Thankful For :: 531 - 540 {One Year of Thankfulness}

You know what I just realized? I totally missed the one year anniversary of when I started the Friday Thankfulness posts! Yep, the very first post that I did was on Friday, August 20, 2010. That year flew by! If you want to read the first ten things that made my list, then by all means, check it out HERE. If you'd like to see what made the list the second week (one year ago today), then you can find it HERE.

This week I'm thankful for...

531. One year (and one week) of recognizing God's hand of blessing on my life

532. Seeing friends join me on the weekly thankfulness journey (Beth, Erika, Kaysi)

533. A patient husband who cares for me when I'm an emotional mess

534. Not having to work on Sunday after all

535. Spending the entire day with Peter - hanging out, making plans and lists, eating #536

536. Fruit tarts and mini key lime pies (they didn't last long enough for a photo!)

537. Four days at work, which means extra $ to help reach our goals

538. A reminder that each and every day is a day that the Lord has made - I can choose to rejoice

539. Hints of fall - like the leaves of our cherry tree turning yellow

540. Wearing pearls on a Monday for no reason at all (Peter gave them to me 8 years ago for my b-day)

What are YOU thankful for this week?

C.S. Lewis once said, “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." Dream BIG. After going "there and back again," The Hubs & I have created a home that is full of books, stimulating conversation, and the laughter of our five kids. We have been the recipients of Amazing Grace, and our life goals can be summed up in four words: Love God, love people.

I'm thankful for extra shifts this week too!
{even though that's meant less time to catch up on my bloggy friend's lives}

LG - we're trying, but we still stumble from time to time. Thanks for the encouragement though!

Kaysi - S-W-EET!! :-)

Molly - And I miss hearing from you, but I totally understand being busy!! BTW, your job looks WAY more fun! Who else gets to ride a little car thing around when work gets slow?! ;-)
