Thankful Thursdays

Aloha Ladies!

I don't come around as often as I used to and should, but I thought to pop in and say hi and start a thankful thread. So without ado here we gooooooo....

I'm thankful....

for my friends, online and IRL that have supported me and helped me along when I was just sitting here spinning my wheels. Thanks for being my rock and/or fishy floatie.
my health and the chance to live a full and active life,
my husband who has proudly proclaimed that he is my enabler.
my two puppies, that when I'm sad or angry I look at their faces and it reminds me that not all is bad when I have their unconditional love,
for Rach Swazzleberry and her turkey buffalo burger recipe which is my dinner tonight, I'm so excited.

I love this idea Moto! It's good to see you around these parts - it has been a while!

I'm thankful for...

my husband who is my best friend and biggest supporter
my awesome sauce girlfriends who are always great for a laugh or a kick in the pants!
my amazing mom. SERIOUSLY the best mom ever
my stable, good paying job
mashed potatoes. I don't think I could live without them!

Miss you around here @motolyn, we haven't done one of these in a while.

I'm thankful for the opportunity to still have my current job while looking for a new one...I know a lot of job searchers are unemployed and I could definitely be more thankful that I'm still earning while looking for a better opportunity.

I'm thankful for my FI because he brings me back to reality when I'm going crazy over silly things like my job or silly wedding stuff. I'm such a lucky girl and I can't wait to be his wife.

I'm thankful for @lmhollister because not only is she the best MOH eva, she is the best big sister a girl could have. I love our friendship and all the silliness we share.

I'm thankful for this new blog I found that gives me weekly meal plans for every week out of the year. Can I get an AMEN? No more trying to be super creative about what to cook for dinner/lunch.

ETA: spelling

Missed your face, Mrs.

I am thankful for:

My husband. That man has been so sweet, loving and supportive the last few weeks and I know he will continue to be for the duration of this writing my thesis business. I'm so damn lucky to have him.

Wine. It takes the edge off a long day.

My comfy bed and getting to cuddle in it.

Wonderful idea!

I'm thankful for...

A career...even though it is highly, highly, highly stressful.

H...who puts up with said career and encourages me to reach new goals when I want to give up.

Inches lost...even though I'm not loosing any damn pounds after two months of training, I'm slooooowly loosing inches.

I needed this today.

-I'm thankful for my wonderful apartment, which I'm determined to live in for several more years. It has everything we need and more.

-I'm thankful for the fact that I can be comfortably "unemployed". My babysitting income combined with unemployment means I'm not really doing without. Luckily I get to be on my parents' health insurance until the end of the year, and my rent/bills are low enough that I'm not too stressed about money right now.

-I'm thankful to have an amazingly loving boyfriend who never says the wrong thing. Last night I started complaining that my arms were fat (I'm not super happy with my body right now, but usually keep those thoughts to myself). BF looked over at me and said "No part of you is fat, you have a great body." I have my own insecurities (don't we all), but he does nothing but boost my confidence.

-I'm thankful for a fantastic immediate family and two little sisters that I feel closer with every year. I'm thankful that my youngest sister can hang up on me one day, and call me in tears the next because she knows I'm there for her no matter what.

-I'm thankful for the 37 views my Etsy shop has since we opened on Tuesday evening, even though we don't even have a full page of items yet!

-I'm thankful for my beautiful, silly, pup, who runs laps around the yard and throws her toys up in the air just to attack them as they hit the ground.

-I'm thankful for Cheryl Strayed - I think I'm in love with every word she writes.

-I'm thankful for the Fall - it's my favorite season.

-And, in no particular order, I'm also thankful for: The burgers I bought from TJ's last night. YUM. / Parenthood is on tonight! / Popcorn with white cheddar seasoning / The shirt my mom bought me from Loft / how freakin' hot BF looked as he got dressed for work this morning

Shiroyasha · October 2013

I'm thankful for the following:

My job for being mostly awesome. I'm just thankful to have work, even if it drives me up the walls most of the time.
My friends for supporting me and talking me down off ledges.
My BF for everything. He's seriously amazing.
My mostly good health.
Food truck night. I love food truck night.

@Hummingbird125 - Congrats on the Etsy shop! What do you sell?

@southernpeach89, sorry if you've shared it already, but can you post the link to the food blog you like? I seriously need to start cooking at home again, and weekly meal plan ideas would be a godsend.

Love this thread already! I'm thankful for:

My mom. We have been having our share of difficulties while living together again, but I know she loves me and has been so patient with my moody, high-strung self. She has cooked more tasty meals than I know what to do with over the past few weeks. And she took me shopping for clothes the other day like I was 12. I want to be all grown up and everything, but that was so incredibly nice of her.
BF. He has been so patient and supportive and kind to me over the years, even at times when I absolutely didn't deserve it, and I would not be pursuing this dream of mine if it hadn't been for his encouragement and example. I really am a better person because of him, and I look forward to seeing everything we will accomplish because of each other and will create together.
My nursing school friends. They just get it when things are overwhelming and scary and don't make sense, and I'm so happy I have them to get through this mess with.
My job. I honestly feel like my life has meaning when I'm doing it, and I love my co-workers, my boss, and what I do everyday. I feel so lucky that I can feel that way, even after a crazy 12-hour shift that leaves me exhausted, hungry, and smelling like all kinds of nasty things.
My car. My phone. Hot water. Modern advances in general. I lead a charmed life with all this stuff to make it easier, and I take it for granted way too often.
The fact that I am healthy and that the only thing holding me back from feeling super-extra good is my chocoholism.
My brothers and how well they are doing with everything right now.
