I am thankful...

1. Beauty. The beauty of the world around me: the flowers, the grass, the clouds, the lives of my children, in people.
2. Knowledge. I am grateful for the things that I learn each and every day.
3. Wisdom. I gain this on a daily basis. The ability to use the knowledge I have and share it with others.
4. Inspiration. Sometimes I just need to be better at heeding the promptings.
5. Courage. I believe that courage can be defined in many ways. The definition I tend to like is, Courage is the ability to follow through on a worthy decision when the emotion of that decision is gone.
6. Cheerful Kids. What more can I say?
7. Stove Cleaner. When I have a volcano of Peach Jam exploding over and cooking on the burners I am grateful for the cleaner that makes it easier to clean up.
8. Shark Steam Mop. The canning is done and now I can clean the kitchen floor. I love my Shark Steam Mop.
9. Time to rest. I have been non-stop for the last few weeks - going to bed late & getting up early. Today I tool about 10 minutes to sit and relax. It was nice!
10. Completion of projects. Today I completed my fourth day of canning. I am glad to be done!! I also feel a great sense of accomplishment. Lexi actually said today,"Mom you are so clever." When I asked her about why she said this she said that I could make so many things out of the fruit. It was a cute moment!
