Learning to be grateful...

I'm finding myself lacking in the thankfulness department lately. Here's some random things I'm thankful for:


  • Having friends who think your cards are good enough to want to give as gifts. Thanks Sue!

  • A oral surgeon who prayed with us before we had Kate's wisdom teeth extracted. What an unusual but awesome thing for a doctor to do.

  • Listening to that prayer and knowing that everything was in God's Hands.

  • Being able to prepare the Thanksgiving meal for this year with only one or two minor melt downs from the chef.

  • Friends visiting from Alabama! Wishing they were here to stay but understanding that they have to go back.

  • Diet Pepsi

  • Ikea

  • A husband willing to go to Prairie Gardens to look for Decor with me.

  • The anticipation of getting out my ornament collection. I can hardly stand it.

  • Christmas music--any of it really, but I heart the old stuff the best--Andy Williams anyone?

  • 2 great bosses.

  • Our Sunday School group--what a great bunch of friends!

  • Family

  • Books

  • Great authors who keep writing books that I want to read.

  • Robin's Egg Blue

  • Being able to take a day off from work to go hang out with my best friend next week. I can't wait.

  • Weight Watchers

  • Land's End chinos--best pants ever!

  • Cable knit turtleneck sweaters.

  • Middle School Basketball

  • That Zach's arms are healed from his fall from the tree. No therapy needed! Woohoo!

  • Guadalajar's regular margaritas on ice.

  • My pets

  • Fluffly comforters

  • Peach pie

  • Mom Huggins' vegetable soup

  • Good jobs

  • My forever house

  • My kids--their hardwork @ school and their levelheadedness with their friends.

  • My wedding china

Just a few random things that are making me happy right now and that I am thankful for.
