With the American holiday of Thanksgiving being less than a week away, I tried to think of some questions for Friday Five that could be connected to this, but in a new way. So here is my one try:
Name five things that were unexpected in your life that you are now grateful for.
1. My husband. After 41 (or so, but who's counting) years of singlehood, I got married. Very unexpected. But very good.
2. Our Dog Scout. Before Scout, I was a cat person. I was the kind of cat person who let my cat sleep on the bed at night. And I had a cat who loved to curl up in my lap. But, the first thing that happened was that my husband was allergic to cats. The second thing that happened was that we met Scout. Now, we are Totally Bonded. And I am Very Grateful.3. Being a Pastor. When I was a little girl, women could not be pastors. I am surprised and grateful that women can be pastors, that God called me, and that a congregation also called me to be their pastor.
4. New friends. I am grateful for Fran, Terri, Lindy, Marsha, Stephanie, Jan, Amy (Dogblogger), Robin, etc. etc. Some of you I have met. Some of you I still hope to meet someday. I never imagined that I could be good friends with people I have never met (or met just once). (sorry no links right now, maybe a little later....)

That's pretty amazing about finding your soul mate after 41 years! I'm so glad, especially since I've met you both!! Scout is a wonderful role model for Maisie. And I treasure our friendship; I never knew I would find such close friends through blogging--who knew??
Great picture of Scout ... and I love the socks.
