I am joining in with Rebecca Jo on her blog for Thankful Thursday!!!
I love this as it makes me really think about and appreciate what I am grateful and thankful for. Sometimes I get caught up in what is wrong in my life rather than all the gifts!!!
I love this quote...
I am really thankful for my recovery. It seems like daily I heart about someone that has passed away as a direct result of addiction...whether by the addiction itself or their own hand to end their suffering. It is such a horrible thing and it affects SO many people! UGH. Prayers to all those still suffering. I pray that I continue to be that person that is available when THEY reach out for help.
I am thankful for my family! After reflecting yesterday on National Sibling Day (see Terri's blog) I realize that there is no one to has my back like my family! I am truly blessed!!!!
I am thankful for vacations! I have a vacation to Aruba in TWO DAYS!!! I cannot wait to leave! Work is really stressful and depressing with the closing of our site looming so it is so nice to escape for a few days and just not think about it AT ALL!!! I promise to post and share the fun with you all!
I am thankful for modern technology! I love my condo and I have it so techie-ed out now (is that even a word?!?!?) HA! I will do a post on Friday about all the cool stuff I have added to make it feel like the Jetsons!!!!!!
I am thankful that Spring has sprung in Pittsburgh!!! It changes everything to see sunshine and daylight!!! YAY!!! Here is the beautiful tree that is outside my bedroom window! I am thankful it is there since it is also a blessing to look out and see this thing in all it's splendor! I love this tree!!!!
I hope everyone has a fantastic Thursday and finds many, many things to be thankful for!!!
What are you thankful for? Do you count your blessings daily?
Love your attitude, Ann.
