...a thankful heart on thursday

... so i started this little segment right after thanksgiving of last year in an effort to keep the spirit of gratitude alive in my life all year long.  i like the idea that the little things really are the big things in life sometimes.
have you ever met one of those people who become an "instant" friend?  you know, the type of girl (ok..or guy) you feel you've known forever?  it's such a cool experience.  my beautiful friend kolleen of heartwingsisters is one of those little blessings in my life.  talent, sass, style, good taste in music, creative, caring, good listener, good mama & wife, good friend and on and on...all in one amazing body.  that is kolleen.

she recently gave me this little award.  (i loved her before this i promise!)

i'm suppose to name 10 things i love at the moment,

 & then  pass it onto 10 blogs i love to visit.

since it's a thankful heart on thursday i'm going to combine the two ok?

ready, set, jump...

1. i love my amazing family.

2. i love meaningful conversations with friends who really care and listen.

3. i love that they have antibacterial wipes at the grocery stores for your nasty carts now.

4. i am loving this song i found by donavon frankenreiter called "beautiful day"...you're gonna love this one K!

5. i love seeing all 5 of my children bundled up and swooshing down the hills all together for the 1st time in 17 years.

6. i love this new sitcom my friends turned me on to last week. (because i don't watch t.v.)  it might say a lot about my sense of humor...yikes! so dang funny though.

7. i love the tetons in jackson hole, wyoming.

8. i love my new mac computer.

9. i love fingerless gloves, all chunky and knitted.

10. i loved the ENTIRE box of enstroms almond toffee from denver that i stole (from my dad) hid and ate over the holidays.
