Thankful Thursday

Happy Thursday! I hope everyone is having a good week so far?? We are almost to Friday!!! Yippee!

I am joining in with Rebecca Jo at Knit By God's Hand for her...


This week I am definitely thankful first and foremost for my God. My faith has made the news of my work site shutdown bearable.  I know, whatever happens, I will be okay and for that I am truly thankful!

Also I am very, very thankful for my family and friends (real life and bloggy)! You guys have all been so sweet and supportive and I cannot imagine what I would do if I did not have this blog for support!!! Thank you!!!

Now, onto the more material things...HA! I am also thankful that my aunt sent me a gift card for Old Navy for Christmas!! Between the sales and discounts; I got a ton of great stuff with $25!!! (This is not a paid endorsement; I shopped with my own money and Old Navy has not contacted me in any way - although it would be okay with me if they do now!!! HA!)  Here is my haul...

These two adorable dresses! (Right now it is $9.95) The material is flowy, loose and so comfortable for work and play!!! I bought XL and they are perfect!

This adorable workout shirt!!! (it is $7.97 now) XL also!

And finally this workout bra...and, again, XL! HA
Serious deals for $25 total right?!?! I love Old Navy!!! Check it out...their sales are awesome!

I am also thankful that I allowed myself to splurge. I did not get myself anything for Christmas this year and I really wanted one of these robot vacuums since I did my floors so I bought myself one! It is awesome!!! I love it so much and it is great with the cat hair under dressers and beds!!! The cats enjoy following it around also! HA!

I am also thankful for this adorable medal rack my little sister made for me! God blessed me with strong bones the first half of my life so I got all the running in I could! I completed many 5K's, 10K's, half marathons and one full marathon! I am grateful that I was able to accomplish this and now I have this rack to see all my hard work. With the psoriatic arthritis I can no longer run but I am okay with that at 50! HA!

I am thankful when I find these adorable little notes in my purse! My niece hid this in my hand sanitizer bag and I found it the other day! How sweet!!!!! I love those kids!!!

And finally, I am so very thankful that someone at work told me about these delicious drinks called LaCroix! I think you can get them everywhere but I got mine at Target.  They are great when you want something fizzy and light! They have the greatest flavors (Passion Punch and Tangerine are my favorites) and they are 0 calories and 0 sodium!!! YUM!!


That's it for me today!! Again, thank you all for being so wonderful and kind - you will some of the first to know any update on my job situation when I know something.

Hugs to you all!!!

What are you thankful for? Every tried LaCroix? Do you have a robot?

  4. Those seltzer waters are what broke my Diet Coke habit - love them for the fizz.
    I have those dresses too - I buy every single swing dress Old Navy brings out. They are so comfy all year long - wear with sandals in the warm weather - put leggings on in the winter.
    I am with you - I dont know how people get through tough times or life changes without leaning & trusting in God.

  9. I also love the La Croix drinks. I am not crazy about Old Navy as two pairs of jeans we bought their began to tear and shred in days and we are not cowboys.

    1. I’m sorry to hear that but I guess I now know not to buy their jeans. That’s terrible! Their dresses last forever… They wash so well too! The drinks are really awesome!

    1. It was a tough decision figuring out which one to buy… There are so many with such great reviews it was hard to find the one that was best. I like mine a lot but he gets stuck a lot ha ha! I probably wouldn’t run it when I’m not home because if I wasn’t here to rescue it it could be forever LOL!

  11. Sorry to hear about your job. I have a robot vac and yes, it is great for getting under furniture. Mine gets stuck too.
