Name something you are happy about today

Oh yeah, that's right. You just got back from your anniversary trip right? I forgot where you were going but how was it?

Nope, no anniversary trip, but we moved. We felt the Lord calling us back to my hometown. So, here we are. Still unpacking, but almost done. I can't wait to sell what we don't need...this will help my sanity as I can't stand much stuff...long stories about that. Found another church we are going to try out. Going to do our best to finish up so we can start getting a Bible Study group going not this Saturday, but the next. Thinking about outreach opportunities as well, thankfully the holiday season is upon us so there are a lot more creative outreach ideas! We have gotten in touch with old friends so it has been a great thing!
 
happy that I thought enough of The Other Person to call my mama and tell her I'm praying for+wishing her well (she has upcoming medical tests...today, actually). She responded...OK, I guess. LOL. Most parents wouldn't have done as much as they have, much less kept on supporting me (long story...).

I'm thankful for my parents, my apartment, my health, my intelligence (not a super genius, but I no longer have obvious brain damage and all kinds of cognitive problems...), and my imperfect, but growing, love of and faith in Christ Jesus.

I'm also thankful that The Lord has blessed my parents' finances. It isn't just about what they can get me or do for me...it really is about them, too. They worked hard. Even though they have secure jobs, people have tried to get them fired (long story...southern town nonsense, basically). God saw the through! Mama even retired, at long last. Dad may very well retire in the not so distant future, and...from what he's told me...they'll be comfy, financially.

I see my shrink today. I'm thankful for disability, which -completely- covers the sessions and brings my 2 psych drugs in at a low, low copay. Oh, and...I can actually tolerate the heavy-hitter, an 'atypical' tranquilizer. I once had facial tics and such (tardive dyskinesia)...I don't now. Antioxidants and b-vitamins may or may not have actually helped with that, but...basically, The Lord set me free from a whole, whole, whole lotta bondage and oppression and general darkness.

I spoke to Verna at length last night. I'm thankful that I'm a real friend to her now, not just somebody she took pity on and kept in touch with, despite all my flaws (and I am thankful). Obviously, we're very different people, but...as I've grown in Christ, our bond has grown, even though...I"m 34, she's in her 70s, and we somehow inhabit very different worlds, even though we're both Southerners.

OK. That's about it from me. :)
 
I'm super happy! My new LS1 engine harness came in last night and it's beautiful! I was able to install 80% of it last night and it has some extra benefits I had no idea about until last night that will make tieing the engine harness into the car harness seamless.

I dont know what I was thinking a year ago when i agreed to let a "buddy" talk me into letting him rework my original harness. Lesson learned.

Oh, and the PCM (computer) will mount near the glove box all hidden and tucked away. When you open the hood of the car, it's going to look clean and uncluttered. I'm excited!
 
Don't understand anything about cars but - Sounds great. Must be because it's made you feel excited.
 
Well, originally I was going to be depressed for the day because it was raining this morning and I couldn't go to the beach, but the good news is that at least the sun is out now. :yes
