10 Things

Because I have had a very busy schedule.

Because I have felt little to no inspiration for writing this week.

Because I really need to do this, this morning.

10 things I am Grateful for today:

Pier 1 Imports mug

1.  My elephant mug full of coffee flavored with Coffee-mate's Peppermint Mocha.  Mmmmmmm.

2.  My hard working husband who works day in and day out at a job that some days he enjoys, but on most days, it is just his job.

3.  My children.  I could list them each as a separate item, as each one gives me reasons to rejoice.  But, that might be a little bit like cheating, as I am having to push myself to write this morning, and don't want to take the easy way out.  So, for Josh, Lexi, Samm and Victoria, I give thanks.




4.  My friends, who are many.  I love time with them.  I love talking with them.  Kristi, Liz, Annyse, Charity, Mandy, Charley and too many others to list.  I love you all.

5.  Music and dancing.  More and more, I find myself drawn into the music when I dance.  There is joy there.  And as a belly dancer... you get to be all sparkly and blingy.  (blingy: new word I just made up)

6.  My Thursday morning bible study.  The Word, the teaching, the worship and the ladies.  Love it all.

7.  For the time that I have had as a full-time stay-at-home-mom.  It is coming to an end soon.  We had a good run, but can no longer afford for me not to work.  =(

8.  That I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, where the weather is mild, the mountains are beautiful and it's green!

9.  Food.  I like to eat it.  I also like to create new and wonderful things with it.  Then I like to eat those too.

10.  My Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.


I am going to try something new, and start a blog hop.  They are a lot of fun and you can find some amazing and creative blogs out there!  The them for this hop is "10 things Tuesday".  I will feature a list (usually a list of 10 things, hence the name)  and the provide the topic.  Then off we go!!!

What are you grateful for this morning?
