Thankful Thursdays Top Ten #66

It is Thursday again already?  I have not reverted to my old ways - just been a hard week.  I will catch up and I have some content ideas bouncing around my head. But for now, here are my top tens...

1. I am thankful for all the blogs that said "When it's hard and overwhelming, just do the next thing."  Every time I read that I thought, hmm, obvious much?  But this morning when I felt completely overwhelmed I thought ok, all I have to do is the next thing.  I can't tell you how thankful I was for that bit of advice then.

2. I am thankful for play dates at the park with Miss Stephanie and her five babies!  (She has two babies and three big kids but Grace decided they were all her babies - and I'm sure she wouldn't disagree)

3. I am thankful for impromptu park dates with my parents.

4. I am thankful for exhausted, sweet smelling children who played hard and took a bath then crashed in bed.

5. I am thankful for a wonderful date night with my husband, good conversation, silliness and buy-one-get-one-free smash burgers :)

6. I am thankful for knowing that God has my back.  Without that I think I'd be lost.

7. I am thankful for energy, excitement and revitalization - more on that later!

8. I am thankful for my "Experiencing God" study and Miss Abigail who meets with me faithfully every week.

9. I am thankful my father in law's car broke down on Monday (shh, don't tell him!).  I really needed some quiet time with God and when I went to pick him up I think I got it.  I also got to spend some quality time with my father in law so that was nice too!

10. I am thankful my kids love to cuddle.
