It begins...

My understanding is that I can put as many or as few as I like, so I'll just add a few now. My plan is to keep a piece of paper throughout the week so I can post them the following Monday.

Things I'm thankful for...

1. I found my favorite brand of multi-purpose cleaner at the store. Haven't been able to find it for a while. But now I have two bottles!

2. My husband's laughter. I love his laughing lines, and when he laughs so hard that he shakes. Those smiles are my favorite.

3. Random surprises. I got a customized book mark today from a friend of mine. It was unexpected, and very thoughtful.

4. "Mexican Coke" - the Coke that comes in the glass bottle, with sugar cane. Yum!

5. Non-scary Thunderstorms. They remind me of the power and might of God, and are so amazingly beautiful. Plus, I'm always grateful when there aren't tornadoes.

6. Family. I love love love love love my family. I even managed to land some pretty decent in-laws ;)

7. My doggies. They make me laugh and smile, keep my feet warm, and make my life interesting.

8. Our youth group. Every day, I'm surprised to find that my love for the kids in our youth group has grown. Just when I think there's no way I could possibly love them more...God proves me wrong. I'm so grateful to get to be a part of their lives.

9. My sense of humor. I know not everybody gets it, and sometimes I embarrass myself...but I'm convinced it's what's going to keep me young.

10. My new toy! I got a brand new camera! I can't wait to get it all together tomorrow and start to play with it! :D
