Good morning and happy Thankful Monday!

Today, I am thankful for the following:

1. I’m thankful for my mother-in-law mom and sister-in-law sister taking time out of their weekend to help me pick out paint and figure out a plan for painting one of the rooms in my house.  I was totally lost and they gave me some really good advice and guidance.  Now I think I’ve found my color!
2. I’m thankful for dinner out with our good friends, Robert, Crystal, Cria, Megan, and their kiddos.  We got to try out Plaza Azteca which wasn’t too bad for Mexican food in Charlottesville and we had a great time catching up with friends and seeing how much their kids have grown!
3. I’m grateful for a very productive week and weekend.  I’ve been in kind of a lazy winter slump made even worse by the bad cold I had all last weekend and last week so I’m very thankful to finally be feeling better and to squeeze some productivity out of my days.  I finally got all of our Christmas decorations and wrapping materials organized and put away, cleaned the house pretty well, cleaned up the 2 guests rooms and washed all of the linens, and did a ton of laundry.  I still have quite a bit of work to do but I feel like it will be easier to tackle now that I’m on a roll.
4. I’m thankful to be feeling better after one of the worst colds/coughs I’ve had in a long time.  It lasted over a week and I still have a residual cough and congestion but I’m so glad to be feeling and sleeping better.  Hopefully I can avoid all of the other bugs going around for the rest of the season.
5. I’m thankful for a great recommendation from my friend Crystal for a really good stylist at a local salon.  My hair has become so thin and I was in desperate need of a cut and style that would bring back some life to my hair.  Crystal recommended Sam at the Hair Cuttery in Barracks Road and he did an AMAZING job!  I love my haircut and my hair feels and looks alot healthier!

Have a great week and remember to be thankful!
