Friday's Fave Five #814




Happy Thanksgiving to all my blogging friends in the U.S.  I hope you had a lovely holiday yesterday!  Thanksgiving is a holiday that both U.S. and Canada observe, albiet Canada's already happened over a month ago.  But thanksgiving is not just a one day affair.  Daily Thanksgiving is a goal, a way of life and heart attitude.  It's meant to be done daily, thanking God for all the good things.  Even when life is hard, even when things don't go our way, there is still things in our lives to be grateful for.  Thanks for joining in with me week after week developing this in our own individual lives.  

- dinner with Hubby's sis and brother in law ~ it is our tradition between us four to go out for supper for each of our birthdays.  It's a way we've found to stay connected as our families have grown and life is busy.  Because it was Hubby's birthday they treated us at Hubby's choice of restaurant which happens to be a favorite of all of ours.  I'm thankful we have this time together each year with them.  

~ a warm home ~ with the weather getting very cold I'm so thankful for a nice warm home.  I never want to take that for granted.

~ crockpot meals ~ and with the weather getting cold, crockpot meals start to become a staple around here.  I'm thankful for this little appliance and the comfort foods that it cooks up for us.  It's so easy to just put everything in it in the morning or early afternoon and have dinner ready and waiting after a long day of work.

~ work Christmas party ~ I usually dread these things and since both Hubby and I are self-employed we haven't had to attend one in at least 10 years or more.  Well this year the agency I contract with decided they were having one.  At first I didn't want to go but it turned out to be a fun evening and I came home with a nice raffle prize.  

~ popcorn and movie ~ after running around and doing my usual Saturday chores and visiting my mom, I came home to find Hubby had made a big batch of his popcorn.  His popcorn is the absolute best.  We settled down with big bowls to watch a movie and just had a much needed restful evening at home.  

What have been your favorite blessings this week?
