Thankful on Thursday - WEEK ONE

I recently came across a blog called The Outdoor Wife.  It is a very insightful blog by a woman/wife/mom whose life is quite different than mine own, but I still felt a connection to her (probably because of this).  "OW" does something so neat. . .every Thursday she writes out at least ten things that she's thankful for and posts them for the blogosphere to see.  I decided to join her because I don't think there is ever a time that I don't need a reminder to be totally conscious of my blessings (large and small)!

Feel free to head on over to The Outdoor Wife or join me here for Thankful on a Thursday.  Instead of 10 things, I'm going to do 7. . .one thing for each day of the preceding week.

Week One:
I'm thankful for...
1.  My new "old friend" CG who I recently connected with and helped celebrate his birthday.  He has a fresh perspective on the world that I so enjoy!
2.  The fact that my husband understands my need for "a million" friends and doesn't mind the fact that sometimes my activities don't include him (really, I think he is thankful for it!).
3.  Bubs awesome vocabulary. . .never in my wildest imagination did I think I would have actual discussions with my 3 year old.
4.  Busy's new found ability to crawl. . .this leads to me not being too thankful that time is literally flying by.
5.  My Keurig coffee maker. . .oh the joy of having a fresh-brewed cup of coffee in under a minute any time day or night (also thankful for decaf!).
6.  The impending conclusion of LOST. . .that show drives me CRAZY. . .but I can't stop watching it.  I need it to be over!!!  (but then I will probably cry. . .)
7.  That my family keeps me grounded and sane when for the most part I feel like I am teetering on the edge!  I love laughing with Schmoops, snuggles with B & B, morning drive talks with Mom, running with McBFF, Blackberry messenging with Bethie, and all my true and trusted friends who make my life so happy and fulfilled!
