Pushing to 3,000

As with everything in life, my thankful list has its own ebb and flow. Sometimes I can write dozens of blessings per day. Other times I have to look back over the past month and remember what happened.

I'm currently trying to pull myself out of the slacker end of things. 9 days in, and this is my first thankful post of the new year. My goal is to sit down every evening to write in my 1,000 gifts journal and also post a handful of those things each Thursday.

In my last post of the year, I shared #2145. I'm presently at 2225. I try to focus on gifts of time spent with those I love, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't count the items I received under the Christmas tree as blessings.

2147) Church library books

2157) Christmas eve snow

2158) Running in the snow

2164) Christmas lunch with friends

2172) Healthy blood work numbers

2180) Christmas eve steak dinner tradition

(The list got jumbled as I was recounting a week after the events happened. Not everything happened in order as its listed, but rather as I remembered to be thankful.)

2192) Visiting with Jay's WV relatives at the barn/house they are building in the country.

2193) Homemade blackberry wine

2194) Old timer stopping by for a chat.

2202) Errands for $0.25 - from the Princess & Little Man

2204) Princess's spa treatment

2207) Cheese roll-up dance - Little Man & I acting silly

2210) Broken glass - Jay not injured

2211) Jesus healing me overnight 

2215) Rental guest book entries ---> people enjoying their stay at our cabin 

2217) Dunkin Donuts after church with Mother

2218) Snow!!

2220) Safety + no power loss + no frozen pipes during snow/sub-zero temps

2222) Trying (and enjoying) new class at the gym

2224) iPad mini!!

What do you have to be thankful for so far this year??
