 ~ I'm very thankful my Hubstir is feeling better after being the sickest I've seen him.

~ I'm thankful to have both Ellery and Khloe back a couple days a week, still unable to lift with my left arm 

   but they are an important part in my healing! 

~ Thankful for our beautiful warm weather, 80's at the beach this coming weekend. Still praying for more

     rain that we so desperately need.....

   

  ~ For bulbs that are blooming in my yard.  Love the fact they just hide out for the winter only to remind

      us they never really left us!

     

~Thankful for guests to our home. This week my eldest sister, brother in law and Cookie their dog came for 

   night in order to adopt another dog.  A friend of mine mentioned on Facebook she had a dog in need 

   of a family as his elder owners could no longer care for him. Deanna, Mickey and Cookie met up with the

   possible new member of the family.  Happy to say Cookie now has a companion, Arnold!

~ Thankful for my cousin Linda and her husband Pat who are coming down Saturday and staying until 

    Sunday. Never have enough time with the two of them, just so excited to see them!

The practice of being thankful is so important.

When things seem at their worst, there is still much to be thankful for.

It may take some quiet moments to see them, but they are there.

You will find you can increase your own happiness just by practicing

thankfulness ~

Hoping you will  look for things to be thankful for on Thankful Thursday and every other day!

It's what echos from my heart today.
