Good Morning!

This blog is kind of frivolous, and hopefully upbeat and inoffensive. Every now and then, it takes a serious turn, but for the most part I like to keep it light- I know the personal avenue works for a lot of bloggers, but I'm not one of them.
Like anyone else, life has its challenges, but instead of dwelling on them I've really tried to keep a running mental list of what I'm grateful for:
1. that the days are finally, finally getting longer.
2. that the water damage that happened over a year ago to our kitchen ceiling is a thing of the past.
3. that I have really good snow tires because this year I've needed them.
4. that I love the colour we painted our bedroom.
5. that I have a wonderful book club whom I sincerely enjoy spending time with!
6. that we always have food in the cupboard and lots to choose from.
7. that even though gas prices are rising, I can always fill the tank.
8. that my mom is off on a big trip with friends - Bon Voyage, Mom!
9. that my husband works so hard and is always looking for a way forward.
10. that we have a PVR and I can PVR the Kardashians (yes, I'm that shallow, people; sorry!)
11. that the vacation we booked so long ago is getting that much closer.
13. that my daughters are being raised in a world where nothing will hold them back.
14.That today is Thursday, my favourite day of the week!
15. That you guys stop by here to hear what I have to say - thank you!
Enjoy your Thursday!
Sing it, sister! My top four are #7, 9, 11 and 13. Any reminder of all things to be grateful for is well received here. Have a fantastic Thursday.

AMEN, K.T........praise be to numbers 1, 3, 7, 9, & 14. I'm grateful for my husband, as the past 12 yr. he's been by my side thru surgeries & (parents) deaths. He helped me see another side of the 'fence, besides mine'! I could go on, but won't, about marriage. I'm thankful I have friends, like K.T. that blog & show us there're other things in life to think about! Have a great w'end, blogger fiendss, & K.T......(dog paw hugs!)

I am grateful to have a second mother who I can count on no matter what! You're always there for me in the lowest and highest of times. Also, that you gave birth to my best friends almost nineteen years ago, LOLZ, and if not I wouldn't have met two people who have influenced me the most. Happy Thursday, See you soon. :)
