#238 – said it before and I’ll say it again – my son’s doctor’s office is awesome! Needed an appointment one day, called when they opened, got us in a 1:o0 the same day, got some great samples, chatted about our families (because I’ve come to know her as more than just our doctor) and was out the door before I knew it! Great service, great staff, great place!
#239 – Happy 236th birthday USMC! I am grateful for each and every Marine, active or retired, who has sacrificed so much for our country!
#240 – Happy Veteran’s Day! I am grateful for every military man and woman who gave so much of themselves for me, my family and our nation. God bless all of them!
#241- grateful for my church choir! I focus so much attention on our pastors and their message, I often take the wonderful praise music for granted. It’s time I said thank you to the folks that get me up and moving for God!
#242- My daughter IS listening! She shared about the thank you notes she wrote to a friend and her mother and I am so grateful for the polite and thoughtful young lady she is!
#243 – Ate at our fave restaurant Adobe Cafe (twice) and made a huge mess, but was never treated with anything less than kindness! Love that place and their waitstaff.
#244 – thankful for the ‘rents again. You know that saying, “it takes a village to raise a child”? It’s certainly true for my kids! I could NOT do it without the help of my Mom and Dad who run all of them to and fro when I can’t play bus driver!
#245 – Thankful for my sweet SIL who offered to help watch my kids for a quick errand that turned into a 3 hour ordeal! so glad she’s part of my “village” too! She’s amazing!
#236 – sharing my creative self with others isn’t always an easy thing for me to do, but I have been fortunate enough to cross paths with a super cool person who believes in what I’m making and gave me a tremendous opportunity last week. I am so grateful for her support and feel blessed to have made such a kind and generous new friend!
#237- TMI alert! I am one of those Twilight fanatics. (I’ll wait while you roll your eyes) anyhoo- I was supposed to go to the midnight showing of the new Breaking Dawn movie with a friend last Thursday, but decided sort of last minute that I’m too old to be galavanting around town that late at night and flaked out on her. Since she’s such an awesome friend, she still loves me and I appreciate the great friend that she is!!
#238- long story, but let’s just say this, 1. My mom cracks me up and 2. She’s my biggest cheerleader. I’m so grateful to have her support!
#239 – Can you pronounce this word: Weihnactsmarkt? Yea, neither can most people. It’s the HUGE annual Christmassy crafty sale in our town that showcases so many hand made and local vendors! Since I’m ‘all about” the handmade movement, I am so thankful for this event!
@240- Our town lights up for Christmas each year and it’s become our family tradition to head down for the lighting ceremony.
I had been watching the utility workers stringing lights all week prior to the ceremony and wondered if they had ever been thanked for this service to our community. I know what a pain in the you-know-what it is to string lights on my own home and Christmas tree and these guys were working on trees in cherry pickers! Thought I’d drop them a line to tell them that I appreciate their hard work to make our down town so darn pretty!
#241 – I met such an inspiring person this past Saturday. She shared about her career and her life’s dream of giving back to families of wounded soldiers. I hope to get in touch with her and write to some of these families for the sacrifices they have made for their service person and ultimately for our country. I’m also writing her to thank her for sharing her vision and in turn inspiring me!!
