Thankful Thursday

Okay, so I have been thinking about all the things I am thankful for, and trying to focus on those rather then all the things that are irritating me at the moment. Reading my blog you wouldn't know that though. Sorry for all the negativity lately! Anyway, on word!

Today I am thankful for payday. It is so nice for a day at least to have money in the bank account. To be able to pay all the bills. I am especially thankful that I am back to work and can actually pay my bills that have been sadly neglected the last six weeks.

I am also thankful for my mom. She is my babysitter without whom I would not be able to afford to work, and we would be in alot worse situation then we have been. It is truly a blessing to know that my children are in good hands, and that they will be watched the same as if I were home (ie same discipline techniques, same attention ect)

I am thankful that I passed the "Leadership assessment" at work. I had already failed three times, so finally passing was a blessing in itself. I am now able to apply for department manager jobs. And I am especially thankful that the department that I am most interested in just came open. I figure if that is where God wants me to be, he will make a way for me to be there.

I am thankful that my daughter is happy with the small things in life. She is so excited by "monsters" that she had a complete blast trick or treating yesterday. Though she was much more excited by the other trick or treaters in costume then she was in her treats. Another thing I am glad for!

That's enough for this week. I seriously encourage all of you reading this to think of the things you are thankful for and focus on them this week!

  2. That's cute that M was excited by the kids in costume. We were down at my MIL's for a while and everytime kids came to the door Megan and Kyle ran to check them out. They thought that was just about as fun as trick or treating!

    Good luck with getting that management position!

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.
