Days 14-20 of 30

Last week was absolute madness,

good madness

but madness none the less

hence why I am a solid week behind on my thankful post!

I was this year's

Arrangements Chairman

for Holiday Happening

here in Lubbock.

Holiday Happening is the

Junior League of Lubbocks

big fundraiser for Food2Kids.

Food2Kids

is a program that feeds over 900+ children

who would otherwise

go hungry over the weekend.

So in an attempt to catch up on my "thankful" post:

Day 14: I am thankful for the women of the JL Lubbock

who graciously volunteer their time and service

for the betterment of the community

Day 15: I am thankful for new friendships.

I got to know so many wonderful women

this last week and am just so thankful for girlfriends.

Day 16: I am thankful for patience.

Some lack patience

but thankfully the Lord gave me lots

and for that I am extremley grateful.

Day 17: I am thankful for music.

It is so refreshing and good for the soul.

Day 18: And because I am thankful for music

I guess I must first be thankful for my hearing!

I am reminded constantly about the simple things we take

foregranted and expect that are nothing short of a blessing

and something we need to know are not guaranteed tomorrow.

Day 19: I am thankful for decorations.

This time of year I decorate everything;

my poor husband, drives him nuts

but it makes me so so happy!

Day 20: I am thankful for my bed.

After 8 14 hour days of Holiday Happening

I had never been so happy to see my bed!

Hope everyone had a wonderful week!!
