Thirty Days of Thanks – Day 14

Have you subscribed to TUT’s Notes from the Universe yet?  If not, go there and do it now!  These Notes are what I’m thankful for today. 
When I first signed up to receive them a long time ago, I read the bio of the guy who runs the site.  I remember his story was inspiring, and that he was a really [...]

Thirty Days of Thanks – Days 11, 12 & 13

OK, I know what you’re thinking:  I’m cheating by putting three days together.  And maybe you’re right, but either way, my 30 Days of Thanks is a blessing to me.  I do wake up every morning and think about what I can post about.  Some days I don’t eke out the time to actually write [...]

Thirty Days of Thanks – Day 10

I’m just glad that the Cub Scout Popcorn Pick Up day is done!  This is my fifth year coordinating the pickup and distribution of $15,000.00 of popcorn for our Pack, and just when I thought it was almost over, the unthinkable happened:  All of the final order sheets were wrong. 
What has to be done [...]

Thirty Days of Thanks – Day 9

I’m inspired today by another 30DoT blogger, Merri Taylor to give thanks for my house.  In her blog Merri writes that she complains too much about her home, and I have to admit that I’m guilty of the same.  My main problem with my house is that it’s little.  I mean 1200 sq feet little, [...]

Thirty Days of Thanks – Day 8

 Today I’m inspired by the tenacity of a little plant in my landscaping that I planted last summer, so I’m going to stray a bit from the Thankful theme and go with my inspiration.  In the end there’s lots to be thankful for, so please bear with me as I tell my story.
I wanted some green around the [...]

Thirty Days of Thanks – Day 7

I’m really loving this Thankful thing.  I woke up this morning asking myself what I was thankful for today.  It’s a great way to start the day, and I’m hoping that it will become a habit that I’ll carry with me for a long time. 
The thing is, I have so very much to be thankful [...]

Thirty Days of Thanks – Days 5 & 6

Today I’m thankful for Growth; specifically, my own.  I’m thankful that I have grown enough in the last few years that I didn’t beat myself up for not posting yesterday. I’m usually relentless with myself about fulfilling commitments; if I said it, I’m going to do it– come hell or high water.
For a lot of [...]

Thirty Days of Thanks – Day 4

Today I’m thankful for Saturdays, hot showers, crisp autumn air and, later this afternoon, I’ll be thankful for a clean house. 
(Today’s post is short and sweet because I have a house to clean!)
Have a great Saturday, everyone.

Thirty Days of Thanks – Day 3

Today I’m thankful that L & E (just) turned down my offer to take them into NYC to see the Yankees’ Ticker Tape Parade. 
I offered because: they have no school today; they’re Yankee Fans (by proxy if the truth be told; Grandpa’s a huge fan, but we only watch when they’re in the World Series;) [...]

30 Days of Thanks – Day 2

Today I’m thankful for surprises (well, nice ones anyway.)  Until yesterday morning, when L reminded me that it was the last day of school for the week, I had completely forgotten that today and tomorrow, due to the Teacher’s Convention here in NJ, school is closed. 
I still can’t believe that I forgot; first, because I’m [...]
