Feeling Gratitude.....

Today as I sit here looking through e-mails and such I feel enormous gratitude. I have so many things to be thankful for. I am so blessed. Therefore, I would like my blog to now reflect how grateful I am for my many, many blessings. Little things happen to me EVERY DAY that are actually HUGE blessings in my life. More than just the very obvious (like my darling children). So......I have decided that from this point on I will always list at LEAST one thing that I am thankful for on each and every blog entry! TODAY I can think of more than one.....

  • I am thankful for my Husband, who is such a hard worker. He is currently mowing our lawn in the dark because it is 9:15 at night!
  • I am thankful for whoever it was that rented out our vacant house today.
  • I am thankful for Ellie's cute friend who had a birthday party this morning. Ellie talked about it all day and carried around her little "goodies" from the party everywhere she went.
  • I am thankful for Andy Perkins. He is our faithful A/C guy who came out and fixed the A/C unit at one of our rental properties today for only $60! GO ANDY! (I thought it was going to be hundreds).
  • I am thankful for Kyle and Isaac's baseball coaches! They spend a ton of their own valuable time teaching my boys to LOVE baseball.
  • I am thankful for my friends. Especially the ones who come visit me while sitting in the hospital and bring me treats!
  • I am thankful for my sisters. I love talking to them on the phone. They are sooooo funny! They always make me smile and inspire me to be better. I love hanging out with them. I have the bestest sisters.

To be continued..............................
(on each and every post from here on out!)

Oh, I love that idea of listing at least one thing you are thankful for with you post. I am so thankful for having a great friend who enjoys working out as much as me and can be counted on every morning even if your super tired and got no sleep. ;-)
