Thankful Thursday

Thankful Thursday

23 Jan

 

 

Happy Thursday!

 

We’ve been staying home more often this week because the temperatures have been so very cold. I don’t mind winter at all, and excuses to drink more coffee, wear super-long flannel nightgowns, and turn on the electric fireplace are perfectly fine with me! I try more crock-pot recipes in the winter, and I actually make bread in the colder months. I tried a new honey oat bread recipe yesterday, and it received rave reviews. There’s just something about the smell of baking bread…mmm!

 

So here’s what else I’m thankful for this week:

  • office equipment that can be pretty-fied

  • a husband who is willing to go to the store on slick roads because we ran out of toilet paper
  • girls who now know how to do their own laundry
  • this goofy cat

  • a somewhat laid-back school week
  • writing opportunities that stretch me
  • all the excitement being generated about the start of the HelloMornings Winter Challenge
  • being able to capture this moment in time

  • a renewed dream with a redesigned website to go with it (would you like to see?!)

I hope you can find things, large and small to be thankful for today. And, if you’ve written a gratitude post, please link it up and spend some time visiting others!

    I love everything about this post! I have tea cups that look just like that. It really made me smile to see it on your printer like that! Love it. πŸ™‚ We are owned by cats, too, lol, and your husband is a gem! The pic of your daughter is priceless– so glad you were able to capture it. I will check out your links. You have me curious. πŸ™‚ Hope you have a great weekend, friend. Much love and prayers, Lisa

      She was so funny when I was taking her picture–she was trying to act natural, but she was having a hard time not laughing! And I agree, my husband is a true gem! πŸ™‚

    I love excuses to drink more coffee, especially in a pretty cup and saucer:)

      Exactly! Although, if it’s after noon, I have to switch to decaf or I’m awake all night.

      Ooh…hot chocolate with peppermint sounds really good. The peppermint mocha at Starbucks is always one of my favorites.

    Coffee always a must! Love your For the Love of Words and am very interested. I am working on a small e-booklet study guide for Catholics called School of Mary. I do need someone who can take a look see when it’s finished. It’s my 3 in 30 goal and I am 3/5 done but still have a bit to go. I hope to have it done by Feb 1st and will contact you for proofreading on the sight when ready. Are you comfortable with editing Catholic Catechist type content?
