25 Things to be Thankful For--Inspired by a Friend

I love catching up on my friends blogs, reading their thoughts for the day or viewing the pictures of their growing children. And it has honestly been some time since I had the chance to catch up on a few, because my computer has decided it will not work at night, strangely the only available time I have to catch up. Thanks to a snow day, I finally got a chance and noticed a recent post by a friend titled, "25 Things to be Thankful for." In this post, she challenged others to post their own version. As I am always up for a challenge, I am glad to post 25 things I am grateful for, in no particular order, and encourage you to do the same.

1. Lazy mornings in bed with Drew, Bella, and Caddy
2. Movies in the basement snuggled up with Drew
3. Weekend breakfasts with my mom and dad
4. Snow days home with Bella
5. Students that both challenge me and make me laugh
6. Coworkers that make it easier to go to work each day
7. Long walks with Caddy and our friends
8. Daisies and Roses
9. Cuddle sessions with Bella when she wakes up in the middle of the night
10. Late night conversations with Drew as we settle into bed
11. Trips to Target with my mom
12. Scarfs, something I would wear year round if I could get away with it
13. Long showers and hot baths
14. Days when I don't have to change out of my pajamas
15. A job in a rewarding profession
16. A church home where I feel comfortable to worship and strengthen my faith
17. Coffee on the way to work
18. Black Eyed Peas (the group, NOT the food)--always get me ready for my work day
19. A toasty fires in our fireplace
20. Two wonderful grandmothers who make it easier for me to hand off my little girl each morning
21. Caddy's loving smiles
22. Bella's smile when I wake her up each morning
23. Dinner and catch up time with friends
24. Bible study and the wonderful ladies in the group--even though I took a break this season
25. Cookies and any thing else made with sugar
