Thank goodness it’s Friday! At the end of the week, it’s nice to stop and take a moment to share the things I’m thankful for from the past week. It’s a great way to appreciate the big things and the small things.

1. I am thankful for the great week I just had with my family at my parent’s lake house. It was wonderful to spend time with my parents, my sister, my brother and their families.

2. I am thankful to have access to Lake Michigan so we could go swimming, boating and kayaking.

3. I am thankful for all the beautiful sunsets we saw over the water.

4. I am thankful for beach bonfires and s’mores.

5. I am thankful for the woods around my parents’ house so we could explore on our hikes and bike rides.

6. I am thankful to be home, after being away for nine days.

7. I am thankful to have cell phone and Internet access again, after being without for nine days.

Inspired by this ongoing series of posts.

Hope you have a few things to be thankful for this week.
