Thankful Thursday - Round 2

So I started this Thursday blog tradition two weeks ago and then I forgot to do it in the second week! UGH! Oh well, I'm keeping with the new habit this week, so here is my list of things I'm thankful for this week:

1. New friends - I have SO enjoyed hosting my new friend Laura and it's so much fun to talk to someone in person who knows my hometown. She is moving from St. Louis Park, MN - that's the suburb that I was born in! She is a great new friend and a spectacular person. I'm looking forward to fun Texas adventures with her!

2. Wireless internet - I am blogging on my couch right now - no cords attached! It's like the concept of 'Look, Mom - no hands!' What a great invention - I can sit anywhere in my house or out on the patio in the backyard and still be on the internet - GENIUS!

3. Puppy ears - There just is nothing better than soft, floppy puppy ears. And just that clean puppy smell - I call it 'sleeping puppy' smell. When Maggie sleeps, she is all warm, soft and peaceful. NOTHING better!

4. Quilts from my Mom and sister - I have a quilt that my Mom made for me a few years ago and then my old and new quilts from my sister, Kristi. I have come to love quilts and there is just something about a gift that is handmade. Priceless.

5. My health - I know it's cliche and a very general statement, but it's so BIG. I know several people in my life that RIGHT NOW are fighting for their very existence and going through some very exhausting, painful and costly medical battles. I am wildly thankful for my health - now more than ever before in my life.
