Thankful Thursday

I'm a huge believer we are only given adversities we have the strength to overcome. In the last year I've overcome job loss and heartbreak, equally unbearable at the time.  However, neither compare to some of the sads going on around the blogosphere, and my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone facing difficult times.

Today I'm thankful for the following:

- My health being somewhat back to normal
- Amazingly supportive parents
- My friends and the laughter we always share, it's the best calorie burner out there!
- Facebook.  I'm able to keep up with The Favorite and Peanut's downward puppy yoga moves

He's only 7 months!

- Jetblue and DirectTV making the red-eye flight tonight much more enjoyable
- Weddings, giving me an excuse to see the east coast friends and act like I'm in college again
- Beer...always.
- Warm weather and even the ridiculous allergies because it means summer is almost here!!!!

P.S. Chicken has unofficially challenged me to a Jazz Hands Duel.  Challenge...Accepted!  Based on yesterday's responses, maybe I should hold an official jazz hands competition with reader submissions and a fancy award for the winner.  Thoughts?

P.P.S Don't forget to enter my Awesome Giveaway!

There are a lot of sad things happening lately, huh? I mean, I know sad things are happening all the time, but it seems like a lot of stuff is happening to people that I'm touched by - in blogland and in real life. (not that blogland isn't real)

There are a lot of things to be thankful for, that's for sure. And I can't wait to see more of the jazz hands...

Look at that little yogi in training! He has great form!!

This jazz hands duel is going to be EPIC. Chicken brought it from an early age, that's for sure!

I think the contest is a great idea. Obvs I can't enter or I'd win...duh. But I will gladly help judge. I love judging people, it sounds mean, and it is.

JAZZ HANDS COMP IS ON!!!!! ;) And I got plenty more yoga pics if anyone is so inclined, you can learn a lot from a 7-month old! He's got way more flexibility than I'll ever have, that's for darn sure!

i love the list of thankfuls :)

its so easy to get caught up in our lives, its nice to take a minute to be thankful for all the good things instead of focusing on what isn't going right.

It's always great when we can realize what we are grateful for. Makes for much more happy days!

I can never, ever get behind on blogs again because I've missed the jazz hands duel to the death/jazz hands-off. That lil baby is precious with his yoga...go on now!
