Thankful Friday

Every time I think of celebrations, I hear the lyrics to a popular song: "Cel-e-brate good times, come on!" It's such a cheerful song.  In honor of that festive spirit, today I am celebrating the following:

1. Good friends.  This week I got to spend some time with a friend I've known since sixth grade.  19 years of friendship! Quite frankly, good friends are hard to find, so this is something worth celebrating.

2. Church family.  My husband and I have developed many awesome relationships through our church, and this cannot be underestimated.

As you can see, there are no writing achievements listed.  I've become quite busy again, but that's okay.  I'll get back to it soon.

So what are you celebrating? Let me know!

A Celebration...a day late.

It's time for another Celebrate the Small Things post, and I hope you'll forgive me for being a day (or a few weeks, depending on how you look at it) late.  I've been away from my blog for several weeks now.  It was unintentional, yet unavoidable.  I got sick again with walking pneumonia and was couch ridden, except for the days when I had to work.  Rather than convince myself to turn on my computer, I entertained myself with books instead.  And now I'm trying to work a lot of overtime.

So in honor of the celebration, here are a few things I am celebrating:
1. Antibiotics.
2. Books.  I actually read for the second time the Left Behind series along with the three prequels and the one sequel.  I love that series.  That was sixteen books total.
3. Sunshine, flowers, and gardening.  In a few weeks, I am going with my two sister-in-laws to a garden fair.  I can't wait to stock up on flowers.

So what are you celebrating? Share below!
