Thankful Thursday

1. Ceiling fans

I never really appreciated their contribution to the world until I moved to a very hot place. They make all the difference, especially when you are sleeping - pushes that cold A/C air right down on you. Hurray for ceiling fans!

2. Brett Favre for another year

It's not so much that I love Brett Favre (I think I will always see him as a Packer), but when he's playing, the Vikings are shown on TV pretty much every week here in Texas. So by him agreeing to play another year, I can enjoy watching my Vikings from the comfort of my own home again!

3. Dill pickles

Not too much to say here.......you would think I would've grown out of my love for dill pickles after all these years.....but I haven't. They are amazing and still my favorite food!

4. Journals/scrapbooks years after making them

OK, so I went to Hobby Lobby last weekend and found this super cute storage trunk that has Europe art all over it. I had a gift card and it was on sale too - I ended up buying it. I brought it home, found a place for it and then dug out all of my Europe stuff to fill the trunk with my memories of the 5 months I lived in Spain and traveled all around over there.

I just skimmed through my journal and was amazed at what I wrote during my travels - things I don't even remember thinking or feeling! I'm so glad that I wrote so much down and I can't wait to do the item on my 33-list that involves spending a whole entire day looking through old photo albums and scrapbooks!

5. Not being able to stop laughing

Everyone knows that feeling - laughing about something and just not being able to stop (it usually happens at an inappropriate time, like in class or as a movie starts, in church, whatever). It's a fun, giddy feeling and I love it - bring on the endorphins!
