Thankful Thursdays

Now that I've survived the holidays and all of the illnesses that came with it, I'm reinstating Thankful Thursdays. This week I'm thankful for:

• knowing my hard work is appreciated
• a 3-day weekend
• 2 days off with my husband (this is more rare than it sounds)
• meetings full of laughter, even when we're all under stress
• time to relax at home and let my creative juices flow
• snow!
• a full shelf of books to read (also not new, but I am flying through books right now)
• my local library and the Friendly Library Guy

As a side note, I am really enjoying a book right now by Lis Harris, who writes about her visits with a Hasidic Jewish family in New York. I love learning more about the Christian faith by studying our Jewish origins.
