I guess it is time already for Thankful Thursday. As I was exercising this morning I was thinking of what I have to be thankful for. It seems like I always think of the same things each week. I really think it is a good thing to be consciously thankful....to stop and think about our blessings. That is what Thankful Thursday does for me. Often during the week when something happens I'll think to myself I have to remember that one for my Thursday post. It is encouraging as well to read other posts of thankfulness. Everyone I find is going through a different stage of life, and it really blesses my day to read of others who have so much be thankful for wherever they may be at the time in life.
Today I am thankful for...
*my husband inviting me to go on a short little trip with him next week. I like to have a change of pace every now and then.
*my sweet boy. I can always find something to be thankful for about him. Today he made me a cute picture and was so proud to give it to me and show me he'd written my name on it.
*paying off our car! Yippee! It is exciting to move forward and think of the possibilities that we'll have soon.
*friends from an online community. I may post more about this another time. I found out some unexpected news today, but I'm thankful for my friendships there over the past 4 years.
*and for some fun I've taken pictures of some other things that I'm thankful for this week. I was thinking how blessed we are and how some of these things make life so much easier. Most of them are doors. I was going to do the toilet for indoor plumbing and our fridge but didn't like how the pictures turned out!
1. a pantry full of food: Sometimes this just humbles me to know how many people don't have food to eat. 
2. a stove: I really cannot imagine cooking our meals outside over a fire every night. 
3. our home: This is our safe haven of happy times together.
4. our car: paid off and reliable.
5. washing machine/dryer: Can you even begin to imagine using a wash board to do your family's clothes!
6. our mailbox: Anyone who knows me knows how much I love to send and receive mail.
Hope you have a wonderful Thursday of thankfulness! Thank you for stopping by. You can read other posts for one more week by visiting Lynn. God bless you.

It's great that you stop and think about all the things you have to be thankful for each and every week.
What a beautiful post. I need to start implementing Thankful Thursday into my blog too.
I too have much to be thankful for.
Thank you for reminding me to praise the LORD for everything in my life.
I LOVE your blog. You have such a great TT post. I have really enjoyed my visit here. Have fun with that baby boy today! I have two babies that I try to enjoy everyday. Well, one is 18 and one is 16 but "I don't care if their 80! they will always be my babies". God Bless!
Great list! Having a reliable car that is paid for is awesome, I love having that $$ for other things than a car payment :)
Your blog is wonderful. I have a Caleb too who is 3 (will be 4 in March)! I love DLTK site too and I will have to check out the other two preschool links.
Thanks for visiting over at my blog! You have a great TT list.
