We are so much alike, it's scary...#151, 155 & 182 really strike a chord with me.
Great list of gratitudes, we are all so richly blessed if only we would stop and make our own lists. Thank you.
You are making me feel almost like an ingrate. I really need to do this. Actually I could copy some of yours for we have a lot of the same blessings. Some really make me smile. Thanks for reminding us how much we need to be thankful for and to quit griping.
#155 - That's MY style!
#182 - The coffee aisle is my favorite in the store.
I had to laugh (and agree) with the ice one!!!
#174 - isn't that what you make PIES out of ?
I love so many of those, too!
Hope you are doing well and staying COOL! It's still hot up here after that supposed 'cool down'. It will be a heat index of 105 today~and going up for the rest of the week:(
I am so inspired by your lists! They encourage me to look for thankfulness in my own life.
Still enjoing your list. Right there with you on homemade vanilla ice cream YUM!
You list makes me smile and happy. Thank you for helping me think of the everyday blessings that we should be thankful.
I am having a blessed time here with my new granddaughter. I hope that you have a great week. Hugs, Lura
