Do we really take the time we should to reflect on the things that we are thankful for? I know I don't, so on Thursdays, I am going to reflect on the things in my life that I should appreciate more.
I am thankful that I have a 15 year old son that is willing to go out for brunch with his Mom.
I am thankful for Hallie who is passionate about making the world a better place. She is raising money and awareness about organ donation in honor of her Dad who received a donor heart. Consider donating to this amazing woman's cause as she attempts to raise $5,000! You could win a nifty prize too. You can donate here.
I am thankful that I had a good night's sleep last night. That doesn't always happen.
I am thankful that I have tomorrow off because our office is closed. I love 3 day weekends.
I am thankful that the forecast for tomorrow includes "partly sunny". I have missed my friend, Mr. Sun, greatly over these past several weeks and I hope we can persuade him to stay around for a little while.
I am thankful that my son's work permit came in this week. Now he just has to get on the schedule!!
I am thankful that I was able to attend my karate class this week. I really do enjoy it which is as big a surprise to me as it is to everyone else!
I am thankful that I have found someone to go to the outdoor performance of "Grease" with. "Grease" is one of my all-time favorite shows. You can't go wrong with an outdoor show in a beautiful park on the bank of the Piscataqua River.
I am thankful for the warm welcome I have received from Blogdom!
Last, but not least, I am very thankful that I live in the wonderful United States of America.
Happy Birthday, America.
What are you thankful for today?
Here's to gratitude.

I may have to get back to you! I guess I'm thankful for people and things to distract me when I need it most. And I promise to be extra-thankful if Mr. Sun actually shows his face!
