Thankful Thursday

I can't believe it's Thursday already.  This has been a fast week for me and I feel like I've been playing catch up.  This week I'm thankful for all the blessings that have been coming way.  I've been praying for God to open up some doors for me and He has.

I'm thankful to announce that I have some new blog sponsors/partnerships.  I'll be talking more on those as the rest of this month goes on.  I'm thankful to have such a supportive circle of blogger friends.  I can truly turn to them for advice or help when I need it.  Likewise, they can turn to me.  It's not just a one-way street.

I'm thankful for my family.  I received some really bad news about my uncle on Monday.  However, I know that God has the final say in all things.  This whole situation just made me realize how much we often take the ones we love for granted.  It was also an eye opener that I need to get back on  my fitness wagon.

I had fallen off but I'm thankful that I'm back motivated more than before.  I am determined to live and maintain a healthy lifestyle for me and my family.  No excuses. Period. Most importantly, I'm thankful that JJ started walking a little bit at the library on Saturday!!

I was so excited! He just stood up and started taking steps towards our sack of library books without holding my hand or holding on to anything.  I think the fact that the library has carpet and his feet can grip it better helped too.  We have hardwood floors at home and think the slickness makes his walking process here more difficult.  He feels unstable.  So, I'm off to shop for some walking shoes that have a good rubber bottom on them.

I'm also thankful that I caught it on video with my cell phone!  Technology really comes in handy!  I'll post it as soon as I show it to my mom first.  She would not be a happy camper if I shared such a huge milestone with the public before sharing it with her.  That's grandmas for ya.

What are you giving thanks for today?
