Today I am joining the adorable Rebecca Jo at Knit By God's Hand for Thankful Thursday. If you want to join in (you should ...gratitude will make the whole day better) please visit her and link up with others who are sharing today!
This week I am thankful for...
****A huge group of family and friends that care about me and love me! When everyone heard the news of my employment site shutdown; I was bombarded with calls and texts (and messages from bloggers) from family and friends worried about me! What a blessing they and YOU are!!! I have no doubt that I will be fine in end and it will be exactly where I am supposed to be.
****On that same note...Grateful that my company did not just say "we are closing; here are your pink slips". They are doing the site closure slowly, over a few months to give us time to find jobs if we don't want to relocate or are not offered a position at a new location.
****That winter has been calm so far! It's cold but I can deal with that. I heard a lot in September and October that we were supposed to have a horrible winter with a ton of snow...so far, that has not been the case and I am so happy for that...now that I have typed this we will get pounded in Pittsburgh (sorry for jinxing us fellow Pitts-burgers!!) HA!
****Stealing from Stacy at My Cup is Full - A Million Little Things comes back tonight! And...on that note...I am so happy that new episodes are back from all my favorite shows!! I love Manifest, This is Us and just about every sitcoms there is (I need to find laughter in this crazy world!!)
****Very thankful that God has blessed me with a beautiful network of wonderful people, especially Rebecca Jo, that remind me everyday to find things to be thankful and grateful for!
I hope you all have a wonderful week and a huge list of things to be thankful for!!!! What is on your list this week? Anyone else obsessed with a new TV show? Have you jinxed anyone lately?!?!
Loved reading the list of things you are grateful for. Just reading about others' gratitude is a big emotional boost. Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laurie! This is why I am so happy that Rebecca Jo hosts this each week! I totally agree and it also forces me to focus on the positive rather than focusing on the negative!! Hugs to you!
DeleteI guess I know where we all will be at 9:00 tonight! Ha! A great list this week and I'm ignoring your jinx, because every single time they give a forecast of snow for Pittsburgh it's always followed by "with more in the eastern ridges." Guess who is in the eastern ridges? Have a great day, Ann!
ReplyDeleteOH no Stacy!!! Well...here's hoping you have a lovely snow free evening filled with Million Little Things!! HA! Can't wait for tonight! Thanks for letting me steal your answer!!! :-)
DeleteA LOVEEEEE A million little things... I cant wait for it to come back on!!!!
ReplyDeleteDoesnt it just make chaotic times feel more manageable when you're surrounded by support? That's just the best!
It truly is the best Rebecca Jo!!! Stacy is also an avid watcher...can't wait to see what we all thought after tonight - I am SOOO hooked! I have loved Eddie (David Giuntoni) since he was on Grimm!
DeleteI'm happy to hear that you have a few months before they close. I'm happy to have my shows back too and I watch the same ones you listed! Thank you for stopping over and giving me your thoughts about getting a new doctor and how happy you are that you found someone you like. I see him again on the 11th of February and I will definitely make a decision soon. I've only seen him twice. Not sure if it is him or the office staff but he's going to hear from me on this. Have a great rest of the week and weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you Debby - I hope it gets easier for you! It was amazing the difference when I was forced to get a new doctor - I wished the old one had closed earlier now...I had NO IDEA what I was missing! I am not supposed to have any stress either - now I don't at all. Hugs!
DeleteYou are blessed when you have friends - good luck getting a new job!
ReplyDeleteAw thank you Carol! I appreciate the kind works so very much! Have a great night and thanks for stopping by!
DeleteSo wonderful that you can find the silver lining, and even be thankful at a time when you find out you might be losing your job. I wish good things for you, and rest assured, everything will work out exactly as it is supposed to! Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jill!! I appreciate your kind words so much more than you know!!! I am well trained in "act as if" and everything works out! HA! Have a great night! Hugs! :-)
DeleteI am thankfully that I am almost back to normal health wise. Been a tough 2 weeks.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite show just came back - I'm Sorry. LOVE that show.
Grace and Frankie begins season 5 tomorrow on Netflix and I don't have enough adjectives for how much I like that show!
I too watch Manifest and a Million little things. I just hope they don't drag out this John stuff. I lose interest when they carry on about this for 2 years. Let me see what's in that note to Delilah and why she is losing the house. And that rat secretary :-)
I KNOW!!! Tonight better reveal a lot...but if so, there will no doubt be even better twists thrown in! It is sooo great so far! I am so glad that you are on the up side of the mend..feeling crappy is horrible!!! Have a great evening Margaret!!!

ReplyDeleteJulie xo
Thank you Julie!! The idea belongs totally to Rebecca Jo...it is a great reminder every week for me though!! Have a great week!!!
DeleteWhat a great list of thank yous. Hope you find another job soon and I really appreciate the attitude you have about trusting you'll get what you're supposed to have. Sometimes it can be so hard to trust, but I know God is in control and it's all in His hands.
ReplyDeleteIt truly is all in his hands Cathy! Thanks for stopping by - I hope you have a fantastic week!!! Hugs
DeleteA wonderful list Ann! Enjoy the snow ;-) I want snow and we are not in the path of the storm. Boo Boo!
ReplyDeleteDid you end up getting our snow...it took a different path and we hardly got nay snow!! Maybe you got mine! HA! Have a great week Carla!
