Blessed -IG Five Year Anniversary Chart - Freebie

 Rain drops keep falling on my head...

Good Thursday morning, Sweet friends. 

Yesterday I awoke to a beautiful rainy day. It was a gentle rain that only lasted a few hours , but it made the plants perk up with joy and shout "Yahoo!" 

More rain is on the way as Hurricane Helene approaches and makes landfall. My prayers go out to all of those in Helene's path. 








For the last 4 years, I have always shared a "Blessed " chart. 

Sept 26, 2020 - 1 year IG Anniversary Post


Five years ago today, I took a big plunge for me and that was to get on social media. Oh boy, was I scared  to death, but with a few words of encouragement from my daughter, I posted a photo on Instagram.  I know this is not a big deal, but it sure was in my mind especially since I was not very tech savvy . 

So I could not let this day go by without telling you how grateful I am to all of you. You are my sweet friends and a blessing in my life. 


You brighten my day and lift my spirits. Your sweet visits , words of encouragement and support  means the world to me.  I do feel blessed. 

Thank you!

  4. Happy IG-anniversary Melisa! I know what you mean, I felt "exposed". LOL! I forgot what part of Tennessee you are in, but Helene will most likely affect your whole state. I pray you won't have strong winds, but I hope you do get your much needed rain.

    1. Oh thank you so very much for the happy anniversary wishes. I have been watching the weather this morning. The electricity has already gone off for several hours this morning, but thankfully restored. I am not sure why though because it has not been windy yet. I plan to batten down the hatches here shortly and secure the umbrellas, cushions and such. I always worry about trees falling on the house. Fingers crossed it will not get too bad. Have a wonderful day, sweet friend. Hugs.

    1. Oh thank you so much, Donna.  IG is what I call Instagram. I am so glad that you have moved further inland. I have been watching the news about Helene's progress this morning; it sounds scary with the large storm surges and winds.   Do stay safe. You will stay in my continued prayers. Hugs and Blessings.

  9. Happy anniversary. 5 years wonderful patterns and ideas. You are very generous to share them with us.
    I read you live in the state TN. My favorite music comes from there. Years ago, my husband and I wanted to go there but we were warned because of a tornado, So we went to the other direction and I did not see the Grand Old Opry or one of my favorite singers. Buhuuhuu!
    Blessed is a very elegant pattern.
    Stay safe,
    Gabi

  15. I really like this year's Blessed pattern. That border around the word is so pretty. Thank you. We got some rain, too, accompanied by some pretty strong wind. Nothing to worry about, though, but made for some messy dust storms. The rain helped settle that right down.
