This is one of those weeks where I am going to need to focus on all of the good things in my life, so I thought I would start the week of with another "thankfulness" post. You can bet that when you see "thankfulness" posts on my blog that I am struggling a bit with an attitude or circumstances that just don't fit. I am a big believer in making sure my mind is centered on the right things to avoid big pitfalls, you know?
Today I am thankful for:
***apples. i have a bunch of them that need to be canned. it's good to have work to do.
***a source of free grapes for making grape juice for canning. i love free and useful things!
***great kids who make me laugh often.
***a married daughter i get to talk and text to often.
***a really cool business that feels more like a hobby than a job.
***a God who speaks to me when I sit still to listen.
***a God who speaks His love to my heart when I need it.
***my mom lives close by! how many years did i pray for this?
***a friend with a really good listening ear. everyone needs one of those.
***brown belt testing in one week. i can be thankful for something that is a little scary, right?
***sewing projects waiting for attention. i love creating.
***a dad who loves me. and his lovely wife who is a gem. i am so glad he married her!
***a car with a good stereo system. i love loud music!
***a scale that tells me that my weight is almost where i want it. almost.
***blog friends who take the time to stop by and say "hi". you mean a lot to me.
***a bike i can ride. my hubs fixed one up since mine was broken. it's a nice way to exercise.
***a laundry pile that reminds me that i have lots of wonderful people living in my home.
***coffee. the first cup in the morning when it's cold outside. love it!
what about you? are you thankful for something today?
