Happy World Gratitude Day

 

gratitude definition

Happy World Gratitude Day! I can honestly say I had no idea this was a day until reading my Better Homes & Garden for September.  But I feel like it is a great idea.  There is a lot of benefits to having a gratitude list and listing what we are thankful for. It helps us to realize how much we actually do have to be thankful and grateful for even when things are not going our way.  Somethings I am thankful for- my faith, my family & friends, health, food, shelter, technology, my job, pancake & willow, rainbows, fresh baked cookies, the weekend, stars in the sky, christmas trees, lazy days, Target, the beach, the mountains, birthdays, flip flops, hot bubble baths… I could go on!

What are you thankful for?

Thankful Thursdays [7.31.14]

Thankful Thursdays

Happy Thursday!  Today I am blogging from my mom’s house in Tennessee.  I am thankful that I have a wonderful family and am able to visit and spend time with them.  I am also thankful I have a job where I normally work out of the house in Texas but when I come back to Tennessee then I just switch and go into the office.  :)

Thankful Thursdays [6.26.14]

Thankful Thursdays

So no pictures for today’s Thankful Thursday but today I am so thankful for wonderful people who are willing to help others out.  Long story short last Thursday I began having a horrible tooth ache.  Now, I am used to dental pain, it seems like I always have it, but this was something I had not experienced.  It felt like it could be sinus so I really had no idea.  Normally with tooth pain if I take some ibuprofen the pain will eventually subside.  Nothing helped this tooth.  So I started treating it as sinus- nothing!  Pain was constant etc. Come Saturday I couldn’t eat because the tooth would hit another tooth and it would hurt.  I received an emergency prescription that we drove 45 minutes to the nearest 24 hour pharmacy.  That pain medicine did not help!  Anyway. long story short after church on Sunday a dentist at the church actually pulled the tooth.  Praise the Lord!  Now I am still in pain from that and it hurts to chew but the pain is nothing like it was.  Basically she saved me from pulling it out with pliers.  This was a tooth in the very back of my mouth that I have been told I needed pulled before, then another dentist told me to save it etc.  Anyway, now it is gone.  So I made that story much longer than it needed to be but I am SO thankful for people willing to help others, especially on the weekend!!

Last week I decided I was going to make a conscious effort to be more thankful (see this post) and I am happy to say I am continuing on this week and posting what I am thankful for.  I’d love for you to join me!  Let me know in the comments what you are thankful for or if you make your own post!

I went to Oregon for a wedding last weekend.  It was a state I had never been to (yay!) and it was absolutely beautiful.  Also, it was a nice change from the warm, hot weather of south Texas.  I am thankful for the opportunity to travel.
