Thankful Thursday!

It's been awhile since I stopped to take note of the things I'm grateful for. Since October 12th, 2009 my world has been shaken. However, I still have many reasons to be thankful.

1. I'm thankful my brother Gary's physical suffering has ended.

2. I'm thankful Kim invited me to hear her beautiful talk on Sunday about Gratitude!

3. I'm thankful the following day Tiffany invited me over for a day of crafts. Tiff and I made a day of it, lunch, crafts, dinner and Home Depot!

4. I'm thankful our basement flooded because now we're getting a new floor, new painted walls and our basement won't smell like a Motel 6 anymore!

5. I'm thankful for Stephanie's phone call this week-for her genuine concern.

6. I'm thankful for the colors of the leaves all around our neighborhood!!

7. I'm thankful for the support from Tara, Travis and Treavor at Dad's fabulous Eagle Court. And, I 'm thankful for Tiffany, Tristen and Telisa who would have loved to be there if they could.

8. I'm thankful Adam and Tristen had a much needed vacation which they loved! Tristen even snorkeled!

9. I'm thankful for the cooler weather so I can wear my cozy UGG boots!

10. I'm thankful Travis spent four hours at my house fixing my Hard Drives!

11. I'm thankful the Bell family let me take their family picture, invited Den and I over for dinner and spent time visiting with us.

12. I'm thankful for our trip to St. George for Thanksgiving!!!

13. I'm thankful when Tara does my hair so we can just hang out!! What service! She feeds me and let's me cry a little.

14. I'm thankful Telisa is recovering from her Swine Flu! I'm grateful Tara is all recovered and wish all the Van Leeuwen's here in Utah a speedy recovery!

15. I'm thankful I have so many reasons to feel thankful!

I'm so very thankful for my favorite best Aunt Kathy/Grandma Kat. FYI I was in Bed Bath and Beyond and got the same red stainless steel water bottle that you have and Jack said, "Whose is that? That is Grandma Kat's mommy you need to give it back to her. We should go take it to her right now. I just love her som much mommy. Can we go and see her right now?" I so wish. I will be there sooner rather than later. I miss you all so much it hurts! xo

So sweet!! What a great thing to do! You are such a great example to us all. Those are wonderful things to be thankful for. #16 I am thankful for a mother who is always giving to others unselfishly and will always be there when her children need her.
