Thankful on Thursday

It's so easy to sit back and complain.
To see the glass half empty instead of half full.
To fall into the victim mentality.


Today I challenge you to find things you are thankful for
And to declare them to the world.


What do you have to celebrate?
Can we celebrate it with you?

Today, I'm thankful for:


Having a job in this economy
Having a roof over my head
Having 2 beautiful children
Having 2 healthy children even though Lydia has autism
Having a great husband
Having a non-rainy day
Having a good brain on my shoulder which allows me to make right decisions
Having friends and family who I care about
Having a healthy body and continues to be healthy as long as I eat right and exercise


There are a lot more that I'm thankful for but I think this is a good list to start.

Lucky break Karla!
I'd be thankful too.
That check engine light scares me to death.
All I hear is "ching, ching, ching" money going right out the door!


Thanks for taking a look.

lol-well mine is also 5 years old and I consider that "newer" since my other vehicle is a 1996 mini van.

He's usually so good & knows no wee'ing unless it's outside & even then he's not too fussed with marking the whole garden, but obviously now that the paper was where he was allowed to wee on it & upright so looking like a fat pole or tree & he couldn't resist it...
I am just checking in quickly before I go & impersonate a log.

Thankful for ...


Even if I tried to bike to the post office this morning and did not make it, I am
able to walk back carrying my bike for 43 minutes.


My family... my swhusband had to look at the bike and fix it somehow. My child doing his best in school.


My garden even though it is not picturesque like a magazine, it is colorful.


Hugs getting me hooked onto hulahooping. Now I am experimenting on my own.


Our new paved streets looking nice.


Many more, etc.....

Wow Aileen - you are a superwoman!
Carrying the bike that long must have been tiring.
I'll bet you are glad you have been doing your upper body workouts!


You have many things to be thankful for,
I'm glad you shared them with us :)
