Thoughts on Thursday

As usual just a few random thoughts that pop into my head:

• My fingernails are actually growing, all of them. Yes, one is still deformed and sometimes I break one, but .....I have fingernails.

• if you are a praying person I'd appreciate prayers for a good friend of mine.
• The good news is my sister and her boyfriend will be moving into their 'new' house next month. God sent Jack to Sandy so she wouldn't be alone after our mother passed away. He also gave her Oliver (mom's cat) so when her cat died she'd have another furry friend to love.
