Thankful Thursday

Right now {and always} I have so much to be thankful for.  God continues to pour blessings into my life and I wanted to take a moment to thank Him for all I've been given.  This list is only a tiny sliver of what I have to be thankful for, but it's what is on my mind right now.

{1} Morning sunrises.  I have a 30 minute commute to work at the break of dawn (6:45, really) and a lot of days the sky completely takes my breath away.  I think sunrises are even more beautiful than sunsets!  It reminds me that His mercies are new every morning.  I really love that time in the morning listening to praise and worship songs with a beautifully painted sky and rolling hills surrounding me.  Now, it's another story in the afternoon when I just want to get home and sometimes get stuck in traffic!

{2} It has been {kind of} a three-day work week.  Today I'm taking my class on the field trip to the zoo so I'm not counting that as working!  Tomorrow we don't have school!  I am so excited to have a fun day at the zoo with my students and then a long weekend.  Can't beat that!  Follow me on instagram at kmojard, I'm sure I'll be posting pictures of the zoo animals!

{3} Baby Caroline is healthy {so far} and is preparing to make her entrance into the world!  I am trying to keep my phone with me 24/7 so I know when Beth {my sister} goes into labor.  I can't wait to meet that little peanut!  Another teacher at my school had a baby last week and it died two days later.  My heart is heavy for their family and it makes me even more thankful that Caroline appears to be a healthy baby girl.

{4} Sunshine and the ocean.  Friday morning we're driving down to Connor's parent's house for the weekend.  It's so nice that they live near the water!  The boat is all ready to go and we will definitely enjoy some time on the ocean.  I'll probably spend more time working on my suntan than fishing :).  I won't be back til Monday so see you then!

{5} 19 more days of school stand between me and summer.  I love my kiddos but it will be pure bliss to have two months off to rest and relax.  It can't get here soon enough! I've been a slacker blogger due to a busy schedule, but I plan to get very organized with my blog this summer.  I promise it will get better!

What are you thankful for today?  It's so easy to get caught up in everything going wrong in our lives.  Step back and reflect on all you've been given.  Leave a comment and let me know what you're thankful for!
