Thankful Thursday

What are you thankful for this week?  Here's my list.

~ my husband asking me what he can do to help me in this busy, busy season.

~ being able to get lunch/breakfast stuff for my big boy a little white longer!

~ my 8 year old boy!  This is his last day to be 8!  We look forward to celebrating him tomorrow and with a party on Saturday.

~ The blessing of others in my life this week....my Mom made supper for us on Tuesday and brought it over. Also, a sweet friend sending me a gift card for a massage.  It was a nice surprise.

~ that our "wellness day" for teachers/staff was  a huge success on their PD day.  The comments have been positive and they seemed to enjoy it!  I was so thankful to be part of this and that it went so well.

s

~ that we went to the church family retreat.  We have so much going on right now and it was a blessing to get a way for a couple of days.

Have a day of blessings!

It is such a pretty day here!  The sun is shining and the sky is blue.    

This week as we begin April I am thankful for...

~ my husband being so helpful and doing whatever he can to help me plan things in the coming weeks.  

~ I'm so proud of my big boy and how he continues to work on and invest in the non-profit he started.  It's not "show season" right now but he's still working on things for the coming year.  It makes me proud to see him working on this even though he's busy with work too now.

~ my little guy making us laugh with the honest things he says.

~ a beautiful Easter service.

~ getting a massage!  It was so nice and I scheduled another one. This is not something I do typically, but I thought it would be beneficial with all I have happening this month.

~ that one month from today is the wedding for our son and his fiancee! The time is going quickly! I also appreciate the people who have offered to help out.

Have a day of blessings!

It's almost the end of April and Easter is nearly here!  

This week I am thankful for...

~ my husband learning new things as he experiments with making things with freshly milled flour.  He did these one night when I took Titus to baseball practice.

~ hugs from my big boy. 

~ being able to go to the 3rd grade field trip with my little guy and watching them learn and have fun.

~ the sun being out some this week and feeling the warmth of it.  I noticed it when I was at the field trip.

~ trying on my dress for the wedding and finding some shoes I liked.

~ that I had a day Wednesday to be home and work on things here without anywhere I had to be during the day.

Have a day of blessings!

The weeks just go so quickly for me it seems!

I'm thankful for...

~ my husband filling up my gas and turning my van around for me so I had less turning my neck to do....I have a tight muscle (or pinched nerve?) and it hurts more when I'm driving.  That helped not to have to back out and turn so much today!

~ laughing when I heard my big boy's ring tone in my meeting.  It's set to ring even if it's on "do not disturb."  He called back three times, I texted him I was in the meeting.  He thought the call wasn't going through so he was calling back.  Nothing was wrong, he was looking for food at home!

~ being able to see my little guy at school present about one of the leadership jobs.  He's on the flag team and got to talk about that today during the leadership event.

~  my Mom had her birthday this week and we got to eat supper and cake with her.

~ being safe in the rain.  It was fun to walk in the rain for a few seconds but then it got pretty cold.  I didn't want to run because I don't really run anyway (LOL) and I had on sandals and figured I'd fall.  I laughed when I got in my van tsoaked and cold.  Titus got in my van after school and I could tell he'd been wet too.  They'd gone out to try to get the flags down before it started raining and he'd gotten wet.

~ being able to go to the ladies Bible study this week after missing a week due to a meeting and then spring break the following week.

Have a day of blessings!

This week I am thankful for...

~ helping my big boy get his lunch stuff out before he heads out the door for work.

~ enjoying time with my little guy out of school this week!

~ seeing my tulips starting to bloom.  

~ visiting family over the weekend to celebrate our niece's 1st birthday.

Have a day of blessings!

It's a rainy Thursday here the first week of March.

What is on your thankful list?

I am thankful for...

~ my husband trying new recipes with the freshly milled flour and how he's gotten really good at the blueberry muffins.  I love to see him try something new and enjoy it so much!

~ when I get a text from my big boy.

~ the sweet things my little guy says, like one day he said "You've been working all day."  It had been a busy day and I'd done a lot of things, it was sweet he noticed.

~ the sweet friends at church who had a lovely shower for my son and his soon to be bride.  It was so nice and also special to see family and friends.

~ using time at baseball practice to write the cards I send and also coloring!  

~ wonderful rain!

Have a day of blessings!
