Today was a good day. A bit trying with a cracked rib, but not every day is perfect. But it is good. I'm thankful I got up when I did this morning. I got the laundry into the washer by 4:30 AM. It means I got four hours of sleep as I went to bed at 11 last night. I'm thankful for the exercise class this morning. I put five miles on the bike during the short tape. Only three people this morning. Christmas is coming and people are busy. I'm also thankful I have all my steps and a lot more. Right now, I'm over 9K. I'm thankful for rock painting today. It's always a fun relaxing time. I stopped at Walgreens on my way to pick up a sympathy card for my friend who runs the rock painting class. She lost her kitty last week. I also got her a gift for Christmas. I planned on painting a bird on the rock I prepainted the background for, but it turned into a snowman family. I'll bring it home next week. I'm thankful for the nap I got this afternoon. It was a good hour in the recliner. It showed me it's the best place to sleep until my rib heals. I'm thankful for the work I did on Wilderness Challenge. I didn't have time to get it finished as planned. I'll have it done before the end of the year. I don't have much more to edit. Maybe fifty pages give or take. I'm thankful for prayer tonight. Only two of us for now. I suggested we meet in her apartment until they fix the garage door. She agreed. Okay, that's my day. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. Another tree from the round robin.

Thank you. Yes, it hurts a lot, but right now the pain is minimal. I took Ibuprofen. Yes, we do get attached to our pets. She had two cats: a brother and sister. She said the brother is starting to look for his sister. So sad.

@LadyDuck It can be hard on animals when pets die.

Sounds like a good day there, minus the pain with your rib. Hope that it feels better soon. Glad you could still have a good day. Rock painting sounds fun. Making some Christmas themed ones would be a cool idea!

Love the tree. I'm sorry your rib is still bothering you. I wonder how long it will take until it heals? Have a good weekend.

I remember you rockpainting hobby. Now you're painting birds on rocks. That's great. By the way, is that your Christmas tree on picture? It's wonderful. I love it.

No, this isn't my tree. It's from the round robin I participated in a few nights ago. We visited many apartments, and I took pictures of their trees. They were beautiful. I decided not to paint a bird this time. I painted a snowman family. I will bring the rock home next week.
