"Nothing Short of Thankful"

(by The Avett Brothers)



Today I am incredibly grateful for...

426. Healthy new babies
427. A new kindred spirit in the OM community {if we have to deal with stupid cancer, I'm glad to be going through it with people like Mandy!}
428. Finding out that I'm on Mandy's list, too! :)
429. A sweet & unexpected gift from my Tuesday girls!
430. Running into people I know almost every time I go to Kroger :)
431. The smell of apples & cinnamon baking in my oven
432. The sound of Cody growling at Pepper :D
433. A cute handmade gift that one of my Wednesday girls made for the entire class
434. Happy tears
435. Being content with what I have
436. A message from a bloggy friend that I seriously want to print out & frame! ♥
437. Lunch w/Laura at Sandy McGees
438. Celebrating the end of my baby brother's Bible study course {with cheesecake!}
439. Cody placing in two of his Science Olympiad events
440. A "just because" gift from my friend

442. Catching up with some scrapbook friends I haven't seen since the Spring
443. Rejoicing with our friends as they celebrate the impending arrival of their baby girl!
444. Good food & conversation at Jorge's birthday party
445. Getting to play with three cute boys in the nursery ~ one of whom usually cries, but he didn't yesterday. I'd like to think it's because of me! ;)
446. Baby girl arriving safely home from a youth retreat
447. Living close enough to ride my bike to &/or from home group
448. Singing the national anthem with my boy {He had to learn it for school, & we were singing it at the top of our lungs while snuggling on the couch last night! Sometimes our house is like a musical, & I love it! :D}
449. Only one more day of school this week!
450. This season of thankfulness {oh, that we would all continue it beyond Thanksgiving!}

What are you grateful for today?
