Thankful Thursday

Every Thursday I share what I'm thankful for.  Sometimes it's a serious or big thing, and sometimes it's a goofy or small thing.  I believe that no matter what is going on in our lives, there is always something to be thankful for.  Always.

I am so thankful that twenty years ago on January 18, 1993, I quit smoking.  I started smoking when I was seventeen, and quit after seventeen years.  I don't know how many times I tried to quit, only to give in to the craving.  It was finally when my kids were eight and nine and told me they wouldn't hug me anymore because I smelled like an ashtray, that I was finally successful.  I think it was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but one of the best things I've ever done for myself.

I'm also thankful for 
     *  my warm house and bed during this cold spell
     *  oranges so sweet they were like candy
     *  the start of my sewing room redo
     *  mindless TV.  don't judge!

     What are you thankful for today?
