10 Things I’m Thankful For - Part 1

Thanksgiving is almost here, and I have many things to be grateful for. Over the next couple of weeks, I’m going to share a few things that top my list. This week I’ll share 5 things.

I’m thankful for my husband and my best friend Scott. I’m so glad I have someone to share the adventures with. The everyday things, and all of my ups and downs.

I’m thankful for good food. Food from my garden. Food in my kitchen. Food shared with others. I love growing food in my garden. I love cooking and baking with my daughter and granddaughters. I love sitting at the table with my family to enjoy a snack or a meal.

I’m thankful for music. Loud, quiet, soft, or intense; there’s always a song that will match my mood. If I’m not playing one of the many playlists I’ve created, then I have something that is looping in my head. I can’t imagine life without misic.

I’m thankful for sunrises and sunsets. They are beautiful and peaceful. Quiet and still with beautiful light.  And nothing feeds my soul like a gorgeous sunrise.  They’re a reminder that God is still here, and always faithful.

I’m thankful for running water. Yes really. Every time we return from a hike or a camping trip I find myself standing at the sink with my hands under the streaming water grateful for the time in which I live. How wonderful to have clean, running water with so little effort.

This is only a few things to get started. More to come next week. What are you thankful for this season?
