Thankful Thursdays

Happy Thanksgiving!  10 Things I am thankful for this week. 

1. I am thankful for sweet and funny Dorothy Jo.  Today (Nov. 23) is her 3rd birthday.
2. I am thankful for the smells of Yankee Candles.  I am a cerophilist. (I learned that from Dawn). 
3. I am thankful for my neighbor, Julee, who loves to bake, and always brings me little treats.  She is very generous in so many ways. 
4. I am thankful for toilet plungers.  Need I say more?
5. I am thankful for my HANDS that are able to care for small children (and plunge toilets) and especially for Hand Lotion.  One of these days I am going to count how many times I wash my hands during the day.  Have any of you actually done this?  Oh yes, and I'm thankful for the running water and soap to WASH my hands a zillion times a day!
6. I am thankful for Pete's 5 days of vacation over Thanksgiving weekend.
7. I'm thankful for big, fat, yummy, baby cheeks that I get to kiss a thousand times a day.
8. I'm thankful for priests who hear confession at OTHER TIMES besides the standard Saturday- afternoon-time. Thank you Father Harris.
9. I am thankful for Suzanne Fowler and for the The Light Weigh.  This spiritual weight loss program is amazing, and NOT just for weigh loss reasons.  St. Therese and St. Ignatius, pray for us. 
10. I am thankful for my friend, Kari, who is headed to the hospital to have a baby tonight!  We can't wait to meet you, Molly Walker!
