Thankful for the Small Things…

Be Thankful for the Small Things

Too often I am looking for BIG THINGS to happen.  Great  things.  Amazing things.  What I sometimes overlook are the little things that happen all around me that I take for granted!

I’m thankful for coffee in the morning.

I am thankful for the smell of Cinnabon in the mall.

I’m thankful for my husband and children.  (This is in no way a small thing, but I do think I take it for granted too often.)

I am thankful for that person who called me back.

I am thankful for gorgeous weather that brings out neighbors at night.

I am thankful my kids can dress themselves and feed themselves.

I am thankful for that person who opened the door for me.

I am thankful for peanut butter and ice cream…and real butter.

I am thankful for my Mom’s peach pie.

I am thankful for elastic waste pants.

I am thankful… that I could go on and on about things I am thankful for.

What are some things you are thankful for today?

Giving Thanks,

Thora
