Thankful Thursday

My good buddy, Normie at the The Mommy Project had a great idea to make today Thankful Thursday. She has it on good authority that regularly writing down what you're grateful for can increase your level of happiness by 25%. Sounds like a good deal to me. Where do I sign up? Hmm maybe we can convince the Mommy Project to host Thankful Thursday every week. She'd be a great hostess and I'm not just saying that because of all the lovely things she had to say about me.

So without further ado here's my five.

1. I'm thankful for today. A day spent in peaceful harmony with Maya. I spend so much of my time battling with her that it really was a gift to just be able to take care of her all day.

2. My bed. I cannot wait to crawl into it. How is doing nothing all day so exhausting?

3. Grandma Linda, who listened to me vent tonight.

4. For my musically inclined little girl. I could listen to Abby sing all day.

5. The exciting opportunities that have been offered to me.

And I am grateful for my friends. All of them. Yes that means you Heather. And you too Tracy.

What are you thankful for?

I'm thankful knowing that this horrible cold I have won't hang around forever...

Valarie - that's a good thing to be thankful for. I hope everyone is on the mend soon.

Leah - colds are nasty. Get well soon!
