Thankful Thursday

Today is Thursday.

Do you know what that means?

That's right.... it's Thankful Thursday!

On Thursdays, I like to take some time

to share what I'm thankful for.

I love it when you share, too,

so feel free to grab the button

on the right side of my page,

and do a Thankful Thursday post

of your very own!



Today, I am thankful for

the little baby birds

who were born and took up residence

in the birdhouse in our backyard,

and who suddenly

grew up and flew away

sometime during the week.

I have no idea why,

but I felt some sort of silly connection

to those baby birds.

I loved sitting on the back patio

and watching the momma bird

feed her babies,

and listen to those teeny little tweets.

Today, I am thankful for delicious burgers

made on our cheap little grill,

and for the time spent with my husband

on a lovely spring day.

I am thankful for laughter,

and tickle fights,

and impromptu trips

to the ice cream store.

I am thankful for the willpower

to get low fat sherbet

instead of ice cream

on those impromptu trips, too. ;)

I am thankful for the Mother's Day cookout

we'll be attending this Saturday,

for my lovely mother-in-law

and my sweetheart of a sister-in-law

who are both awesome moms.

And last but not least,

I am thankful for MY mom,

without whom I most certainly

would not be who I am today.

Momma, I love you.

I am so very thankful for you.


What are you thankful for, dear reader?
