Comments on: Thankful Thursday – Ringing in a New Decade http://www.fromthehorsesback.com/2010/01/thankful-thursday-ringing-in-a-new-decade/ Tips, Tricks, and Tales... Mon, 28 Jun 2010 12:04:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: michelle http://www.fromthehorsesback.com/2010/01/thankful-thursday-ringing-in-a-new-decade/comment-page-1/#comment-744 michelle Fri, 08 Jan 2010 19:56:28 +0000 http://www.fromthehorsesback.com/?p=1019#comment-744 Thanks, Hazem! I like to think that I can spread a bit of positivity around once in awhile. Or so I hope! =) Juliette, I know you have to be feeling pretty lucky right now to be missing the horrific cold up north! And your wonderful mom is so great to take care of the boys for you while you're gone. I'm glad you're having a great trip! Thanks for coming back, Lisa! I've missed you! =) It hasn't been that long since the site update - just since Christmas. I'm glad you like it! Billie, I love that photo too. Something about it is just so peaceful and serene. Lisa, you are very right. Even if we're having the worst day, there is still something to be gained from it, even if it is just the lesson we learn. Remembering that is the key to having a happy life. And YES, I do miss the snow - in some ways. Not the shoveling, driving, freezing part of it. And certainly not the "horsey" part of it (although I'm quite enjoying all the snow photos I'm seeing on all the blogs). But I miss the quiet breathing of the world after a snowstorm. I miss seeing my tracks in the snow and watching my dog frolic in it. I miss wood fires and icicles. Hmmm....am I seeing a winter trip up north in my future? Thanks, Hazem!

I've found that doing Thankful Thursday keeps me really focused on looking for the good in everything and that goes a long way towards making a happier life. Hope you enjoy participating! Jenn, it may not LOOK like those photos here in Florida, but it sure brings back memories of being in the cold and snowy north. Yesterday I had to actually chip ice off my windshield! Brrr...My condolences to all you northerners! GHM, thanks for the support! There is a lot to be said for enjoying what we have in life. Striving towards goals is nice, but it's important to remember at the end of the day what we actually HAVE. You have a great perspective on this. Arlene, I love that you're thankful for your snuggies and cocoa! That reminds me, I'm really thankful for my plush comforter that I've been toting all around the house for the week! Nothing beats being snuggled up under that thing! Kristen, Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursdays movement and thanks also for linking up to me!

We all do have at least something to be thankful, if only we dig a little deeper (and not into the snow! lol!) The photos you chose are gorgeous! Do you ever miss the snow? ~Lisa Thanks for the reminder to be thankful. We all do have at least something to be thankful, if only we dig a little deeper (and not into the snow! lol!)

I am down here with you all in Florida, but my Mom is seeing scenes like your photos. I am so thankful that I have her to take care of the boys. I can relax and know they are well cared for while I am away. Thanks Michelle, again, for reminding us all to be grateful.

As always, beautiful pictures. It is true about the cold. Really makes us appreciate how good we have it most of the time here in Florida. Meantime, I am keeping my snuggies and cocoa handy. And I guess I am thankful to have those! Enjoyed your post. As always, beautiful pictures. It is true about the cold. Really makes us appreciate how good we have it most of the time here in Florida.

I love snowy scenes (from inside mostly). I hear from friends and relatives of mine that you're having some cold weather down there. I'm sure it won't last. Isn't it nice to have a few weeks off to just play. Good for you, your perspective on the new decade to come is very upbeat and I'm sure you'll accomplish great things with that mindset. As always on a Thankful Thursday I'm just thankful to be able to do what I want at this stage of the game and enjoy my animals and family. Your pictures are beautiful.
