thankful for today (28 to 50)

On a person's post on Facebook, they wrote:  What if all you had today was what you thanked God for yesterday.  That made me think.  I "THINK" I am a thankful person - but I also know that I take alot for granted.  Perhaps we all do - I don't know.  I just know that often I walk through each day - dawn to dusk and almost walk through oblivious of all that I have!  SO today ... on the eve of Thanksgiving - I am thankful for:  (I left off at number 27 last post)

  • cold pillows that I snuggle close during the night!  
  • a warm sweet man laying beside me, I am so thankful for my husband!
  • the colors of the sky just prior to the sunrise
  • dew on the windshield (soon it will be frost)
  • early morning coffee with friends
  • a great lecture at Weight Watchers (I needed the encouragement)
  • smiling faces
  • the purchase of some amazing artwork (Faye Hall is so talented!)
  • a stopover at my kids house in the middle of the day
  • a big kiss from my grandson
  • hearing him say "Nanny"
  • seeing the joy in my daughter's eyes as I take a peek at her first cooked TURKEY!!
  • donating blood at the clinic
  • hugs from co-workers
  • being able to pray for people with needs/concerns
  • a clean house
  • campfires and starry nights
  • sunsetting and beautiful pink and purple sky
  • visiting with extended family (it has been too long)
  • laughing about old times
  • being able to cut my husbands hair
  • almost ready to hop into bed, beside my sweet man, and with my cold pillow!  Great combo!
  • a chance meeting with my sweet friend Jo.  (and that makes 50)
