Carole came up with the great idea of Thankful Thursdays in November.  Even I can come up with three things (and it gives me a reason to blog another day this week).  I’ve meant to post one of these for the last 2 Thursdays, but as usual, time got away from me.  However, today is a new day and it’s never too late to be thankful.  I’m thankful for:

1. My health. So many of my friends and acquaintances have had major health issues lately that I’m really thankful that my issues have been relatively minor.  In the grand scheme of things, kidney stones aren’t that big of a deal and I’m fully recovered (or so I choose to believe).
2. Happiness. Happiness is such a relative thing.  It’s so easy to get mired down in the daily stresses and think about all the things you wish were different in your life.  It’s so much harder to look at the glass as half full, but it really is so much better for you.  I’ve recently been making a real effort to look at all of the things in my life that really are so wonderful and be grateful for those things.  Happiness truly is what we make of it, and I choose to be happy.
3. My husband. I am blessed to have a wonderful, talented, and sexy husband.  He loves me despite my craziness (and I love him despite his – or maybe it’s because of) his craziness.  He is always (usually?) willing to jump in with both feet and tackle whatever crazy project I come up with.  Recently it has been the new craft room in the basement.  If I can just get it painted, I can move all of my stuff down there and we’ll have show and tell.

Happy Thursday.  What are you thankful for?
