One of the things I loved about blogging early on, was connecting with others in the blogosphere. Not “strangers” mind you, but like-minded people, to learn from and share with. My favorite place to do this was over at Grace Alone for Thankful Thursdays. I thought I would carry on that tradition here at Sweet Tea Diaries…
Today I am thankful for….
- A great start to the school year – All three kids seem to be having a great week, with good teachers and friends. (Yep, even Jake!)
- Awesome friends – I love that I have “sisters” that I can turn to. Some of these are by blood, some in spirit. All are precious!!
- A fresh start – It feel so good to be blogging again. Though saying goodbye to Truly Captivating was hard, I think it was just what I needed to rekindle the spark. Sometimes we have to let go of good things to grasp hold of something better.
- Being able to re-activate my gym membership – Yep! The Zumba Madness will be returning to a Twitter feed near you!! (Well, not right away… I will probably start out on treadmill/eliptical and Yoga. Gotta ease back into this. I don’t want to be hauled out on a stretcher!)
- My Man – No matter what. He’s always there for me. I happened to “like” a certain book on Facebook the other day, and lo and behold, it gets to delivered to my door two days later! I am a lucky girl!!
- My Kiddos – It can be trying sometimes (anybody out there got a 13 year old daughter?? holla!!!!) but the blessings far outweigh the trials. Precious. Precious. Precious!!
- Getting to able to be part of THIS STUDY at My Church. Love getting to know ladies over coffee and a Good Word. Can’t wait to start on September 10!
A great way to cure the doldrums is to count your blessings. Thank you, Iris and Laurie for leading us each week. I feel better already!! :-)
so glad to see you back to blogging! I love you on facebook but blogging takes it a step further :) I've been trying to get back to my blog too, mainly b/c I love going back to reading old memories but then they stopped! (thanks facebook lol) The blog looks great :)
