Melanie Gets Grateful

Jumping in on Curious Georgi's Thankful Thursday challenge to share 10 things I am grateful for this week.


It has been a challenging week, but I really find that each challenge reveals unrealized blessings.

This week I am grateful for:

1. East of Eden Farms - Suburban farmers that pasture raise super yummy chickens, so I can eat really yummy chicken with out feeling bad.

2. The car angels that kept me on the road when my power steering went out and kept my car running long     enough to coast to a stop in a parking lot.

3. Good ol' boys that make you feel like a princess when they ride out to your rescue.

4. That even though it wasn't entirely comfortable, we had enough money in the bank to pay for all my car repairs without freaking out.

5. My neighbors mom, who brought her twin sister to see our chickens, and their delightful childhood farm stories Sunday morning.



6. Doggies that try to 'help' with an endless barrage of puppy dog kisses when I'm doing yoga.

7. My daughter's impromptu Broadway songs as she unloads the dishwasher.

8. Wonderful friends that make sure I know they will always be there.

9. A week of rain mixed with sun shine.

10. My crazy husband, who bravely challenges authority in ways I would never dream, but always comes away with the best stories.
