I don't want to be one of the 9!



I havn't posted any of my grateful fors yet.  I have a lot of them and this year I have kind of been focusing on the little things.  So as not to be an ungrateful leper, I thought I would express my thanks.


I am thankful for...

bright orange skies

my husband's smile

sunny days

thick, squishy blankets

fast internet

chipping paint

colors so rich you can feel them deep in your skin

running water (after sacrament meeting today)

my children's jokes

gut laughter

homemade meals

ruffles (not the chips)

and the smell of old books


There now, there's a few things I'm thankful for this holiday season.

What a great list! I'm with you on the old books. That is probably my favorite smell of all time.

Nice list. I'm feeling a little bad that I only listed 3 things I'm thankful for on my blog. Thanks for the guilt Merilee. (j/k :))

Great list...I especially love 'gut laughter'!

wonderful list. You are officially not one of the 9.

Where is that door? I love it! I also love the sunny day. There is something so warm about yellow.

Merilee said...

I stole both of those pics off of google.

I love the gut laughter and your description of great color. You definitely have an artisitic eye. Ok, two if you're being technical.
