365 Days of Gratitude - Eight

I am thankful for the sound of giggling and crazy laughter that erupts whenever my husband gets on the trampoline with the kids!

365 Days of Gratitude - Seven

I'm not the 'lunches out with the ladies' type of person, but I went for lunch with a friend today.  She and I have never had time together without our husbands and kids on board too.  It was wonderful!  We had a very good visit - she taught me a lot and our conversation prompted some great lines of thought for me.  I am very thankful  for the time I spent with her today and I hope and plan to do it again.

365 Days of Gratitude - Six

I am thankful that my kids have had the opportunity to learn how to read in two languages. Additionally, I am thankful that they are individually capable of learning how to read in two languages! (A favourite part of my Tuesday schedule is spending time as a parent volunteer at my children's school.)

365 Days of Gratitude - Five

I am thankful for the power of humour.  It helps diffuse tension, uplift low moods, coax forgiveness, setttle disputes, entertain boredom, fill time, lighten loads . . . not to mention making our meal times quite priceless at times!

365 Days of Gratitude - Four

I am thankful that I have settled spiritual beliefs that comfort, reassure, correct and guide me. Sundays help to remind me of the hope I have in Jesus.

365 Days of Gratitude - Three

Our local grocery store had Customer Appreciation Day events on today.  I am thankful that although my children are growing up so so quickly, they are still young enough to enjoy playing in a bouncy castle!

365 Days of Gratitude - Two

We took supper down to the beach for the first time this year!  I am thankful that spring has arrived once again!
