Thursday Thankfulness
It feels like it was just Thursday a day ago, not like a whole week has passed at all! What am I thankful for today…?
I am thankful for whatever perfect mix of conditions has made it possible for us to see rainbows pretty regularly where we live. First thing this morning, at the bus stop, there was an incredible rainbow in the distance. I can’t think of a more uplifting way to start a day, especially a rainy day. I never saw a rainbow when I lived in NYC.
I am thankful for toy drives! We got a notice home today that there is a drive going on for gently used stuffed animals. I won’t bore you with the details of the dancey-dance I did when I read that. My kids hoard stuffed animals, but they also tend to have very generous hearts. If I tried to get rid of the squishy dust magnets, they’d have a fit. But giving them to children who don’t have them…I just had Christmas come early.
Finally, I am thankful for yet another award! I’m getting totally spoiled now. Syndi at The Journeys of Cactus Jack Splash has awarded me the Universal Light Award. Thanks very much! I am truly honored, and if I am inspiring anyone, that’s reward enough. I’d like to pass this award on to some people who regularly inspire me:

All these moms manage to balance positive outlooks with deep honesty, and rarely a day goes by when I don’t visit their blogs. Thanks, ladies!
