Another working day for me around here but I didn’t want to skip posting my Thankful Thursday. Trying to squeeze it in between getting ready, starting dinner (crock pot day), and heading out to work. I know if I say I’ll post after work, it likely won’t happen.
And I happen to have plans to get together with some friends tonight. Something, I’m very much looking forward to doing. So, it only makes sense to start by saying how thankful I am for my old (not that we’re old!) mom’s club friends! That’s how we all met and we continue to be friends that get together at least once a month. A wonderful support system I don’t think I could do without.
A glimpse of a beautiful sunrise (although my picture taking timing was off) on Tuesday. And even though it’s cloudy and cold today, I’m so very thankful to see no snow on the ground! We might see flurries but that’s it. Whew!
Thankful for all the creatures I get to enjoy (and sometimes scold, this squirrel is behaving, however, and not eating my birdseed) as I look out my windows. And of course, I’m happy that it is finally spring.
So, I can watch all the new life unfolding inside (apparently Monstera plants are not that hard to grow. If I can keep one going, I bet anyone can) and out.
Speaking of out, I’m thankful for a job that requires me to spend part of my time outdoors soaking up the sunlight or steeling myself against the elements of wind and cold depending on the day. No matter the weather, it is so refreshing for the soul to spend a few minutes outdoors.
And finally, since I’m trying to keep this short, I’m thankful for my job where I get to have the best conversations about “ballerina class” and taco bell for dinner, cats with heart shaped faces, and upcoming birthdays. If I kept up with my birthday party invitations, I’d have a super full social calendar indeed!
Before I End My Post
I’m also thankful my crocus bloomed this year. Wanted to share one last photo as the flowers are fading fast. Soon to be replaced with new flower blooms as warmer seasons arrive.
And as always, I’m thankful for my family and that we have our basic needs met and then some.
What things are you thankful for today?
Lovely post Jean, it’s always good to stop and give thanks. I’m intrigue by your job, you’ve probably mentioned it before… sorry I can’t remember. Take care, Cathy x
Thank you! I work as a substitute at a preschool. Some weeks like last week and this one, I’m quite busy with it but other weeks not so much. I enjoy the variety of the schedule and of course, I love the kids. Glad to see you back on-line. Hope you enjoyed your week and weekend.
Your photos are always beautiful, my friend. I hope you are enjoying your time with friends. And we had Taco Bell tonight!
Thank you. I like Taco Bell every once in a while and the Baja blast is my absolute favorite drink when I do go there. Hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend! We’ve finally got some decent weather so I’ve been off-line and outside (where I’m going shortly after catching up on here) working in the yard quite a bit. Happy new week!
