A Thankful Chalkboard

DSC_0661I was having a rough morning…and as I looked out of my kitchen window, I saw two adorable little girls waving at me from across the street.  My sweet neighbor girls who never fail to say hello.  No matter my mood, those girls put a smile on my face.

And then I was reminded…

Of the small blessings in life…

Like friendly neighbors…

Because sometimes I take for granted what a HUGE blessing that is…

Which prompted this…

And then suddenly my day wasn’t so bad after all…DSC_0660 It is all about perspective, right?

What are you thankful for?

    Great things to be thankful for! One small thing I am thankful for is frozen peppermint hot chocolate at Starbucks. Oh. My. Word. It's positively sinful.

    My dear Ashley, I'm thankful for ~~ YOU! I couldn't have asked for a better wife for my son. You're such an encourager.

    You're "Thankful" chalkboard is a fabulous idea...(just a little Christmas Hint...."Thankful" chalkboards for all the girls on your Christmas list -- it would be great for even the youngest ones) :)

    Amen Sista! (said with my New yorker fake accent)
    In the last year I've been reminded that even the fact that I'm able to have kids is a blessing, having a home, etc.
    And yes, having a clean toilet is on my list too.
    I love your chalkboard BTW

    (Among other things) I'm thankful for chalkboard contact paper and the cute little girly girl that clued me in on the nifty idea. ;-)

    I love that.
    We have a neighbor who is so sweet and precious and her daughter was born w/ a lot of disabilities and God quickly reminded me that I have 4 healthy girls. I am s.o. t.h.a.n.k.f.u.l. for that.

    P.S. I am in love w/ chalkboards right now. I love your idea! Its great to be reminded of the blessings we have.
    xoxo

    Ashley, you have the best ideas! And I love your new header - I haven't been on the blogs for about a week and just saw your new look.

    I am always thankful for my family, good health and good friends.
