Thankful Thursday – Post 17

Sometimes we complicate life more than we would need to. I’m leaning more and more towards a simplistic lifestyle. This goes hand-in-hand with being thankful. By simplifying I appreciate what I have more … which in turn makes me more thankful … which makes me need less stuff … which makes me more thankful … it’s a fulfilling cycle.

I am thankful …

For real life friends.

For time spent with four other couples at the beach …

celebrating 25 years of marriage for each of us.

.

For online friends.

That I can connect with others around the country

and even around the world through social media.

(no I don’t think it’s ruining the world)

For blogs to read … love the friendships and the education I gain.

There’s too many to list, but some of my favorites are

Courtney, Rachel, Randy, Seth, Mandy.

(I will post a few each Thursday)

To realize that I am not alone when I’m scared of Christians sometimes.

.

For my sons.

Had some good conversations and fun moments with them recently.

.

For bodies that heal!

This week I ran my fastest 3 miles since I’ve been hurt.

And I stretched farther and longer in yoga this week than last week.

.

Pause, breathe, be aware … now what are you thankful for?
