A few things that fill my heart with gratitude...
*Bright explosions in the sky
*Bug repellent
*Calamine and band aids for when we forget about the bug repellent (and the polka dot girl I put to bed each night whose sensitive skin seems to attract the little suckers)
*Days spent at the beach
*Life jackets
*Aloe, although it can't take away a lobster red sunburn, it does soothe
*Photographs and memories
*The public library. My family has been enjoying plenty of summer library programs.
*Ok, I'm even thankful for cockroaches. The kids sure had fun playing with the huge ones the "Bug Guy" Brought in for the last program we attended. They even ate a few bugs. (I am NOT joking!) I, on the other hand, found it conveniently necessary to excuse myself to the restroom right around the time the roaches and tarantulas were being brought out.
*I'm thankful for a new job...which will be starting soon (more on that later).
*Green slime, explosions, goggles and lab coats...yes, VBS is on the way.
*And I'm especially thankful that my family is a refuge for me. (more thoughts on that later too)
What are you thankful for today?

VBS at your church sounds really interesting - lab-coasts? Intriguing!!!
Agh - bugs - good that we don't have too many mosquitos around here :)
Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart with us.
Blessings to you and your precious family.
I'm so excited...a new job!!
It sounds like a wonderful summer out there!! That trip to the Black Hills gets better and better with each post!
Have a great one Heather!
Enjoy the summer...we only have about 4 weeks left and then school will start.
Have a fabulous day!

I understand this mosquito issue. For some dumb reason they love me too.
Thanks for sharing!

I loved your list. Boy, we'd do well to be thankful for those seemingly unimportant things huh? At the right time and places, those seemingly unimportant or small things are all of a sudden REALLY BIG! Your post was fun to read.
When you wrote "cockroaches," before I realized it was in reference to an educational bug program, I thought of Corrie ten Boom being urged by Betsy to give thanks for the fleas....
We have VBS coming up soon too. I've done everything from crafts to coordinating the whole things, but I love teaching the music with my Hubby. Our third year teaching together - I love it!
Have a great weekend!
