Little candy pots of gold at the end of rainbows The post title above captures what the Ten Things of Thankful blog hop is all about: finding those glimmers in life that bring a sense of gratitude. Whether rainbows (and their proverbial pots of gold) appear amidst dark ominous clouds or fluffy white ones, we take hope in them and our mood is lightened. Here's a glimpse into my life this week: Last night, John and I watched our grandchildren in their home while their mom and dad had an evening out. I'm thankful we could spend time with them . When we first walked in the door, youngest granddaughter asked me excitedly, "You're going to take me to the library?" I'm thankful that we share a love of the library, even if we don't go there every time I visit. We did, however, read bedtime stories together. With St. Patrick's Day as an excuse, I looked online for easy snack ideas that the kids might like. I found the pot of gold idea on The Typical Mom blog
A bouquet of multi-colored tulips, with cast-iron bunnies in front It was another quiet week here, but quiet is good. Here's a list to prove it! I'm thankful: 1. The plum tree in the yard is blooming. 2. Hummingbirds are visiting the feeders I recently cleaned and filled. 3. Colorful tulips brighten our space. 4. I found the cute little bunnies in the photo above at the thrift store, and decided they weren't really a "shoe scraper" as the tag said. (Although they would have made the cutest little shoe scraper ever!) 5. I made it through the 3rd week of the couch-to-5K program. I love how gently the program progresses. 6. The scale continues to move in the desired direction. 7. The temperatures here are pleasant. 8. The landlord's goats are going to have kids sometime soon. 9. Drexel loves the toy banana I got him earlier this year. He brings it to me nearly everyday. 10. John continues to love his job. How was your week? Don't forget to set your clock
