Thankful Thursday–The Ordinary Edition

Thankful Thursday

13 Mar


It’s been a pretty normal, ordinary, not-much-exciting-happening kind of week. Nice to have those every so often! In fact, I’m thankful for that kind of week right now.

I’m also thankful for:

Fun critters who brave the cold to entertain us

 
I’m also grateful for:

  • Friends and family who are praying for our upcoming move
  • The opportunity my oldest has to be a part of a YouTube channel just for homeschoolers! Thank you to Theresa and her daughter for coming up with the fun idea.
  • A fun birthday party we got to attend that included manicures and pedicures
  • Editing opportunities
  • Connections with bloggers who know way more than I do about…everything to do with blogging!
  • The chance to read others’ thankful lists–it’s so encouraging each week to hear about the blessings

I hope you can find things, large and small, to be thankful for today. And if you’ve written a gratitude or thankful post, please link it up below. Be sure to link back here somewhere in your post, and take a few minutes to visit others.

    Simple things are so nice!! It is hard to focus on them at times too. Thanks for the reminder to just slow down.

    Take care!

      You’re so right–it is difficult to focus on the little blessings, especially when we’re overwhelmed by the big stuff that’s going on! I hope you can have an enjoyable, restful weekend.

      You know I will! Although most of it is melted off now. I’m enjoying the fact that it’s still cold–I think God knew I’d miss winter next year, so he’s giving me extra this year. ๐Ÿ™‚
