Thankful Thursday

I'm not sure I'll do these theme days each week but I figured I'll give it a try and see how I like it.
Thankful Thursday seems like a good one to me. It's so easy to get overwhelmed by life and not have a very thankful attitude. Guilty more often than I'd like to admit. A post about what I'm thankful for seems like a great way to focus on the positive. I'll probably switch it up sometimes, but today I'm way behind on things that I really SHOULD be doing so I'm going to do a quick bullet point list. 10 things. And GO!
  1. Thankful for my hardworking husband who shows me daily how much he loves me.
  2. Thankful for two healthy and happy children that I have the privilege of spending my days with.
  3. Thankful for a warm home to live in. (seems cliché but due to some neighbor issues and more repairs than we have the time or money for, I find myself not being as thankful as I should for it.)
  4. Thankful that aside from a mortgage we are debt free. When I start to worry about finances I have to remind myself that we're not in terrible shape. We aren't drowning in debt, we're just on a tight budget. I'm ok with that.
  5. Thankful for an energetic two year old that can tell when I'm not in a great mood and immediately starts doing funny things to make me laugh.
  6. Thankful for the piles of unfolded laundry that were making me groan earlier...it means we have nice clothes to wear.
  7. Thankful for a sink full of dishes that I didn't get to last night because I was too busy doing more important things, like snuggling my 4 month old. We are fed and clothed. The dishes and laundry will get done, just not always as soon as I'd like to do them.
  8. Thankful for a hot, uninterrupted shower this morning. The uninterrupted part is the big part. Ha.
  9. Thankful for another warm, sunny day. Soon it will be too cold to play outside very often and I'm glad we can take advantage now.
  10. Thankful for some really amazing friends...you know the kind that are there no matter what? The ones that don't judge? Yeah, those are the kind I have now and I don't take that for granted. :)
What are YOU thankful for this Thursday?
