Grateful Thursday



Any day is a great day to think about all the awesome things God has done for me :-)


  • That I woke up this morning. Sounds lame and generic, but I would rather this than the alternative ;-) I have another day to do something great! To work hard and dream big. A new day means holds so many wonderful things.
  • My husband. Might be self-explanatory to most of you, but he is a definite gift from God. He has helped me grow and better myself. Loving our adventure together! Each day brings new things that make me love him more.
  • My childhood. There's always good and bad things about growing up, no matter ones experiences. My life is no exception. Growing up on a farm gave me so many wonderful adventures. It's definitely in my top 5 best places to raise kids.
  • Mistakes. Mistakes are an unfortunate part of life. They can make or break a person. I haven't liked making mistakes, but for the most part, they have made me who I am today.
  • Friends. Those people who have stuck by me through everything. Those who have pushed me away for no good reason - despite the hurt, they've helped me grow stronger. Friends are necessary for a fun and happy life. I thank God for each one of mine.
  • Family. The people that mean the most to me. Some aren't even blood related, but they are closer than mere friends. Now that I am married my family circle has grown immensely. One thing I've noticed is with some families, my chosen one included, it's like you were always there. The love and acceptance is overwhelming...it's wonderfully overwhelming!
  • Rain storms. As a farmer you either hate them or you love them. When I have the time to enjoy them, they are extremely relaxing. Curl up with a hot cup of tea and a good book, or let the soothing lullaby sing me to sleep. Oh, and don't even get me started on thunderstorms! ;-)



Ok, enough for now. (I need something for further posts and anyway, 7 is a perfect number, right? ;-)
