This week I'm thankful for...

• this French toast recipe
• thank you notes with Jimmy Fallon
• Grimm
• the man in the checkout lane who let me go ahead of him with my two items
• the smell of rain
• raising dragonflies with my little ones
• my patio
• my Ugandan kids
• the sound of rain on the roof of my patio
• fire in the fire pit

Thankful Thursday #104

This week I'm thankful for...

• Jimmy Fallon & Justin Timberlake.  'Nuff said.
• the Olympic ice skating gala
• the French ice dancers who skated the final dance from Dirty Dancing.  Nobody puts Baby in a corner.
• slow dancing with The Hubs
• medical insurance
• strawberry & spinach salads
• the celebration of Russian artists, writers and dancers at the Olympic closing ceremonies
• these haunting and beautiful photos of the remnants of the 1984 Winter Olympics stadium in Sarajevo
• taking a half day off to visit a friend
• eating on the patio
• Tagalongs, the most delicious Girl Scout cookie ever.  Your argument is invalid.
• Andrew Solomon's hopeful, yet realistic, TED talk about living with depression.  It's worth so much more than the half hour it takes to watch it.
