Thankful Thursday #278

It has been a few weeks since I last did a Thankful Thursday. I struggled to remember to write the past month. I want to blame working on the birthday challenge; the reality is it's not a habit these days. I think about it on Saturdays.  

Then, finally sitting down to write a months worth of thankfulness has been daunting. However, when I think about today and this week I have many blessings. Here's what I am thankful for:

1. My church family, the people that make us glad to live in Kingston
2. The cat being cute and calling me to the couch
3. Making camping reservations and finding a site for June 30th this late
4. Date night: Alex took me to see a 25th anniversary showing of Iron Giant, which I had never seen, it was perfect on a day when I cried multiple times
5. Movie popcorn and candy
6. Receiving my first Lord of the Rings virtual walk postcard.
7. A day of board games
8. Hot water
9. Hearing stories of God moving and lives transformed
10. Watching an inspirational movie with friends on Sunday
11. The gift of gluten-free treats
12. We found a new rental unit and signed the lease
13. Finishing a delightful book
14. Finding a solution to a problem that overwhelmed me
15. Alex for support and editing of the birthday challenge blog writing 
16. Walks with Alex
17. A successful attempt at making a gluten-free chicken garlic parm pizza
18. Ukulele practice time and growing in my limited skills
19. Finding the Finch app, it's like a Tamagotchi only you take care of your virtual pet by taking care of you. Only few days in but I can see it being a helpful tool
20. Watching lighting out my window
