7 Things to be Thankful For

This morning I started the day thinking of 7 things to be thankful for:

1. My Life - Thank you God for the ability to get up out of bed and walk around and sing and live.
2. Horseback Riding - something I love and miss - got to ride today for the first time in a while.
3. Eternal Life - Thankful to know where I'm going! Jesus is amazing.
4. My Parents - A friend remarked yesterday how great it was that I got along with my parents so well. He said it definitely wasn't that way for everyone. I never really thought about it, but it's so amazing to be able to come home for a week and get along and have fun with my parents. Yesterday after church my dad started singing some crazy song "Oh dey, yum, de come dey.." then I started singing "She'll be comin' round the mountain" and all 3 of us sang several choruses before we erupted in laughter. And, they sat through Return to Oz with me, something several of my so called friends won't do. (hmph)...that's love.
5. The Holy Spirit - If I ask Him to give me peace, comfort, wisdom, direction - He does. It's incredible.
6. Duke - my parents dog. Now, I'm not a huge dog lover, but who can resist a sweet pet who just wants to love. I've enjoyed his company.
7. Thankful no one has asked to see my papers while in AZ. Enough Said.

Always a woman...and a wasp

Watch this ad Always a woman

I really enjoyed this. Kinda made me think of how quickly life goes by and how we should make the most of every day and not sweat the small stuff. And for a single girl like me who often wants to move on to the next season of life - marriage - it's made me realize that season will be here before I know it, so I should enjoy my life now.
 
I also loved the interracial couple at the end. That's the world I live in and it was nice to see that reflected in an ad.

On another note, a wasp just appeared upstairs in my parents house in Arizona. For the past two weeks I've had a wasp come into my bathroom at my apartment in LA. Now there's a wasp here? Common denominator? Sweet Pea body wash from Bath & Body works. Last time I lather up with that!

Comedy.

Blog Widget! Oh Yeah!

So, I've been finding and trying out widgets for my mac today and I just found this one! Basically, I can blog very quickly, press a button and it's posts! How easy. Hopefully this will allow me to blog with more frequency.

I was asked about a month ago if I still blogged. I was shocked and answered something along the lines of "yes, definitely!" Unfortunately, when I looked at my blog, I realized it had been a while, so, I shall endeavor to do a little better!
