30 Days of Gratitude

Day 14

Today I am grateful for having a job at my beautiful store. All be it stressful being a small business owner at times, it is wonderful being your own boss and having a beautiful place to go and work in. I love doing the displays and searching for the vintage items on our customer wish list. I am blessed to be able to do this!

What are you grateful for today?

Day 13

So while I was out of town, I somehow managed to turn off my scheduled posts...yeah, technology and I arn't the best of friends at time! So today I am extra thankful! Have a wonderful Veteran's Day. Please give some love to those who fight for our freedom and to those who support our troops at home. 

Day 12

Today I am thankful for the men, and women who serve our country every day and especially to those who have served or given their life for this country. I am thankful that they are/were willing to put their lives on the line for my freedom so that I may live and work in a place without terror and violence.

Day 11

Today I am thankful to all the families, wives, and parents of these men and women, the true heros who serve our nation thanklessly. Thank you, yours is not an easy job.  Without you supporting them on the home front, we could not be a free nation. 

 

Day 10

Today I am thankful for living in a small town. While the bright lights of this beautiful city are fun for a weekend, the chaos, cars and massive numbers of people everywhere are a bit too much for me! Small town, USA is where I belong.

Day 9

Today I am thankful for artistic shows like Cirque Du Soleil. What an overwhelmingly cool experience! The directors who can create shows like this and the performers who can do the skills needed for these performances are in a nutshell, AMAZING! If you ever get a chance to see one, do it! This is the second show I have seen and I am always impressed and amazed!

 Day 8

Today I am thankful for a weekend with this gal who lives far, far away.
Thankful for growing new friendships and time to catch up with old friends. I am blessed to have such wonderful women in my life!
Good times with great friends are always something to be thankful for!

Day 7

Today I am thankful for pilots who can, not only take off and fly, but land the plane too! Oh and some really cool people that I got to sit next to while I was on my flight!

Day 6

Today, like many, I am grateful for the right to choose. The right to say who I think should be our next leaders, where our money should be spent, and what should matter to our Great Nation. So many people in this world are denied this simple choice. Please, don't think your voice isn't heard, or doesn't matter. Especially now, in these critical economic times. Be informed and make a choice. If not for yourself but because so many people don't get to choose. I am so thankful to live in the United States of America and have the right to choose.

Day 5

Today I am thankful for other bloggers who do this so much better than me. The ones who inspire me, who touch my life everyday when I need a little lift or even a reminder of what is truly important. The creative souls I have never met but feel like I connect with on many levels, but mostly on a human level. Like this beautiful lady who's post I read this morning touched me in so many ways. Read it here.

What inspires you? What keeps you going? What are you thankful for today?

 Day 4

The kiddos being goofy in the kitchen sink!

 Today I am thankful for a day of rest with my babies after a long and stressful couple of weeks. It has been wonderful staying in my pajamas and doing nothing with them. We turned down a couple of offers to meet up with friends, and as much as I love our friends, I know it was the right decision today. We all needed some down time at home. Just wish my hubby was here with us but someone has to work right? Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Day 3

Today I am thankful for my Mom. Shes my business partner, shopping cohort, and the one who inspired me to love all things "old". I am so lucky to have her nearby and so involved in my children's lives. Although there are times we drive each other crazy, I wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks Mom for everything!

Day 2

Today I am especially grateful for the men and women who work in Emergency Services. The dispatchers, police, fire, and ambulance workers who show up at all hours of the night when they are called upon without complaint. 

I woke up today to the flashing lights of an ambulance and fire engine in our windows as our elderly neighbor was being rushed to the hospital. I pray for her healing and hope that everything turns out for the best. The men and women who were taking care of her were quick, efficient and extremely professional. Thank you so much!
