thankful thursdays 9/3

Sep 3, 2009

I am starting a new blogging habit I am entitling Thankful Thursdays where each week I will share the things I am thankful for. This will help me to
1. remember
2. embrace
3. be humble.

* I was able to restart cello lessons today with my fabulous teacher and friend, Jennifer.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* I was able to get the oil changed in the suburban.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* I was able to walk home from the repair shop on my own two legs AND have a few minutes to think with only the birds making noise in the background.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* I was able to walk back to the repair shop with Fisher riding his bike alongside me, squealing with joy and telling me how big he is to ride so far.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* I was able to spend this evening having such a wonderful discussion on The Lord of the Rings with dear friends both old and new.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* Blythe found $100, yes, $100!!!!!!!! while she was mowing the lawn today. Turns out Richard lost it 6 weeks ago. It was tithing money. Amazing, isn’t it!
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* My delightful gymnastics assistant is going to stick with her job with me!!
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* Gymnastics starts tomorrow morning. I get to spend time teaching about 70 homeschooled children how to trust their bodies, grow muscles, and gain courage every Friday for the next nine months.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* I got to see my friend Amy today.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* I was able to do the dishes with Fisher and Annesley while we sang “How Firm a Foundation” at the top of our lungs.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* I was offered a sports bra for $2. I think I will stock up!
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* Right this second, my husband is vacuuming out the suburban so it can be somewhat clean for us.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* My husband paid me a huge compliment and said I was like Gandalf. I, predictably, spit water all over the floor in front of our colloquia group when I realized what he said!
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* I was able to do 4 batches of laundry today.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* I will start getting dinner three times a week brought in by several friends to trade for gymnastics. Woo-hoo!
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* I am reading D & C 88: – it is a treasure trove!
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* I was able to eat a wide variety of yummy food brought to our book discussion. The seven-layer dip with cilantro was scrumptious. I could have eaten the whole pan!
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* In the next few days I will get to help two babies be born.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* My friend, Jennifer, brings me milk fresh from the goat that my children LOVE.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* I have some moosetracks in my freezer.
——————————————————————————————————————————–

See how blessed I am – it is amazing once I put it all down on paper screen!

    What a great list! It made me realize how I am thankful that I get to be your friend. You are such an amazing and wonderful person!

      My quick response is to say how blessed I am to know YOU! But I guess I will go with the thought that we are lucky to have each other and have two girls that love each other to pieces!
