'Ding'

Sometimes there are moments where you stop what you are doing and say to yourself "You know, I am really freakin thankful for..."
Well maybe you dont say it quite like that...but its a bit of a 'ding' lightbulb in your head that you really have some very valid things to be thankful for. I had that this morning on the way to work.

I was toodling along on the toll road to work and realized that this time last year, I was in a job that payed well, that I didnt enjoy and that had the overhanging stress of layoffs due to lack of work...hmm....I am on my way to a job I absolutely love, pays enough to make ends meet and encourages my artwork.
'Ding' number one.

I have a loving and understanding husband that is willing to roll with the punches that the world gives me. (he wasnt a husband this time last year, hehe)
'Ding' number two.

I am part of a wonderful group of people (Florida Etsy Street Team) who encourage our artistic abilities and another group who allows us to sell them in a nice online venue (Etsy).
'Ding' number three.

I have my health to be able to go to work. To be able to keep creating.
'Ding' number four...

So that was my highly reflective morning.
What are your 'Dings'?

What a nice, positive post.
I am thankful for my husband when I don't feel like strangling him. (hahaha).
