Day 9--I am so thankful for my mother and sister!
This morning, Little Miss and I hopped into the car and drove the 5+ hours to Colonial Williamsburg. We met up with my mother and sister for our annual (ish) girl's weekend. This year, we are initiating Little Miss to what has become a tradition of laughter, chocolate and relaxation--with plenty of shopping and stops for Punch Royale (not for Little Miss...).
I am so thankful for this weekend with my family. Already, we have spent the night laughing though a delicious dinner and buying dozens of books. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the high 60s and sunny. I can't wait to introduce my daughter to my favorite place!!
Where do you go to recharge? Who do you like to take with you?

Midnight Phone Call
Day 8 of 30 Days of Thankfulness...
I am thankful for the knowledge that if I had a problem in the middle of the night, I could pick up the phone and call someone (more than just one!). Not only do I know that those friends would drop everything to help me, they would take the time if all I needed was a shoulder to cry on. I have seen these friends spring into action, whether it is to aid me or another.
Life is hard enough without having someone like that. Someone that you know will answer the phone even though they have things of their own to worry about, someone who stops by your house just to see you, someone who makes you feel like you are the most important person in the world to them. Friends like this are few and far between. We live in a society that is overly concerned about what life is doing to them, not to others. The only way to have a Phone-Call friend like this is to be one yourself!
Who is your Phone-Call friend? Take the time today to let that person know that you are thankful for them. That you are there for them. That you appreciate they blessing they are to you.

30 Days...Late.
It took me a while to catch on. Doesn't it always? But my friends on Facebook were all telling me how thankful they were for this thing or that thing. So today, I decided to look it u.p. It's part of the "Thirty Days of Thanks". Basically, every day in November, you are supposed to give thanks for something in your life.
30 Days of Thanks
Right. I thought, Well, I'm always thankful. I mean, just today, I gave thanks for ....and...
oh.
So, better late than never, right? I am going to try (because we all know how good I am at catching up on posts ..) to blog every day about what I am thankful for.
Thus....
Day 7
Today I am thankful for my husband. When I was worked up and upset over the negativity on my Facebook wall in the aftermath of the election (combined with several more stresses and strains that are working on our family and lives right now...), he sat with me and talked me through my feelings, listened thoughtfully, and gave some excellent suggestions. Thanks to him, I was able to settle down and get some things accomplished today!
What special thing did someone do for you today? Be thankful!
