking of you.  If it’s facedown flip it over for someone else to find.

Love #2

Need to Know by Karen Cleveland.  I just finished this book, and I could hardly put it down.  I got it from the library and read it in three days . . . it was one of those that I would think about at work, wondering how it was going to wrap up and where it was going.  And the ending!!  Holy moly!  I never saw that coming.  I guess it’s on the best whatever list.  I would highly recommend it, and it is her first book.  I sure hope she has plans for a follow up as there is a little cliffhanger going on.  It is about a CIA intelligence agent and Russian spies . . . I’ll leave it at that. ~smile~

Love #3

Advanced stretching.  I’ve moved on to stretching my calf and heels on stairs now.  You know, you hang your heel off the edge of a step and drop them down slowly.  The stretch in your calf is great and doing it slowly doesn’t cause any damage.  I believe that is one of the best stretches I’ve felt so far and may be the key to getting plantar fasciitis gone for good.  Well, this time anyway.

Love #4

Snow days!  Our district called a snow day (our first in several years) and they changed their policy.  This was the first time in over 30 years working in a school district that the closing included admin/office staff.  Yippee!  I didn’t have to waste a vacation day to stay home warm and safe.  We had eight days of snow – I think everyone around here was welcoming our current five day break.

Love #5

Since yesterday was the special day for love, I thought it would be appropriate to share a love filled photo from Dominic.  He and his momma hope you had a fabulous Valentine’s Day. ~smile~  And someone got his first Valentine in the mail from his friends with a doggy on it. ♥

That’s it for this week!  I hope your week is filled with many blessings.  Happy Thursday!  Our Linky Parties can be found by clicking the link for more quilting fun – check out what our friends are up to.  Like/follow us on our Facebook page and share your likes/loves there!  We love to see them.  ~smile~
