Thankful Thursday...better late than never

This week has been mind-blowingly busy. I can't remember the last time I was this drained and worn out. VERY much in need of a weekend and so thankful it's finally here!

Today I am thankful for...

• the good Lord
• my handsome, wonderful B and the new things I learn about him nearly every day
• my silly, precious family and friends
• the realization that, not only can B cheer me up out of a serious funk, but he can be really honest with me in the sweetest, most supportive way possible...LOVE that about him
• 6 months next week :)
• my job and my wonderfully go-with-the-flow schoolbabies...I don't even want to think about them leaving me in May :(
• the tremendous effort that has gone into planning our D.C. trip...we've been pouring all our energy into it, and I know it'll pay off
• springing forward an hour next weekend...I'll miss the hour of sleep but am SO ready for extra daylight
• a roof over my head, clean running water, food in my fridge, clothes in my closet, shoes on my feet, my phone, my computer, the dishwasher, a place to get in out of the cold, a soft place to lay my head at night
• the cold snap we're having this weekend...SURELY this is winter's last gasp and springtime is around the corner, right???
• deciding to pray for grace this week, and many opportunities to practice showing it
• the arrival of March, because it's the birthday month of some of my favorite people!
• no more night shifts for B until May...woohoo!!!!
• my sewing skills, which allowed me to sew new patches onto B's shirts...makes me feel useful, which is one of my favorite ways to feel
• vitamins
• lotion...winter and my skin are not friends
• spring break in TWO weeks!
• paying my last rent today for my current little home...this time next month, I'll be in my new abode and I'm SO looking forward to it!
• long walks
• sunshine
• getting to catch up on Justified with B last night
• getting back into my lesson planning/paper grading groove
• a very fun science experiment with my students yesterday, and a ready-made opportunity to show a little grace
• being literate and being able to get back to my regular tutoring schedule after next week
• contentment
• laughter
• spring break in TWO weeks!
