Thankful Thursday

Some weeks are harder than others when it comes to finding things for the Thankful Thursday post, but this week it was easy. (I hope you don’t get the impression that I don’t always have things to be thankful for, because I do. But life has it’s ups and downs, you know, and sometimes the things for which to be thankful are more easily seen or more easily shared.)
This week I purchased a new car, and so far I’m quite happy with it. I’m thankful for the car; I’m thankful that I had the resources to buy it. I had told my sons exactly what I wanted in a car, right down to the model and color. Of course, I was willing to be flexible and willing to be persuaded that my preferences weren’t the best thing for me. Also, I needed a car immediately, so I’d have to take what was available here right now rather than order a car and wait a few weeks for it to be shipped. But although the dealership had only one car in the model I wanted, it was the exact color I’d specified—what I call gun metal gray, but they call something else. So hooray for that, and a big thank you to my heavenly Father who controls even the colors of cars.
I’m thankful that my domain host finally fixed whatever was wrong that caused my site to return an open DNS page. I hate dealing with tech support over the phone, mostly because I hate waiting on hold for a few minutes, let alone an hour or more. And I waited twice yesterday, but hey, now everything’s back right and for that I’m relieved and thankful to God who worked things out in the end and kept me from getting frustrated.
I’m thankful that God made the seasons and causes the sun to rise and set at just the right time. I’m thankful for the longer daylight hours and the increased energy that gives us all.
I’m thankful for a day home alone. There’s been a lot of coming and going and hanging out around here lately, so I’m thankful for peace and quiet whenever I get it.
How about you? For what are you thankful?
Throughout this year I’m planning to post a few thoughts of thanksgiving each Thursday along with Kim at the Upward Call and others.

Yay for a new car, Rebecca!
And I'm right there with you in loving those home all alone days!!! I love my family and friends but I need big chunks of alone time too.
