All month long Todd and I have been sharing each night at dinner what we are thankful for. It has been pretty sweet to hear some of the things he is thankful for, and has made me stop and appreciate the smaller things in life. For the most part, this task was not hard, but at times when nothing stood 'out' I realized how I take my easy, cushioned life for granted. I was then humbled to be appreciative for the life I am living and to be JOYful for what I do have (even if it might not appear to be all that exciting).
1 - Thankful for a husband who protects me.
2 - Thankful for power outages that allow Dad/daughter dates
3 - Thankful for my cousin Alyssa! Happy Birthday! celebrating with breakfast after church.
4 - Thankful for a husband who knows how to change car lightbulbs; that are dead as a doorbell!
