"Oh, Lord, who lends me life, lend me a heart replete with thankfulness." William Shakespeare
Today I return to a random list of some of the things for which I am thankful...
I chose a quote from William Shakespeare because tonight I am thankful to be meeting up with several girlfriends for dinner at La Madeleine and Shakespeare in the Park at the botanical gardens. I am doubtful I will understand much of The Tempest but think it should be a nice night out, nonetheless. I am thankful Don willingly adjusts his schedule to allow me time to be with friends.
I am thankful for my wonderful friend, Suzy, who celebrated her birthday on Monday.
I am thankful Don had a safe trip to Florida and back this past weekend.
I am thankful and proud that Don was installed as a deacon in our congregation this past Sunday.
I am thankful I got to watch two "chick flicks" in his absence--P.S. I Love You and Becoming Jane. In his defense, I can watch chick flicks whenever I want but I LOVE the feeling of being able to do it by myself without the twinge of guilt that he is bored beyond words.
I am thankful for air conditioning when it is pushing 100 degrees outside. YUCK!
I am thankful the Spurs advanced to the next round of the NBA playoffs. Go SPURS go!!!
As Memorial Day approaches, I am extra thankful for the many brave men and women who have died defending our country and freedom. I am not thankful they have died but I am thankful for their service and sacrifice.
I am thankful for Memorial Day weekend 1991 because that is when I met Don. It was a very memorable Memorial Day weekend, indeed.
I am thankful for our niece, Sadie, who celebrates her FIRST birthday on Sunday.
I am thankful for moments of quietness to be able to reflect on life's simple pleasures.
What are you thankful for today?

I am thankful for the health of my family and I am thankful for the love and support of our friends. One of my best friends will be at the lake this weekend and I cannot wait to see her!
I am thankful that I feel better. I had not been taking verfy good care of myself over the past 2 years. But now, I have my diet under control, my back hurts less and I am much more clear minded. I am so thanksful.

I responded to your comment... I do love you girl and forgive me for making you feel you wouldn't do the tag.... you are the tag master and you always come through, I just meant I know you are super busy, but I still was going to ta0g you anyways.
And yes I do know you are teasing.. but just wanted to make sure you knew I loved you...

A lovely list full of happy thoughts. Thanks for taking the time to list your blessings. What an honor for Don...and it speaks volumes about the kind of man he is (although I know he must be pretty special to be with you!).
Sadie...what a cute name!! Happy birthday to her!!
Happy weekend!!
I always love reading about your thankful heart!
I am thankful that you stopped by my blog and shared your experiences with Gladney.
Chronic autoimmune illnesses stink, but it's so nice to hear of a fellow sufferer who is moving on with her life and successfully parenting. You are truly inspiring!
I hope we can keep in touch! I can't wait to hear more about your adoption journey. :)
I am thankful that I started reading your blog again. You are a wonderful writer and I look forward to keeping up with you blog.
Thanks for the comments re: my infertility rant! :)
I can't believe some of the comments you've gotten about adoption! I guess I'll have to prepare myself for that!!
