Top Ten Tuesday (14): Things I Am Thankful For

November 26, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: Top Ten Tuesday 9 Comments

 Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish with a different theme every week.

IMG_0376My Family
They are my joy and what makes my life worthwhile.  My kids, my husband, my parents – I love all of you so much.
IMG_3989 - Version 2My Faith
The other source of joy and meaning in my life.
IMG_0001 - Version 2My House
Maybe it’s messy sometimes and maybe it isn’t the nicest house around, but I am always so so grateful that I get to live in my house
IMG_0281Books
I would be sad indeed without any books to read.

“Friendship [is] ‘What? You too? I thought I was the only one.'” – C.S. Lewis
IMG_0036Chocolate
“All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” ― Charles M. Schulz
IMG_4595My Curly Hair
It’s more than just looks. Wearing my hair curly was about accepting who I am. I used to hate my “frizzy” hair, but now I feel so grateful to have it.

I love being able to keep in touch with my family and friends that seem to get farther and farther away from me every year.
IMG_0284Food
I’m grateful that I have food to eat every day. I’m also grateful that I learned how to cook. My family is grateful for that, too.
I’m also grateful that when we found out my 4 year old son had Celiac, we were able to find good food for him to eat. Even a few years ago it would have been a bigger struggle for us than it is now.

I feel so lucky that this is the view I get to see everyday.

 

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?
And Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

    Mmmm…chocolate. Reading a book and eating chocolate (and ok, maybe with some wine)…what great things to be thankful for! Great list!

    Amazing list! I forgot to include my family/dogs on my list because I was too busy fangirling over a certain TV show that I’m thankful for and now I feel silly!

    I am thankful for my books as well. I don’t think I would have made it this far in life without books.

    Great list! My husband just got an iPhone and he’s super grateful for it, too. :) And we’re transitioning off of gluten, so I hear you about how nice it is that GF stuff is more common now.

    I know I’ve told you this, but because you said you’re thankful for it, I just have to say again that I’m jealous of your curly hair! I love it! And, I’m so glad you love it. I know so many people with curly hair that hate their hair and wish theirs was straight. I’m glad you embrace yours. :) Happy Thanksgiving!

      Aw thank you. I know a lot of people that hate their curly hair too. I just want to hug them and tell them they are pretty the way they are.

      Also, I totally want to die my hair purple like you someday :) I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

    Great list and so many wonderful things to be thankful for! I don’t know what I’d do without my wonderful friends and family either. Ahh how’d I forget chocolate! My TTT.

    What a perfect TTT list. You listed all the truly important things in life (you know, books and chocolate) — just kidding. I like how you blended more serious blessings with those that just make life more enjoyable.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

My name is Jessica. I love to read Young Adult and classic literature. I’ve been a book blogger for six years and I haven’t gotten tired of it yet. I’m a very curious reader. Writing about all the questions and thoughts I had while reading a book is the best hobby ever.  Read more….
