Season of Thankfulness - Day 6

Today I am thankful for two healthy, youthful grandmothers.

I have always been close to both of my grandmothers. Up until I moved to Lynchburg, I lived within 5 minutes of one and within 15 minutes of the other. Being 500 miles away from them (and all of my family) has been hard but it makes the times that I do get to see them really special. That's why I am super excited that right now - at this very [early!] moment - I am on a plane to Nashville to surprise one of them! Today is Grandmother (I also have a Mama Katie)’s 80th birthday; my aunt is throwing her a surprise birthday party tonight. I can’t wait to see her face when she sees me!

Today I am thankful for a husband who is intelligent and motivated.

As of last night my husband is a Certified Personal Trainer. (Even though he complained about my lack of enthusiasm) I'm really proud of him.

He is also a Reverend and I coordinate weddings (okay, okay so I just coordinated my first one in September - but it was definitely a success!) so we've talked about marketing ourselves as a package. Well now, not only can we coordinate and officiate your wedding, but we can get you in shape for it too!

Today I am thankful for laughter in stressful times.

Its a really busy time for us at work this week (and next week. Oh yeah, and the week after that.). We have 1000 women coming this weekend. YIKES. Ooops I meant YEA! Even though there is a lot to be accomlished, I am thankful for a few of my coworkers who don't take things to seriously and with whom I am able to laugh.

Today I am thankful for a warm home!

Even though it was 59 degrees when I woke up (because someone likes to turn the heat off in the middle of the night), all I had to do was flip a switch and it warmed up again. My heart hearts for those who are homeless, especially in these cold fall/winter months!

Today I am thankful for health and healing!

Over the last three years I have dealt with some health issues. Nothing that caused me any physical symptons but some internal female stuff. I've had several painful procedures done and even had to have surgery to remove part of my cervix last August. Not a fun experience, let me tell you. Yesterday I got a call from my doctor's office telling me that my last round of tests came back normal. Normal! Thank you, Jesus!

Season of Thankfulness - Day 1

This morning in my pastor's wife's Facebook status she challenged herself (and anyone else that wanted to participate) to post one thing she was thankful for each day until Thanksgiving. What a fun idea!

Today I am thankful for an extra hour of sleep.

When I woke up this morning, I was sure that I had overslept (a regular occurance for me) because it was so bright outside. When I finally worked up the courage to look at the clock I discovered that it was actually six minutes before my alarm was supposed to go off. And I wasn't even tired or groggy! How nice to be able to be able to do things (take a shower, fix breakfast, get myself ready, watch a little Today Show, do a little prep work for tonight's dinner and exchange morning pleasantries with my husband) at a nice leisurely pace instead of rushing, RUSHING, rushing.

Halloween 1990s Style

I love these pictures (circa 1990) of us with our siblings. (And I love that both my sister and his brother wore the same costume that year!) He wanted to be Superman and I wanted to be a bride. Sounds about right...

I hope you and your family have a very Happy and safe Halloween!
