I've been thinking about being thankful today too (as I posted about Canadian Thanksgiving) and loved reading this. Great post!

I try to be thankful every day, so easy to get caught up and put it on the back burner. You have a lovely family - your daughter looks just like you!! xo

You have a lovely family and such a great attitude.

Wow, 66 days till Christmas!! I love Spring as well, although the weather has been a bit strange lately. The quote at the end is such a great reminder of the importance to be thankful. (Gorgeous family too!)

Thanks for a great five minutes of my day. Especially liked the lovely family picture. I am so thankful today that a dear friend will be getting married next month.

Beth said...

Thanks for that little reminder to stop for 5 minutes and be thankful. I have now made myself a cuppa after you first image, just a pity that I can't get my hands on some Ben and Jerrys!

I love your family picture. What a nice looking bunch!! Your son looks like you and your daughter looks like your hubby. Enjoy your week.

Karen said...

We have a 'count your blessings' noticeboard in our home and we all write things on it that we are thankful for. It always makes me happy to read it. And I am thankful that you are my bloggy friend too! God bless x

When I don't know what to do or how to deal with something - I make a cup of tea so I can stop, think, and get myself through it. Although on a Friday afternoon - a champers seems to help!
Cheers Kylie

Thank you!!! and I truly mean it. THANK YOU!!! You are such an inspiration! I try really hard every day to remember and show gratitude for all that I am given - but yesterday was one of those "pity" days where I was feeling I had nothing... When I woke this morning, I decided I needed to think about my THANKFUL things list, the blessings that I have every day (one being that I can get up by myself and walk from my bed, unlike my hubby some days... and I should be thankful because I can do that so that I can help him get out of bed...) I need to ACT upon my THANKFUL thoughts more frequently! So, thank you for reminding me - I'm going to do just that.... BLESS YOU!

Beverly said...

The first thing I do when I wake each morning is thank God for the day.

Thank you for sharing your joy.♥
