Things I stop and say "Thank You" for almost every single day

1. My scrumptious NASA invented, molding foam, thermarest, whatever bed!
2. My cute little sporty blue car.... with a sunroof..:)
3. The sun...I can't get enough of it...I think I'm sun deficient....
4. My Hubby...he's just amazing!
5. The sky...I am almost daily awed and moved to thankfulness by either the endless blue, the fluffy clouds, the blackness with pinpoints of stars or the deep rolling grey clouds...especially the stars at night....
6. My children...Jeff, Bek, James, & Kate...I am so blessed! and so proud!
7 The Lord...thankful to the Lord, for Himself... :)
8. The flowers I drive by each morning on my way to work..they take my breath...
9. My Jada...Oh God! She is so wonderful!
10. The way the curtains and linens smell with the windows open all day....yum!
11. The wind...I close my eyes and feel His touch
12. My back yard....my peaceful refuge...
13. Sweet tea.
14. You, my blog friends...its true...

....and I had absolutely no difficulty coming up with this list...

Is there something you say thanks for almost every day?

Oh--we have one of those beds too and I am thankful for a good night's rest!

I'm thankful for more than enough food to eat. (maybe I should stop being so thankful for that...then God would bless me with less and I might lose weight...)

I'm thankful for my family.

I'm thankful for all of God's creation (except maybe the mosquitoes).

I'm thankful that Olivia starts preschool tomorrow morning and I will have several blocks of time in my week that I haven't had since she was born over four years ago! I pray I use the time wisely!

Thankful to live in the USA, thankful most for the price paid on the cross, ... my hubby, his job that has kept me as a sahm for 24 years. My list is long, so I'll stop here. :)

Just to be given another day - whatever it may look like and for whomever I am given for the day. The people I cherish the most and those I may only know in passing. To take a picture, play with my babies or have a coke with a friend. It is all abut being in the moment and making it the best moment of your life...

Let me see now. . .
Each day thankful:
for the DAWN. . .the singing of birds. . .that there's a cafe out there waiting for me. . .and FRIENDS. . .that there's a MYSTERY to be unravelled, maybe more that day. . .that there's ALWAYS someone or something to look forward to, and that THIS is all just a shadow. What's the REAL thing like. . .when we see Him face to face.

Tell me about your bed. I have been considering the investment into a Tempurpedic, but they are so pricey. Is that the brand you have? Would you mind telling me size, price, do you all have back issues, how much has it helped. . .

I am thankful for His forgiveness
His grace to help me walk right
My husband and family
My talent so I can work and support us
My friends
My bicycle and much much more!
