I walked out to my car at 6:15 this morning and believe it or not, I was trying to think of what I'm thankful for this week. That's when I saw a single fall leaf on my windshield. It hasn't been below 55* here and it's been so dry that the only leaves falling are dead and brown. I don't know where the leaf came from but I felt like it was God's way of saying "good morning" to me and giving me something else to be thankful for.
I'm so glad I get to write my Thankful Thursday on Thursday this week instead of Friday! It always gives me a great perspective when I start my morning with "thank yous" because it allows me to think of reasons I am blessed. I am so thankful that Husband came home safe last night. He caught a late flight out yesterday so he could make it back last night instead of this afternoon. He was up north for work the last two days and the sound of him shuffling through the house at 12:45 this morning was music to my ears. Little surprises.

I don't know where the leaf came from but I felt like it was God's way of saying "good morning" to me and giving me something else to be thankful for. My job. It's so wonderful to have a job I enjoy going to and to work with people that truly appreciate each other. The picture to the left was taken 4 years ago on a train in Canada. I always thought it was funny and wanted an excuse to use it and say I truly love my job (like the sign above my head) and now I feel like I'm at a place I fit and enjoy going to each day. My dear friend Maria. Yesterday was a bad day. I got about 30 minutes of sleep the night before and woke up cranky. Then, nothing seemed to go right. Maria was in town (remember she moved to North Caroline after her wedding last month) and she drove downtown just to have coffee with me and turn my day around. I skipped my lunch hour so I would have a little time to sit with her and just talk. Thank you, again, Maria for being such a wonderful friend! (And, yes, I found your blog - the one with three entries - and stole this pic!). All of you who are taking the time to actually read what I have to say. I started this just over a month ago and I was getting used to seeing 20-35 page views/day. I found it exciting to see any number of page views because I saw that people were actually reading. I hoped for more but I know it takes time. I checked my stats today and saw that my page was viewed 83 times yesterday!! It's nice to know that more people are taking the time to see what I have to say. Thank you all so much!!
