365 Days of Thanks - Day 223, 224, 225, and 226

Day 223 -
Thankful for good music.  Nothing like music that makes hours in the car feel like minutes, makes you can't help but bob your head and tap your foot, makes you sing at the top of your lungs.  Whether it's from your childhood, has inspirational lyrics, or is just off the wall with a good beat - just thankful for music and how it can enrich our lives.

Day 224 -
Thankful to be a part of a great second, extended family.  We gathered on Saturday with my mother in law's family to celebrate one of her brother's birthday.  We have the best time when we all get together.  Nothing but laughter and stories fill the house (well, except for the great food).  We had a great time.  I saw sides of each aunt and uncle I'd never seen before.  I'm just so grateful they have all welcomed me in with open arms.  Thankful for the family bonding they have, the stories they share, and the laughter we can't get enough of.

Day 225 -
Thankful that Grandpa Johnson was so looking so much better this past weekend.  So glad he had color, a smile on his face, and that his little hair was growing back.  So glad he was up to the company and party.  It was definitely something to praise the Lord about!

Day 226 -
Thankful my husband came to help me in my classroom today.  Thankful for his muscles, good ideas, and caring nature to help other teachers in my hallway.  I'm so grateful he supports my career and passion and was able to lend a hand today.
