#ThankfulThursday

What were you thankful for yesterday? Well imagine if you woke up today and all you had were those things!

I'll be honest - upon waking up this morning I would only have...ugh, I can't think of a thing I was consciously thankful for yesterday. Oy vey.

Yikes! That puts some things in perspective. Especially since some of the things I wouldn't have is my five senses!

What today's #ThankfulThursday reminds me of is the things I take for granted. The things I forget I really am grateful for but never really take the time to be thankful for. So today, I'm spending time being thankful for all the things I know I take for granted.
