Thankful Thursday

It’s Thankful Thursday hosted by Brian of Brian’s Home. He wants us to post what we’re thankful for.

I think it’s a good thing to do each week. Focus on the positive things in our lives.

Make sure you link up to the Blog Hop at Brian’s Home and get the code to put on your blog. Then visit all the participants.

Today I’m thankful for getting to spend time with my granddaughter and my three greats yesterday. Watching them grow and thrive is such a blessing.

I’m thankful that we can help them now and then. Being young and raising three kids is not only tiring, but expensive.

I’m thankful that I have such a wonderful husband. I met him when we were both young and married to other people. Little did I know that one day, he would ask me to marry him. A dream come true.

What are you thankful for today?

    Hi Sandee, friends before being partners? That’s how the best marriages are made… I hope your grandchildren and the greats appreciate how much they mean to you… Today I was down the beach with my sister and her lot (over on holiday) and my Mum and I am thankful that we’ve always got on well as a family. It makes our time together fun and stress free. I am also thankful that my parents are in such good health.

    xx

    • I agree with you. We were friends long before we both divorced our horrible partners. Both of us were so miserable in our precious marriages. 🙂
