Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for that little peak of sunshine that came out for only about a half hour, it was the perfect way to brighten up such a blah gray day:o)

I am thankful for being a female family member in this large family of mine. This simply means that at certain (and very special) times, various heirlooms are passed down for others to keep safe and use with love. Today we received a large box and inside was a collection of brass, vintage vanity items that great-grandmother kept on her dresser. There were also several necklaces of large chunky beads (who knew they would be back in style!) that still smell like her strong, distinct perfume. I was handed down a silk handkerchief that is handpainted with pretty, colorful flowers. One day this will be part of my something old, something new:o)

I am thankful for the wonderful phone call I got from my friend Steph telling me that she and her husband, Jason, are moving back home to PA! I'm sure she is just as thankful that she has a wonderful husband who understands how much she misses her family and friends. I have the best friends a girl could ever ask for. They are always there when I need them, even if its for a lunch date (which I am doing with Jenna on Saturday).

I am thankful for my Nike Training app on my iPod touch. It allows me to workout at my own pace but throws in challenges that keep me moving and whipping my tushy into shape:o)

I am thankful for those fuzzy, cozy, soft aloe socks that I got from Bath and Body Works. They keep my feet warm in my winter boots but also keep my feet soft too with the little bit of aloe that's in them! Try them, they're amazing (a great Christmas idea too!-the aloe stays in them for up to 15 washes).

I am thankful for the new key finder I just bought at Target. I can NEVER find my keys and I usually wait until I am running out the door to try and find them. Now I have this nifty little contraption that, with the press of a button, will find them for me (even if they are in the bottom of a drawer like they were this morning, oops!)

I am very thankful that tomorrow is Friday and I have a very busy but what promises to be a very fun weekend planned:o)
