Happy Thursday One & All!
Today's Thankful Thursday post is brought to you by:
The most maple-y delicious one-cookie-is-a-full-serving treat in the world.Maple Leaf Creme Cookies from....

The Dollar Tree.
That's right.
For the super-low price of $1 you can buy 16 leaf-shaped cookies filled with creamy-maple-goodness (who cares about the 1600 total calories...).
So, throw all caution to the wind, hit up your local Dollar Tree for some of these tasty treats. Be prepared, though. They will deceive you into believing you can *eat as many as you want*.

Ok, now that we have those extra calories on our hips, let's move on.
Today I am thankful for sleeping.
I realized last night what a blessing it is to be able to sleep well & fall asleep easily.
While I do not think I have ever fallen asleep the very second I hit my pillow (yes, we're looking at you, Mr. H), or while laughing (cue: sweet Baby J) --and I definitely have had my share of restless nights (yes, I'm talking to you: prednisone, pregnancy, and punk-neighbors)--overall, I can sleep just about anytime, anywhere.
My heart rejoices when the opportunity for a nap arises and I relish the days that offer extra time to sleep in. I am also thankful for a baby that --for the most part--is an excellent sleeper. He is sleeping right now, actually.
The point is, I have always enjoyed a pretty great sleeping experience, and I really do love my sleepy time.
*I got 5 hours of sleep last night because I stayed up late and then got up early to teach seminary...I'll likely make up for it later today with a nap...and for THIS I am GRATEFUL*
The real point is that through a conversation last night I became very aware of how much of a blessing this is for me (and all others who also enjoy easy sleep).
No doubt I will have sleep disturbances come along --future children, future neighbors, future challenges, future distractions & stress--but for now, I am thankful for the ease of sleep as it stands today.
And I am sending warm, cozy, comfortable, soothing, dreamy wishes to all of you who may not enjoy the same sleepy schedule. I wish for you good naps & good nights.
So...What are your sleeping patterns like?
Are you also thankful for sleepy time?
