Thankful Thursday

I am going to attempt to join in Thankful Thursday. Here's the first post.

  1. Family. They keep me on my toes. They never cease to amaze me either. They never doubt me even when I doubt myself. They support me no matter what and aren't afraid to tell me what they think.
  2. Friends who love me for who I am even though I say stupid more than I like to admit. I am really trying to learn how to keep my mouth shut though.
  3. That my house isn't on fire. There are SO many wildfires burning right now just a few miles away. Luckily there haven't been too many houses lost considering the size of them and how quickly they are spreading.
  4. This family. They are probably the neatest people I know. I am truly blessed to have your in my life.
  5. That we have a storm shelter/cellar. I don't imagine needing it but its there if we need it and that's comforting to me.
  6. That Spring has finally arrived. I LOVE SPRING even though it means we are in the heart of tornado season. I love all the colors and smells. I love being able to open the windows to get the fresh air inside too.
  7. The dogs. They make me smile and laugh everyday. They are always happy to see me too. And to think that just over 2 years ago I HATED dogs. My how our views change.
  8. Our Military. They may not agree with everything and I may not either but they are out there serving their country and keeping us safe. I truly appreciate the sacrifices they make everyday to keep our country free.
  9. The Library. It may not be the best but it sure saves me LOTS of money.
  10. Thrift Stores. I LOVE THEM. I find the neatest things like a brand new digital weight scale and Turkey's Halloween Costume and a new lunch box for Turkey all for $18. SWEET!!!

So, what are you thankful for?

That is an awesome list. We have 2 families from our church evacuated and one of them is from a neighborhood that was on fire.

I am very thankful that we aren't in that mess.

Thank goodness for fire fighters.
