Thank you to the lady who gave me her grocery cart when I couldn't find a quarter to get one out of the stall myself.
Thank you pre-cooked chicken. I know what is for dinner tonight.
Thank you to the pharmacist who assured me the body is a powerful thing and can heal itself from many things...just be patient and give it time.
Thank you to the wonderful Mom who took my Sweet Girl for a 3 hour play date while BlueEyes was at Gymnastics. Hubby and I snuck in shopping and dinner for two.
Thank you to the garbage men who threw my pail into the middle of the lawn this week instead of letting it roll down the road as usual.
Thank you Banana Republic for your clearance rack.
Thank you Theatre group for cancelling this weeks class. One less thing.
Thank you to the group of 20 year olds who gave me a whistle as I walked out of Tim Hortons.
Sigh. Sometimes as you battle life in suburbia, it's the little things that get you through.

You are right... it is the small things that get us through. Getting a whistle from a group of 20 year olds would at the very least coax a smile out of me. :)
Oh man, Tim Hortons! Now my mouth is watering.
What an awesome list, I love it.
You're so right... it's the small things. Now then Banana Republic... when are you going to open a branch near me... with a sale rack??
Love this post!!
I love short and shallow!!!!
Have a great day. Suz
Sounds like a good week.
Thank you for reminding me to appreciate the good things in life, no matter how small.
Glad to see that things have turned around since your last post! Lady Luck must be smiling down at you right now, might be a good time to buy a lotto ticket!

Thank you for writing to us everyday! It's one of the best things we get for free.

It truly is the little things. But getting a whistle ranks big in my book. If you're not screaming MOM, you're doing something right.
Amen to that! So true!
Oh, honey, that is such a sweet post.....what a relief to find gratitude for the little things :))
xo
blessings indeed :)
So true! I wish I had found the Banana Republic clearance rack!! :)
Oh that last one would have me walking with a spring in my step for sure :) I so understand the being thankful something was canceled too.
lovely post!
You are so friggin' cute.
I hear that. Those pre-cooked chickens, who ever makes those is my hero and savior!
Indeed. I would love to borrow the whistling 20-year olds please ;-)
Love that "short and shallow" !
love it!
Yes, I am all about precooked food too! you are so right, it is all about the little things!
Cute site;)
Isn't it amazing how little things can mean so much! We all need unexpected attention and short cuts...as often as we can get it.
I definitely agree! It is the little things, like getting a moment to yourself to drink a cup of hot tea or latte. It's the little things, for sure.
I love how you grab life's moments and boil them down to tasty morsels like this, stuff we can all relate to... I'm putting your button on my blog, girl :)
wait..you have to pay for shopping carts? Ugh! Truly..thank goodness for the gal that gave you hers!
Banana Republic has sales? Like affordable sales?
Whistling dixie, you hot, hot thang!
Terrific post! It is nice to be thankful..
Love to you.

Where in the h-e-double hockey sticks are you shopping that you need to pay for a grocery cart? It seems to me they should want to hand you over three carts so you will be tempted to buy more. Idiots! And BTW, I have never seen a picture of you, but I just assumed you were a little milf mama. God, the last time a 20 year old even looked back at me, I think I had a boob hanging out or something. And he wasn't looking to gawk, he was just nice enough to point it out.
I still laugh everytime I haer about someone having to pop a quarter in for a cart. Or buggy as we call them down here in the deep south. We get ours for free, but my family up north has to dish out for thiers as well!
Its good to appreciate little things in life. lol
I love posts like this that remind us to be grateful for the little things. Because, truth be told, when those little things add up it can make a BIG difference!
Amen for a cooked chicken and the clearance racks!
don't you just loooove banana republic... i do!!
Ahhhhhhhh, I still enjoy a good whistle too!
I love the whistling 20 y/o s!
ahhhhh, 20 year olds! I remember when....
I just discovered pre-cooked chicken. I feel like I've been enlightened.
