Thankful Thursday: Simplicity

Join us at Women Taking A Stand today for Thankful Thursday.

Laurie has chosen simplicity for today's theme. One of the definitions of simplicity is: "freedom from complexity, intricacy, or division into parts." Sometimes I hear people say "back in the good ol' days...." We have so much going on in our lives on a daily basis. I think it would do us all good to take some time frequently to step away from it all, take a break from the busy rush of life and live a more simple life. We miss out in the rush that we fail to notice the simple...things like a baby's smile, the circles made by rain dropping in a puddle, and the sounds of the wind through the tall grass.

What are you thankful for today? I'm thankful for...

~ my sweet, loving husband. I went to the dentist this week and found out I have to have some work done on my teeth. After I left I went straight to my husband's office. He immediately comforted me and hugged me. I'm so thankful he knew exactly what I needed at that moment.

~ my sweet boy who is such a hard worker.

~ nice cool fall weather.

~ enjoying an audio book. It's been fun to listen to as I've been driving around. It is my first time to listen to a book and I wasn't sure I'd like it. But it's been great!

~ those who protect us and our country.

Have a day of blessings!
