Thankful Thursday

You know you agree with Maxine... don't try to deny it! LOL

I have to say that this week flew by! One would think that with a cold it would feel slow, but here it is, Thankful Thursday again, and it feels like I just did one! LOL

So... thankfuls... hmmm...

1. All of you. I was reading journals this am and had quite a few laughs, smiles, and even some great useful information! Thank you all!

2. Hubby. He drove the kids this morning to school, then dropped off the car and walked to the bus. Just so I can sleep and try to shake the remains of this cold. He has done that just about every day he can to make it easier on me since mornings are so hard even when I don't have a cold, and I truly appreciate it. The little things really mean a lot.

But, just so his head doesn't swell too much, I will remind him of the years I worked and had to drag out one then 2 kids every morning because he left for work by 6am then. LOL heh heh heh

3. Coffee. Finally, the seasonal flavor that is my favorite is back out again! Yay! Gingerbread! YUMMY! It tastes basically like cinnamon coffee. I love it. I will stock up as much as I can!

4. My life in general. Choose joy. Always better for you than being stressed, sad, or cranky.

"A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning, as if supported by the rays of the sun, a bird settled on the fire escape, JOY in the task of coffee, JOY accompanied me as I walked."
Anais Nin, 1914-1977, French-born American Novelist, Dancer.

Joy is there in the simplest of things.

5. Coffee. Oh did I say that already? Going to get more...

Find your joy today. Think on your blessings. Join in on Thankful Thursday.

be well...

I believe that coffee is the lifeblood of the human. I doubt that most of us could do without it. Hope the kids have fun tomorrow. Regards, Bill

You know, my cousin and I was searching for a Dunkin' Donuts around here, and you know what? There isn't one Dunkin' Donuts within a 15 mile radius to our home. Weird, huh? Anyway--your Thankful list is a good one! Are you ready for Halloween? Julie :)

Beth said...

Hi Dawn, I don't know your email addy, but you asked on my journal about using cottage cheese vs. ricotta in my ravioli casserole. The recipe I used called for CC, for whatever reason--I had some in the fridge, so I just used that up! I would think that ricotta would be interchangeable, so I wouldn't hesitate to use either.

Hugs, Beth

Hi Dawn,
Hmmm ... gingerbread coffee ... I've never tried that. I like Gingerbread. I like coffee. Sounds good!
Best,
Marty

Hi Dawn. I don't have an email address for you now. But thank you for your comment. As to being on screen, if you are a soap watcher you may have seen me do a stint on All My Children nad one on One Life To Live. Other than that a few Indipendant films might show up on cable I was a New Yorker most of my life. Now I'm in eastern PA.

I picked up some gingerbread and peppermint mocha fudge creamers yesterday, funny, I usually drink my coffee black at home!
Very nice thankfuls, as usual. It's so easy to see the joy in life, if you just look!
Hugs, Leigh
