Thankful Thursday: January 24, 2013

Thursday!

Thanks!

Busy, beautiful day 

(even with -13° windchill at 11am)

and I'm running out of energy & time. 

So I'll skip on to the good part.

I'm Thankful For:

-stunning sunsets (and that I can watch them from the warmth of inside)
-warm socks
-laundry piles (it means I have clothes & they are clean!)
-my awesome Mr. whose phone calls always make me smile
-memories that remind me of where I've been & where I want to go
-cute little owl decals above my computer desk (remind me of my Granny)
-a happy, healthy crew
-strong, faithful, inspiring people in my life
-down time with my girlfriends (Girls Night! Holla!)
-forgiveness
-new habits 
-little heaters (electric ones AND little snuggly baby ones)
-a week without the Mr. that has flown by
-plans with friends
-babysitters!
-temple time
-strawberry preserves
-sleeping in
-"me time" after the kids go to bed
-hugs
-the God who made us all

And you? Feeling thankful today?
