This week, I'm borrowing an idea from a friend, and I'm listing things I've been thankful for throughout the week. Taking time to write these things down really reminds me of how blessed I am. I highly recommend it! Here's my list:
Sunday: I'm thankful that Krista gets to go to Camp Oliver for free this year and that she made it to the Boys and Girls Club on time for the bus ride (that's not always easy to do in our family). And I'm thankful for the wonderful mother-daughter time I had with Leah going to the mall and watching a movie. She's an awesome kid!
Monday: I'm thankful for my amazingly-talented daughter, who is selflessly designing a wedding invitation for a friend of mine that she doesn't even know! With her already busy, stressful life, this is so sweet!
Tuesday: I'm thankful for my job that allows me to work at home, and this week I even got to have my weekly team meeting over the phone. With the price of regular unleaded gas at $4.40, that's really a blessing!
Wednesday: I'm thankful for my new Aqua-bot that keeps our pool clean enough even for me to take a dip mid-day. With the pine needles that drop continuously from our neighbor's trees, our pool used to just be too gross for me. But this thing is AMAZING! So amazing, in fact, that we canceled our bi-weekly cleaning service, saving us $65 a month!
Thursday: I'm thankful that my mom got a good report from her doctor after taking a stress test because of concerns about her heart. No problems detected! She has had so many health problems in her life, so this was good news indeed.
Friday: I'm thankful that Krista is coming home today! We have missed her terribly, and I can't wait to hear all about her week in her I-can't-get-all-the-words-out-fast-enough way.
Saturday: Even though Saturday isn't here yet, I'm looking forward to tomorrow, when I'll be thankful for the San Diego free shade tree program, which allows each household 10 free 15-gallon shade trees! We are going to the mandatory 2-hour class in the morning, and we will order our trees!
I am definitely blessed!

This is a really good practice. we should do more of this!
yes mom, thanks for doing these tgif and blessing lists and all that. I always love reading them and I really should try to do it too. Maybe I'll make that my goal for next week. :)
Debby, sometimes I forget how well you tell a story. I just spent time reading through all your posts and imagined you telling each story. We MUST get together soon...seriously.
okay i just read the Krista story from a few posts ago and I thought it was great. SOOOO Funny! I seriously felt like I was there. I could just picture it all, JM is right you are so good at telling stories :)
I can just see you laughing at the last two comments, mom :)
