Thankful Thursday # 13
"We become what we think about all day long."

With thanks to Iris at Sting My Heart. By sponsoring Thankful Thursdays, you've helped me become a more grateful person--and to connect heart-to-heart with other grateful women. Visit Iris' blog and wander the other TT posts all over the world!
Today, my thankful list is truly random. It's been a random, oh-wait-what-am-I-supposed-to-be-doing-now kind of week! So, in no particular order, I'm thankful:
- that my new and wonderfully improved website for late-in-life moms is up! Mommy-Come-Lately.com has been refurbished, revamped, and revved up! Come on over and check it out--and the kick-off contest, too!
- for my wonderful Web guru, Stacey at Digital Picnic, who held my hand through the website redo--and made it all happen!
- for my husband--and for pain medication. I think I broke my toe--and it hurts! But my sweet husband is loving on me and taking care of me with Tylenol and ice packs.
- that there are a few less piles around my den. Only a few--with more to un-pile. But, every step towards organization is a reason to be thankful, yes?
- that my caboose kiddo (the reason for the Mommy-Come-Lately website) is having so much fun in second grade! If she's happy, I'm happy!
- that when my car door broke on Monday, the repair was a quick and inexpensive one. And that my marvelous husband ran over from work and lassoed the door shut so I could drive my car to the mechanics. What a guy!
- for a sweet conversation with my younger sister today. We've played phone tag for weeks and weeks.
- my mom celebrating her birthday this weekend--and loving her gift of a digi-photo frame! Yea!!
- for all my Thankful Thursday friends!! You all are a highlight to my week and motivate me to be grateful for the next 7 days!!

I love that quote! Really convicted me! Wonderful TT list!

Ouch! Broke toe! It hurts just to hear you say it.
I loved your quote at the top. It reminds me of the verse in Proverbs "As a man thinks in his heart so he is."
Have a blessed weekend.

Aww Beth...blessings and healings to that poor toe! I love your precious thankful thoughts and great THANKS to Iris, who we all owe thanks for showing us the pluses of looking for a weekful of Thankfulnesses to Our Lord! Sometimes right under our nose or toes! I hope your new site catches the crowd you'd like to minister to!
Happy Birthday mom of Beth! Hope you all have an enjoyable and blessed celebration and weekend! Hope all is fixed and mostly organized! Less piles definitely a step in the right direction! PTL

What a wonderful list. Your husband sounds like a great guy...am sure he is!
I like the look of your other site. I've visited and checked some resources for moms.
Oh btw, happy birthday to you mom.
