3. New windows coming with the offer of the hope of lower utility bills.

2~Sunshine..it has been cold here so seeing the sun out makes the day better:D

3~It's Friday..Does that count :D

[Mom2legomaniacs]

1. Dh will just do whatever is needed for me -- he's great that way

2. Our kids can really step up to the plate and it just warms my heart that I get to spend the kind of time with them that I do. THey are great.

3. Lab reports, while not ideal, could have been a whole lot worse. So that is good, even though not perfect, I am thankful for that.

[Eliana]

1) Cough drops - and the amazing husband who schlepped off to get them. The way he can mange to turn anything even this nasty respiratory bug into a heartmeltingly romantic situation.

2) our car (which stopped working Tues night for the third time in the last 6 weeks) is diagnosed and might be ready to pick up before Shabbos. I don't often think about how we, as a society, have turned luxuries into necessities. It is a humbling thought.

3) my two eldest daughters who are doing almost all of the Shabbos preparations and who have been so responsible and helpful while the rest of us have been sniveling and hacking away - they are becoming such amazing young women!

Eliana

3. Thankful that I have seen the Lord move powerfully in our lives this week, through unexpected gifts, unexpected job interviews, and the resurrection of a proposal we thought was dead.

[Danestress]

1. That I live so close to my parents. Even though I am at the moment sort of overwhelmed by the reality of having a father with Alzheimer's and a mother who needs my daily help, it's a great privilege and blessing to be right here to help the people I love.

2. That my husband earns sufficient income to not work for pay so that I can spend this time with my children.

3. That my MIL is moving here next month!
