Thankful Thursday.

Thankful Thursdays

It's Maundy Thursday and it's Thankful Thursday. Wow! Bonus Thursday, huh?

First I'll share some random gratitude for the week and then you share, okay?
People, it's a team effort. I need you! It will be glorious.

For those new to blogging and blog reading: To leave a comment, you just scroll down to the end of the post and click on the underlined word "comment." After that it shouldn't be too tricky. You can leave the comment anonymously or you can sign your name. No pressure. But I sure would love to see your thankfulness list this holy week! You can share 1 or 2 or 10 or more random parts of life you are thankful for this week.

This week, I am thankful for:

-Laughing with friends while watching the movie "A Mighty Wind"
-Calm in the midst of a very full holy week
-Writing opportunities
-New friends: virtual and non-virtual (what's the opposite of virtual? physical?)
-Hard-boiled eggs
-Easter egg hunts
-Water
-A new wellness plan
-Fashion blogs
-Sermon inspiration
-Kindness
-Challenging questions
-Opportunities to learn new skills
-Emails
-Text messages (oh how I DOOOOO love to text)
-A random call from a dear friend
-The always-unique book of Genesis
-2 days until my mom and brother arrive!
-Clean pillowcases
-Dreams
-Possibility
-Podcasts

And now, it is your turn to share.
I can ALMOST promise, you'll feel better after you do this exercise.
I was feeling like a mini-Grinch 10 minutes ago, and now, much better.
