30 days of Thankfulness: day 28


Today I'm thankful for a productive morning getting housework done, a boyfriend willing to explain math problems during his last little bit of time before heading back to college, enjoying an afternoon together, a beautiful blue-white speckled sky, and getting back into Irish step!!! Ach, how I missed that! Or maybe I should say....ache XD Although I'm not as sore as I thought I might be :~)

30 days of Thankfulness: day 27


Today I am thankful for a day with John and his family, having dinner with my family at his house with his, spending time with his sister, playing card games and a board game, laughing with and at one another, finishing the 2nd part of a Star Trek episode, heading home to decorate the tree with my family, and finding a snowman to be John's ornament on the tree to hang next to mine! Can you guess who is who? 😉😊

Today I am thankful for a day off, perusing the antique stores with Mom, smuggling presents into the house undetected, a boyfriend willing to babysit, meeting new friends, running into old ones, seeing a chandelier and wondering if the Phantom is near, the beautiful Christmas tree lighting in the city, and ending the night with a smile!

30 days of Thankfulness: day 24

Happy Thanksgiving! Today I'm thankful for a Savior whose birth we celebrate in just a few weeks. Some people don't like to celebrate Christmas until after Thanksgiving, but I do, for this reason: what better way to herald the birth of our Lord than to start of with praise and thanksgiving! 😊 Today and the days leading up to Christmas, I encourage you to enter the season with a thankful heart, because God chose to send his Son to be our Savior! Happy Thanksgiving, and in a way, Merry Merry Christmas!
