Thankful Thursday

Good morning, everyone! I'm sitting here enjoying my morning caffeine and watching the snow come down while sitting by the glowing Christmas tree...a lovely morning to share a little thankfulness. I'm linking up with Rebecca Jo @ Knit By God's Hand for Thankful Thursday.

This week I am thankful...

* I woke up this morning to find that the antibiotics are kicking in and the swelling has gone down a good bit from yesterday. Thank goodness! I was starting to be a bit concerned when after 3 doses it seemed to be even redder than before and then it was throbbing pretty badly during the night. It was a big relief to wake up to find it smaller and without pain. This is the third soft tissue infection I've had since working at the nursing home. I just might become a germaphobe because I already wash my hands, sanitize and use gloves constantly.

* none of the winter storms that have rolled across the country in the past week have done more than bring us a dusting of snow here and there. We usually get hit, but it was all just one big miss this time around.

* for the great day we had for our late Thanksgiving on Saturday. The kids had a good time playing together and Colton was so excited to see his cousins. 

* for the ease of Amazon shopping and all those smiling boxes delivered to my door....and for the fact that we are not plagued by "porch pirates" in our neighborhood.

* that a good portion of my shopping is done. Now to start wrapping. 

* for each one of you.

* for a baby born so long ago, born to die and change the world, so that one day I could live. 

Be blessed & thankful today!
