After the storm

Today, I am thankful for this view that comes after the storm. It reminds me that something good always comes from difficult times - if you're willing to recognize it.

My shedding cuddle monster.

Today, I am thankful for this furry little face. Matilda forces me to show love and affection, first thing every morning, regardless of how I feel. She requires me go outside twice a day and enjoy the beautiful scenery that I would otherwise miss. She makes me laugh daily. I am so thankful that she is a part of my life.

In between the drops

Today, I'm thankful that I didnt have to walk Matilda in the rain.

Payday

As I sit here realizing that I don't have enough money to pay all the bills due before the next payday, I have to be thankful that I have a job at all.

The strut

Today, I am thankful for that inexplicable thing that happens to me on the inside when I put on a pair of heels. There's an extra boost of confidence that comes with a feminine edge when I don a pair of heels, especially when I'm at work. It makes my courtroom strut that much more powerful. It carries over while strolling through the grocery store. It lasts even after I take off the heels, put on the sneakers, and walk the dog. Thank you for whatever it is that happens when I put on a pair of heels. :)

Made the short walk longer.

Today, I'm thankful for the wind that cooled things off enough for Matilda and I to take a long walk this evening. The heat got to her yesterday and she almost fell out. Today, because of the wind, she was able to run around for awhile.

Easter

I am thankful that God sent his son, Jesus, to earth. I am thankful that He chose to die to save me from my sins. I am thankful that on the third day, He arose and ascended to heaven and sits on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty.
