A New Year of Thanks

Getting to this a little late today, but I can't miss out on counting my blessings with you on Thankful Thursday.  Please, visit Rebecca Jo @ Knit By God's Hand to join in and find links to other posts.

This week I am thankful...

* that I was able to go back to work today.  I'm not really over the flu or whatever it is that I've had all week.  I fought nausea all day and now my chest feels like it's "tightening" and my breathing is a little bit wheezy.  Asthma?  I also had to drive on some dicey roads this afternoon as a snow storm hit about the time school was dismissing.  But I am still thankful.  I went back to work and made it through the day.

* that my husband seems to have escaped this bug.

* for the way my husband pampered me and took care of me in the evenings and called several times a day to check on me.

* to be safely home (the roads are bad) and snuggled up with my pups.

* there is a possibility of a new job in the future for my husband that would significantly improve our financial situation...and that he is will to consider it and other offers that come along.

* for Crumpets, my favorite tea shop.  They have scrumptious flavors of loose teas, fresh baked crumpets with a variety of AMAZING toppings, and a yummy lunch menu.  I am dying to get over this stupid flu and get some of their chicken salad...it has green apples and bacon in it!

* for a nice time with our friends on New Year's Eve...even if I am pretty sure that's where I picked the flu.

* that my friend's husband, who is also a dear friend, a pastor, and something of a father-figure to me is doing well following his open heart surgery.  He has a very long road ahead and is getting impatient, but he is doing well.

* for all of you!

Sorry it's a short list this week....I haven't done much but snooze on my sofa. Stay safe and warm this weekend as the storm hits most of the country.
