Well once again it was Thursday.  Thursday is such a lovely day!  Especially because that means that the next day is FRIDAY!  Gotta love that!


I've had an amazing last week and can't wait for the next!


I am so very thankful for ice scrapers, socks, Apostles, the ability to hear, the impact music has had on my life and still does, the ability to laugh!, people who make me laugh, meeting new people, making new friends, the ability to ACT, a job where everyone is always so kind, the lessons life teaches me, encouraging words from others, chivalry, amazing cupcakes, homemade chicken noodle soup and delicious banana bread! What are you thankful for this past week?

I'm thankful for my mom who always wants me to do my best in all things, my brothers & sisters for making home life entertaining  :)  for the happiness a plate of cookies can bring to a person's life, for a boyfriend that's such an example to me in every way, for coco butter lotion for making my hands extra smooth...for the scriptures and their teachings, for the beauty of nature, and for homemade bread  :)


*** I'm grateful for agency, the Zumba class offered at my gym, the ability I have to run and jump, the opportunity we all have to be examples to others, my family, prayer, the Cheesecake Factory, birthdays  =D  birthday cakes, and shoe sales  :)  OH!  And the Book of Mormon  =D

Thankful for...number TWO

It's Thankful Thursday yet again :o) This past week I'm thankful for: warm coats, long drives and good chats with friends, trust from others, sincere compliments, prayer, peace that music brings, talents from God, the fact that everyday is a new day, inspired religion teachers with testimonies, and drinking a big glass of milk after eating a warm cookie :o)


What others are thankful for (I must sadly admit that I lost everyone's responses except for the following):


}}{{ that i have a house to live in and a reliable car that starts even though it's brutally cold  :)  


Even though there were many other responses from other participants...and I lost them...and therefore they are not here on this blog post...I'm still thankful for everyone who contributed!

This week was a bit busy for me with school and work...and Thursday felt like Friday.  But luckily, one of my roommates knew me well enough that on Thursday night at around midnight she asked me how Thankful Thursday was and what I was thankful for.  


So...for the second time being late on this (oops!)...I am thankful for: thoughtful friends, hugs!, the ability to learn new things and apply them to your life, the ability to have a paradigm shift (theories class on my mind...), the fact that Heavenly Father put other people on the earth at the same time, trust from others, trials, challenges, the ability to listen, the talents of others and their willingness to share, honesty, heaters in your car, laughter and a really good cinnamon roll.


What others are thankful for:


/|/|/|  I'm thankful for prayers, for being in a relationship with a wonderful guy :),  for homemade bread, movie marathons, second chances, chocolate, sleeping in lol... my parents, and I'm thankful for this gospel.  :)


/|/|/|  I love your list!!!  I'm grateful for beautiful drives to the temple - even though the temple isn't ope (didn't know that before 5 seconds ago), scripture study, the Holy Ghost, $$ to pay for the long drives to the temple, talents, Sibelius 6-a music writing software, midi keyboards, heat!, and the sweet peace this gospel brings :)  Mmm...cinnamon rolls!!


/|/|/|  I'm thankful for blind dates, hummus, Quebec, second chances, choir, best friends, the gospel plan, and a friend who reminded me that being thankful = joy!  Love you, Jenny!


/|/|/|  So many things, but visiting teaching is the one that's on my mind today.




Thank you all who participated this week!  I really do feel blessed for the wonderful opportunities I've been given and the wonderful people I have in my life.
