I’m quite thankful for the world of blogging, for days like today when I just don’t feel like being social or leaving the house. I will be taking the kids out to the gym today to see their new best friend, one of our neighbors. They just love her. Then we’re getting haircuts, the rest of the evening I’ll be going around the blog sharing my thankfulness of all of you.
Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the
majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.
NIV 1 CH 29:11
I’m quite thankful right now for the move that God provided us with last September. We have a wonderful neighborhood and awesome neighbors. We live close to grocery stores and can have pizza delivered to our door. I’m a huge fan of Pizza, I spent six years working for one pizza company or another. My children are absolutely the biggest blessing in the world.
I wanted to spend a little time thanking some blogging friends who have made great things possible by teaching me something or helping me with an opportunity or two.
This is Christine, From Dates To Diapers or @YoungMommy, Lori A Cowboys Wife, My Wooden Spoon or @Acowboyswife, and of course Stacy From Mom Central or @momcentral. I met the three of these powerful women last July at the Sears/Kmart Home Design Summit for Bloggers. Christine is quite a voice on twitter (not to mention her blog and everywhere else she writes) and often retweets my tweets and I can’t thank her enough for her help. Lori, has been answering questions since I began blogging in 2008. She is one of the sweetest Texas Mommies you will ever meet. Stacy and her company allowed me to be a Frigidaire Test Drive Mom this year and it was so much fun and a privilege. She often has other campaigns that she shares with mommy bloggers, but if you ever get the chance to listen to her, DO IT. One, she’s a crack up, Two, in between all of the jokes and laughter she pours out great advice. All three of these women do. I’m grateful for Sears for allowing me the opportunity to meet these girls. It is through encouragement from women like these that I stay out of depression. I find myself constantly struggling with depression, even today I feel like it’s a little worse than normal. So I find myself writing my way through it and remembering a happy time.
My thankfulness isn’t complete every week unless I also mention how thankful I am for my children, even when they are screaming at each other. This week we have been blessed with good health. Thank you God for everything you do in my life.
I too love the blogging community. The support is amazing. Great post reflecting on your blessings. Always puts things in perspective.
Hi Lynsey,
I would be stuck in the floor on my back without this wonderful community and people like you that stop by and leave a comment. I really appreciate it.
I couldn’t agree more!
Hi Kristin,
Thanks for stopping by last week. How do you stay so cheerful living in the Pacific Northwest. I wrote this past last week because I was hoping that following your example would work. I was sad and determined to be cheerful, but it didn’t work. I’m doing better today but the sun is out. It is quite beautiful today, just don’t know what to do on the off days. I sure do appreciate you though!
I love the blogging community too!
I just wanted to stop by to say Thank-you for commenting on my UBP10 post! I’s so glad you love our vector header on our blog!
I was overwhelmed by all the lovely people who came and left such kind comments!
It was because of YOU that my party was such a success!

I feel the same way about the Ultimate Blog Party, it’s so nice that people are are still coming by every now and then; and just when I needed it the most. I was having a bad day last week and greatly appreciate that you came by to leave me a comment.
Yes! Blogging buddies have made a world of difference in my life too. What is best is you can do it all from your PJ’s! LOL.
That’s the best part for me too, the fact that I can do it in my pj’s
I alos love how all of us bloggers stick together. We visit each other’s blogs & share stories recipes & much more.
You do share a lot, Thanks for stopping by and leaving me some love. I really needed it when I wrote about thankfulness for bloggers last week. Your site is a great one too.
I love blogging too. Especially because I get to make friends with some great people like you
You are too sweet to say that. I like blogging for the community too. I have so many great supporters like you.
(((HUGS)))) They definitely are some great ladies and friends to have. I have struggled with depression in the past as well, some days are easier than others but they do get better!
Thanks Cat,
I wrote this post trying to get myself out of depression and it really didn’t work. I was hoping that by being positive I would snap out of it. I find that living in WA is so depressing for me because of all the rain. Today, the sun is out and I feel like a new person. I wish the sun would come out every day.
I really appreciate that you take the time to come and visit my blog, I notice that you visit a lot of blogs. I think I’m finally ready to give up all of these unpaid ops and just focus on blogging and community more. It will take time to fully transfer over to the light side.
I look to you and your blog for inspiration on what Mom Start could be more like. My writing is down a little too, I think it’s do to spending so much time inside with two toddlers. Thanks for visiting!
What a sweet thankfulness post!
Wonderful post!
Kas
