Thankful Thursdays

Our senior pastor's wife, who is also a friend of mine and the most dedicated blogger I know (Linn), has decreed Thursdays to be thankful on her blog...I love this idea! I was at the gym working out today, and as I lifted weights I couldn't help overhearing a conversation between a man and a woman...the gist of which was complaints about politics and the demonstrations people will put on for those they support. You know, signs in their yards, bumper stickers, waiving signs on street corners...now, I do understand that this kind of thing can get annoying. BUT we live in a country where we have the freedom to choose for ourselves who we will vote for and to express those choices...and that's something to be thankful for! So, with a nod of thanks to Linn, I am also adopting Thankful Thursdays here on my blog.

1). I am thankful that I live in a country where there is the freedom to participate in our government.
2.) I am thankful that I can express those choices without fear.
3.)I am thankful for my goofy husband, and his ability to ALWAYS make me laugh.
4.) I am thankful for the women who work at the kid care in the rec center, and how they love my son.
5.) I am thakful for my amazingly snuggly bed (which I don't want to get out of on cold mornings!)
6.) I am thankful for my hands-that they work so well to make gifts for friends, take care of my family, write out my thoughts, pick up my son, hug my husband....
7.)I am thankful for this wonderful new laptop that enables me to blog!
8.)I am thankful for all the leaders who help theWELL to exsist.
9.) I am thankful for the beautiful boquet of flowers that sits in my living room and the love and thoughtfulness it demonstrates.
10.)I am thankful that I live in a state with SEASONS!
