I've been seeing a couple bloggie friends out there posting what they're thankful for on Thursdays. And with the amount that I've been up and down, and up and down lately I figured that I better stop and write about what I'm thankful for too.
So this week..
I'm Thankful - that even though it's rather chilly in my house, I have a roof over my head and warm clothes to wear.
I'm Thankful - for my blogging, that it gives me opportunities to do things with my family that I would otherwise not do. 4 tickets tonight to see Disney on Ice. My youngest is so excited!
I'm Thankful - for my family knowing that I LOVE my $2 Starbucks drinks(coffee and tea only, no $5 lattes unless it's a freebie reward drink) and gifting me Starbucks cards on holidays/birthday. I appreciate that my drivethru drinks are almost always 'free'.
I'm Thankful - for the awesome Londonmom that gifted me 2 bags of clothing. She could have just donated to Goodwill, but she took the time to ask if anyone wanted them first. They fit me wonderfully, and I wore some great stuff this week.
I'm Thankful - for my part time job. I hard a hard time remembering that last week, but so many don't have jobs..and I've been there..so I am thankful.
I'm Thankful - that my girls are going on a sleepover to gramas friday night. I could really use a re-connect/date night with the mr. (which then makes me thankful for the gift coupon for the 'movie night out'..it includes admissions AND snacks! another awesome gift from family!)
And lastly..Thank you so much Joy for reminding me to participate in #ThankfulThursday. You're an awesome friend.

I love that you did this post today! It's important to stop and remind yourself that we all have so much to be thankful for! And I'm thankful for you, too!!
That is a great idea. And I am thankful too for having a voice and for being able to go to Disney tomorrow. Yay!
I love this post! Its so important to sit down and list the things were are thankful for, especially when life has us down! I am thankful for you my friend. Like I said our movie nights are the highlight of my week ;)
I find being thankful is something we sometimes forget during our busy days and it is always something good think about at least once a day.
Looks like you have a lot to be thankful for!!!
Great list Christy! Sounds like some really great things to be thankful for!
Yes being thankful for a warm house is important especially this week!
oooohhhh date night coming up! sounds awesome! and how nice that someone passed on some great clothes! I wish I knew someone my size to do that! Sometimes the teenager next door gets some of my stuff but most of my clothes would not be 'cool' enough for a teen. lol it's just some skirts for her to wear to church lol
Love this idea. Love the post, love reading what you are thankful for and thinking about my own life. So many things to be thankful for, but sometimes we need a reminder :)
I am SOOO glad you dropped by to link up! (And these are fabulous thankfuls!) My thankful post today was a bit non-traditional, but we should be back to "normal" next week. :)
I really like this idea. Puts it into perspective.
