Thankfulness Mondays

Now I realize that today is Monday. But, that is why I wanted to start posting things I am grateful for on Mondays. It is the day that most people struggle with having a ho hum attitude or being depressed. I used to do Thankful Tuesdays because well...it rhymed...lol. It’s the melancholy in me I guess. But then I thought about it and decided Mondays were a much better day....though every single day is a perfect day to be thankful on.


So, a story first about my amazing husband and how thankful I am for him. He kidnapped me for our anniversary and had my hair, etc. all done. (a blog post for another time for those of you haven’t heard this awesome story!) My new do needed the help of a few tools to make it look like what the young lady in the salon had created. We were heading out to a business seminar and he volunteered to go get me some hairspray. Not only did he volunteer to go get hairspray for me without me asking, he went to a beauty salon and showed the girls a picture of my hairdo and told them to show him everything that was needed to style it that way. :) And guess what? He bought it all and brought it home to me. It was the sweetest thing! He is always doing things like that!! I’m so blessed.
