thursdays come around just when i need them to… it’s always a good day to be thankful.
1. i’m thankful for my crockpot. i found a few recipes on pinterest that lead me to this website and it has truly changed our lives. i spent a few hours on saturday grocery shopping and prepping and now i have 30 meals in my freezer waiting to be cooked. the only downfall is that these recipes are made for families so David and I eat the same thing for 3 days in a row… i try to dress it up and change the sides around… but on the upside, it saves me tons of time and tons of money. I’ll have to share a post about it in the future.
2. i am thankful for penelope. she brings me so much joy. she has been so needy lately. she paws at my legs until i pick her up so i’ve been putting her in a sling and doing my daily chores with her in tow. i had to take a facetime call this morning and she was looking up at me while i was talking and i could just hear her saying, “gosh mommy you’re so cool, why don’t you work from home everyday, then we could hang out all the time.” if only she knew, i felt the same way.
3. i am thankful for my home. it truly is my sanctuary and fixing it up makes me so happy. david and the dudes are still working on laying hte floor outside, next on the list of things to do is put up our picture frames in the living room, and pull some major weeds in the middle section of the yard.
4. i am thankful for new ideas. writing in this blog has sparked a little creative bug in me.
5. i am ever so thankful for my husband. i say it every week and i never plan on not being thankful for him, or my family. i don’t know what i’d do without them.
6. babies… babies… babies… born and unborn and babies to come! there are very few things i love more than watching life at its earliest stages. i am surrounded by so many pregnant women and women who have recently given birth and i just love it.
7. i’m thankful for my dad’s random posts on my facebook wall. he knows me very well and he posts things just when i need to hear them the most. he was also the first person to share my blog 🙂
8. i’m thankful for people who allow me to just be me. i went over to one of my best friend’s house in pajamas on monday evening and she welcomed me just as if i was royalty. i ate her danishes and she just let me hang out. how cool is that?
9. yoga- we’ve started free yoga classes at the centers that i work at and it’s open to patients, caregivers and really anyone. i’ve been participating and it has been such a great experience for me.
10. i am thankful for grace.
tell me what you’re thankful for, join me each week! i sure would love to hear it!
