Thankful Thursday {Friday}

Happy Thankful Thursday  Friday to you!

Life has been busy as of late and I'm afraid I don't even know what day of the week it is.

 I'm also afraid illness has struck.

On Valentines Day I found out I have shingles.

{so lovely}

and a couple days ago I turned into a 

tea drinking, sore throat, congested, snotty, fuzzy brained mess.

Needless to say I've been a bit of a grumpy pants

{sorry to any of those it has affected}

so this post could not come at a better time.

I'm in need of some reminding of all the the blessings

the Lord has provided.

Today I am thankful for

tea & honey

our comfy couch

medicine

new doctors 

great books

having my own bedroom,

being able to make this space my own

journaling

sweet roommates who take care of me

that in 12 days my other half will be moving back from Florida

nesting & decorating

family dinners

{and the leftovers that come with them}

my tiny garden

picking out flowers at the flower mart

flower arranging

fresh flowers in the apartment

the smell of stock

trips to Lowe's garden center

birthday celebrations

my baby niece holding me and telling me she loves me

giving my niece lessons in gardening

and watching her learn

a successful women's retreat

the snow covered hills around Irvine

facebook messages from friends I haven't seen in a while

candle light

&

twinkle lights

being made aware of areas in my life that need growth

good conversations

getting to know people better

opportunities to be creative

building a portfolio

that in 26 days I will be boarding a plane to South Africa

that tomorrow is Saturday

What are you thankful for today?...
