Thankful Thursdays

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive — to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love. #lifelessons

And that's why I link up with Ryan on Thursdays.

{I'm thankful} to have a warm place to call home. It's cold here in Alabama, and it's something we sometimes take for granted. I'm also thankful I have a warm ride, hot food, and a husband who's love keeps me warm.

{I'm thankful} for emails from friends who share good news with me. It makes my heart smile knowing others are experiencing great joy in their life.

{I'm thankful} for our dishwasher. (And no that's not me or the Mr.)  Hand washing dishes ranks right up there with cleaning the toilet.

{I'm thankful} for technology to know what in the world the weather might do tomorrow. Praying we might see some sun this weekend. But of course, I secretly wouldn't mind seeing some snow.

{I'm thankful} to truly know what love is. I really never knew what it meant to be in love until I met the Mr, and I'm thankful everyday that our love strengthens and quadruples. Everyone deserves to be loved this much.   

{I'm thankful} for the Mr's hilarious sense of humor. All joking aside, he really can say some of the funniest things at just the right time. And I especially love the way he makes up words to songs... i.e. "It's too late to get a job" to the tune of "It's too late to apologize." Yep, now you're laughing, too!

{I'm thankful} this month is halfway over. I've never really been a huge fan of January, even though this January has been great for us, but I'm ready for February to be here.

What are you thankful for today?
