  Jackson, TN: Day Six There isn't one of us who couldn't fill libraries with books that detailed our counted blessings. If you don't feel blessed you should do some serious thinking. Don't be blind to your blessing. I am grateful for many things, today included. I slept almost right up until noon when we went over to grandmother's. We looked through sales papers.
Tomorrow we're setting out early for the-day-after shopping. This was my idea actually. I'm continuing a tradition I've had for many years with my mother. Lunch was good, but last night's lasagna was still better...even tonight. Donna and I came back to her house to get some articles and such for classes. While here we made a few calls.
She called her father. She called and made plans for us to catch a movie with Jessica later. I called home. It was nice to talk to my mother. I told her I liked it here, but that I would rather be home with them. I love my family.
I really do. Mom put Claire on the phone. I also got to talk to my sister and brother. We talked about what everyone wanted for Christmas and about the next day's sales. She asked if I had heard from Chris. Chris has been my best friend for over 8 years.
Two Mays ago he moved away to Atlanta. Last time I saw him was New Year's Day. Last I heard from him he was getting married in two days. That was September 5th. I misplaced his number. He and Tracy are going to be parent's in a few months.
For that reason especially I've been wanting to call and see how things are going for this dear friend of mine. He called my parent's house trying to find me. Mom gave him the numbers for this place. The news was that the two are moving to Headland, which is near enough I'll be able to see him regularly. I'll be able to spend some of the Holidays with him. He'll be moving down in two weeks.
I'm excited. After making the calls Donna and I went back over to her grandmother's. We sat over there until five. Then we headed to the movies, after picking Jessica up. Well, showtime was 7:30. We watched Eight Crazy Nights .
I give the movie a 5 because in my opinion it is a little too vulgar for a cartoon. Still, it was pretty funny in a lot of parts. I heard some great news from another friend. This news was a relief. Now we are viewing Edward Scissorhands . Let us not limit gratitude to one day a year.
