When thinking this morning about all that I am thankful/grateful for 

my list kept growing…

: the weekend almost here

: celebrating youngest with a birthday party tomorrow

: being invited over to friend’s home

: crisp morning air

: hearing son yell “ I love you mom” before he goes out to play football

: and hearing him say it again as he comes in to get a drink of water

: gas in our cars

: balloons {cause they’re cute & colorful}

: favor with my hubs job

: healthiness

: the heat that warms our home

: leaves on the ground

: sun shining through the trees in backyard

: the warmth middle exudes

I also learned a new word this morning when getting the definition for grateful_  beholden... and this is what it said:

be·hold·en

Owing something, such as gratitude, to another; indebted

Now I think i’ve heard this before but probably didn’t pay it much attention until today.

So I feel indebted to show my gratefulness towards my sponsors/friends on here….just because I don’t want to let the opportunity ever pass me by..

With that… here is a random_ off the top of my head_

reasons for my thankfulness towards them today.

Katie and her encouragement always

Kinze and her beautiful heart

Jami and “we encourage Tuesdays”

Laura for her pursuing something she’s passionate about

Hanna and her wise words

Heather and her creative inspiration

Chelsea and new life in her belly

Ruthie for a starbucks card sent & always being uplifting

Kim for her awesome recipes

Kelly for her sense of humor

Heather for inspiring me

Meredith for newlywed marriage

Kim for her openness & honesty

Kelli Diane for new friendship

Pamela for her sweet soul

Ashley for challenging me

These lovely ladies inspire_ challenge_ encourage_ are all so beautiful_ and I am thankful.
