Here's ten things I'm thankful for this week:
1. Wide open spaces and mountaintops.
2. Just a little thing called my first television appearance! No big deal.
Also? A big deal.
3. Coffee shops.
4. This kid. She makes me smile every day. And she is pretty cool.
5. Getting to hear the sweet sound of my fake niece when I was talking to her mom on the phone. Fake niece? You know, when your best friend has a baby, and the baby is real, but you aren't really her aunt biologically speaking? That is a fake niece.
Mine is a little over a week old, and she is amazing.
6. Milkshakes of the pumpkin spice cheesecake variety.
7. The comments on this post about being an only child, raising an only child, and mom-guilt. And blog comments in general, really, but these particular comments are a blessing to my heart.
8. Trees. Tall, tall trees.
(Katarina took this picture and gave me permission to share it here.)
9. Family movie night. We watched The Croods, and laughed a lot.
10. NaBloPoMo. It is crazy, but so very fun.
What are you thankful for today?
That is, indeed, a very tall tree and a pretty cool looking kid!
ReplyDeleteI love the photo Katarina took. And the authority your offered in your interview. Your daughter is very cool - love the hat.
ReplyDeleteWe totally saw The Croods. It was actually the first movie we took the girls to see in the theatre last year. So, that one is still on my list over a year later :)
ReplyDeleteTV is such a big deal! Beautiful pics. We love the Croods too, great family movie. Stopping by from#NaBloPoMo group.

ReplyDeleteI never distinguish between actual neice and nephews to those of my best friends. Same diff.

Coffee shops... Tell me you wrote in a coffee shop this week too. DOn't let me hog the cliche.
Yeah they sound like 10 pretty good things indeed, although I am not big fan of coffee shops because you know I don't drink cofffee

Your interview was great, Tracie. Good for you! I love that picture of your daughter...those eyes of hers are gorgeous. She looks around the same age as my daughter so I know what you mean about the smile every day. What a blessing! That is a fantastic photo of the tree. I love it!
