Thankful Thursday – Post 14

Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough. – Mother Theresa

I am thankful … for opportunities to learn, for what I can do and for what I have.

I am thankful … that my body is cooperating and half-marathon training is going well. (This thanks sounds like a broken record, but rarely a day goes by that I’m not thankful that my body is doing as well as it is)

I am thankful … that I attended an Inter-religious Dialogue on a cold night last week when I felt like staying home. Very informational.

I am thankful … that I hit send. My memoir is again in the hands of the talented Alice Sullivan. She reviewed it a few months ago, then I cried/edited/cursed/edited/rewrote/prayed/edited and sent it back again. Now I will forget about it (ha!) until she sends her second review.

I am thankful … for everything I have! Home, food and a comfortable recliner. A group of friends and I feed the men at Hope Rescue Mission last night. Every time I do this, I am reminded of how much I have.

Kathy (on far right) was always serving … her hand is blurry in each picture I took. Way to go Kathy! And Janelle, Bev, Shelly and (not pictured) Kim, Beverly, Jerry, Terry, Marks, teens and kids.

Your turn to finish this sentence, I am thankful for …

    I needed this “be thankful” perspective today amidst all the doors that are opening and not knowing which to walk through. I think it’s AMAZING how you’re doing with marathon training and the memoir. Rock on girl!

    I am thankful for my Facebook/Twitter friends (most that I have never met!) that each day, unknowingly, bring me a smile or chuckle or a moment of introspection.

      Agree with you … I’m so thankful the online world. And then also thankful that from time to time I meet some of them in real life … you running any local races this spring?

        The Frozen Foot 5K series is going right now in E-town. This Sunday is the 2nd in the series. The 3rd one is March 20th. They don’t start until 2pm so come on out if you are feeling up to a little road trip!
        Bob and I are also signed up for the 4-mile, Run4Luck in Lancaster on March 12th and the Sauder Egg 5-mile run on April 23rd. Both will be new races to us so it’s exciting to try different distance races. I hope we’ll catch up at one of these!
