our original thread “and then it was so” is overflowing with gratitude!
as a result it takes forever to load.  i am grateful for the posts there and grateful to Jenn for starting another thread as well. 

i offer this place as another place to share thoughts and reflections of gratitude, another link on our ever growing chain.

I'm thankful for unusual warm weather we have been having. Usually, this time of year it's much colder and even snowing from time to time. It's been about 70 degrees and sunny here three days in a row now!

I'm also thankful that my youngest daughter is finally napping. She doesn't nap much anymore, but really needed one today.

Excellent!  I'm on board too. Some days I have enough things to be grateful for to contribute to two threads. :)  When I started Jen's Gratitude I had no idea whether it was just my older system that was resulting in the long loading time. Since others were experiencing it as well, all the better to start another thread with a more general heading.

I'm grateful to Ohmsmom for taking the initiative to start this new thread.

I am grateful that Rex made it through this huge 15 hour surgery this week, that we are past it and that the doctor thinks he got all the cancer. I am grateful that Rex is so upbeat and encouraged. I am grateful for the many friends online and off who have been praying for us. I am grateful that Rex is doing so well with his recovery.

Wow, there was much to be grateful for today. Counselors being open to me sending them information about my business, a store owner willing to put flyers up in the window, a leader of the girl scouts programs engaging me when I showed up impromptu at their registration event, the folks at an elementary school's after-school program sending a concerned mother my way. Looks like I've got my first student. :)
