thankful....




















These days I am particularly thankful for….

a roof over my head
good health
two wonderful children
a happy dog who greets me at the door
lower gas prices ($1.79)
being caught up on homework
post-it notes that keep me organized
a new wire rake with spring action
kind blogging friends
a husband who is very patient

a GOD who loves me for me

Side note* thank you to those who are helping me spread the word about Earl.
It is both selfless and kind. You keep my faith in humanity alive.

And I can’t believe more people didn’t participate in the Christmas Ornament exchange!

I know, I know...money is tight, schedules are too busy...
Bah Hum Bug…well the three of us that did will sure have fun!

Good for you being thankful for a spring rake. hahaha That's like me when I get something new for my yard work; better than perfume or jewels. :)

Take care and have a wonderful Thanksgiving. ((HUGS))

That's a great list! And I am thankful that I participated in your sweet ornament giveaway! We're on travel all this week, so it will be exciting to have a surprise ornament waiting in the pile of mail being delivered next week. LOL!

Oh, Joni...I am sorry you didn't have more to share in your christmas ornament exchange...it was such a lovely idea...if I had lived in the US with you I would have been in it too! Didn't want anyone to have to pay postage to Australia at the last minute!!

Have a great Thanksgiving week!

Many things to be thankful for, and you are certainly one of those things I am thankful for. Thanks for being my new friend, thanks for sharing, thanks for caring about "me", and thanks for being the kind hearted person that you are. (gas is 1.57 here) (sorry, didn't mean to rub that in or anything, just really really happy about it!)
