Live2Ride Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I need to stay positive today...I had a rough day yesterday... I am thankful for homemade carrot cake with sticky cinnamony cream cheese frosting! I'm eating a small piece right now...it's #2 :tongue_smilie: I am thankful for scriptures and a loving Heavenly Father. And a hubby that loves me and knows me so well. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftymama Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I am thankful my kids are healthy and happy (at least mostly happy). I am thankful we live in a nice house without issues. I am thankful I do not have to get up and go somewhere to work everyday. I am thankful for chocolate milk! I am thankful for the sunshine outside.

Live2Ride Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Oh the sunshine...how I miss thee! It's another dreary rainy day. I wish music was rescheduled. I don't want to be out in this yuck. Though on a note of thanks, I am thankful for free crochet patterns! I am working on a Luna Lovegood scarf in pretty khaki colored sock yarn. I'd prefer it in another color, but I'm being good and using up some stash that I have. Plus this color is actually really nice and neutral.

In the Rain Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) I'm thankful for striped drinking straws. My morning iced coffee is much tastier through a straw. (It's the little things that count, right? ;)) Of course I'm thankful for my kids and husband too.

elegantlion Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Thanks, I was about to post something similar. I need some uplifting. I am thankful for my ds, the boy who dislikes reading. He read two 3-in-1 mangas in 3 days. This is one of the few times he's given me his own money to buy a book. I am grateful for the Irasshai Japanese videos and books. Silly as it sounds, this is one subject ds and I learn together and it's fun. I am grateful for the 10.00 shelf I bought at a thrift store last week. It's the perfect style to go above my stove, I painted it to match the cabinets, and dh hung it this weekend. It add the atmosphere I needed, my kitchen is/has an Alice in Wonderland theme.

They saw I was really struggling and sent me flowers yesterday and a beautiful card. My husband, who is just the voice of reason when I'm hurting. I'm thankful that I am not turning out to parent the way my parents did..no emotional blackmail to get what one wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Marple Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'm thankful that my sons and my future dil made it back to college OK this weekend. I never seem to get over worrying about them on the drive back. Future dil has been a fixture in our family for about 6 years. She's as precious to me as my sons.

Chris in VA Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Ds came by last night. We are thankful he is alive, did not seem to be high, and had a place to sleep (friend's house). He is thinking about his life, at least. I am so thankful for my Monday prayer group. Those ladies are amazing, and their faith helps me.

meggie Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 There are so many I ought to say, but for now the most important is antibiotics. Digby was so miserable last night, he only slept three hours. At least I know the antibiotics will get rid of the nasty strep. He's really really bad off right now.

Denisemomof4 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 My brother's birthday because I made him a delicious chocolate raspberry tart. I just had a piece for breakfast. (we divided it evenly because he is watching his weight and sugars. Iy is low sugar but. SO GOOD.) Wicked Joes organic coffee. French roast. :svengo: Coffee + tart = PURE HEAVEN. Thankful that tart is gone now.:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live2Ride Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 I am reading these posts through the day. I am sending up prayers and hugs to those that could use them. I may not 'understand' what some of you are having to deal with in your life, but I can say that I will pray that it will get better for you. I am thankful that my kids are doing their school work quietly. :tongue_smilie: I am thankful again for carrot cake...for that tiny munchie piece that fell off the piece I was cutting for my son...honest, it did fall off! Yep I'm a bad mom today, I served cake for breakfast, but hey, it's got carrots and nuts and eggs and applesauce and dairy and grains and oil ...sooooo it qualifies for all the food groups huh!? I guess I'm not so bad afterall! :lol: I'm thankful for a pup that loves me like no other...she's a good foot warmer. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinRTX Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I am thankful that I just got a cal from my third child! She and the rest of the family have been really struggling with relationship issues. She is in her first year of college and had somewhat cut the family out of her life. But she just called excitedly with a report of her grades and said she misses us all. I also thank to be walking -- I just spent 6 weeks on crutches with a broken ankle.

A few things have come up over the last couple of week's and I've been repeatedly thankful for what they do. I'm also thankful we have 2 cars. We've been down to 1 car for the last few days and I can't wait to get the other one fixed! It should be up and running by Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
