Thankful Thursday
I have no idea who started Thankful Thursday but it’s something that’s been going around the blogosphere for a while now. In light of *waves arms around at everything,* it seems like a good time for some gratitude. The only thing we really have control over is our mindset and thinking about what’s good, what we’re grateful for, helps.
I’ll go first. And please share what you’re grateful for in the comments.
AIR CONDITIONING. I have never tolerated heat well. And this summer, my goodness, it’s been sweltering. Air conditioning is my best friend these days. I am truly grateful. (Side note: Stay safe in the heat.)
Good friends. Every day I am thankful for the friends I have. Those who listen to long rants about foolishness, the people I can text stupid memes to, those who become angry on my behalf when someone has been unkind to me, and those who make me laugh. My friends are a balm and treasure.
Health — mine and my family’s. Yes, we have our stuff, but overall, everyone is well enough to function right now and that is a gift.
All the dogs. Humans don’t deserve dogs but I’m glad we have them.
For enough. It’s been many years since I bounced a check or dug for change in the crevices of my car to pay for gas. It’s a privilege and I’m thankful.
How about you? What are you thankful for, big or small?
xo,
Beth
