*the wisteria blooming in the dog yard. I love this flower which is considered a weed. This little tree was planted 8 years ago and this is the first spring that it's bloomed. They flowers don't last long, so I'm really thankful that I didn't miss them.
*the dogs - who can always make me laugh and smile - even when they are being goobers.
*the ability to take vacations to see The Princess graduate, see how happy she is, meet her employers and spent time with her Boy and his parents.
*meeting friends, having dinner and chatting for hours. Spending time catching up and it feeling like it's been weeks since we last got together and not years.
*the Internet and blogs in particular. Meeting new friends online and in person. Coincidentally being in the same place at the same time - miles from our homes.
*the ability to make just the right curtains. No matter how painful the project was. Knowing that it's perfect is worth a lot.
-- So, would you share a bit of your thankful list with me today? g
Yep - I'm there with you. Lately I have been doing ALOT of the "poor me" ot seems like but then I take a step or two back - take a good hard look at my life, really do some thinking amd realize (for the hundredth time or more) that it ain't really as bad as I make it out to be. Great post!
