Thankful Thursday #195!!

"Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
My hope comes from Him.
Truly, He is my rock and my salvation;
He is my fortress, I will not be shaken." 
~Psalm 62:5-6

Today, I am grateful to God for...

1.  Family who feel like friends! ❤ ...Happy day-after-her-birthday to my closest cousin, Kristin!!  So grateful for our friendship, and happy to have her training for the November Route 66 Half with me!

2.  Friends who feel like family! ❤

3.  Katherine Claire, who turned 3 on Tuesday (which we celebrated last weekend - fun times)!

*Also, thanks to Mom for wrapping these gifts for me! =)

4.  Still feeling loved and happy and at home "in the 918" with Tulsa friends! ❤

5.  Also feeling loved and happy and at home "in the 405" with the fam! lol  *Thankful for fun with the niece and nephews... doing the Pitch Perfect cups thing with K-Faith and Jace showing me his new golf clubs! =)

6.  Debra, our lead Intern Supervisor at Restore, who celebrated her 71st birthday yesterday!!  Pic = Carson, Hannah, Madison, me, Angel, Debra... Jacey, Jill, and Avery (Debra and part of the ever-rotating intern team). ❤

7.  Getting to see cute baby Asher again last weekend!  He was mildly traumatized by Jace's mohawk - he touched it and started crying, which was super cute and kinda funny.  He recovered quickly, and the kids all loved holding him! =)

8.  A Cheesecake Factory brunch with the fam on the final day of June... fun and delicious!

9.  Kristin and Frankie helping this baby crow... I seriously debated holding it just for the shock value of the photo, but I couldn't do it - crows terrify me (I think of them plucking out the guys' eyes in The Passion).  But still, I'm glad Kristin cares for them enough to risk that and/or angering their parents and getting dive-bombed! lol

10.  Mindfulness walks inspired by Mel (the Launch group project is a 10-minute silent outdoor walk every day this week).  It's been good timing for me as I'm praying and working to recenter and realign my nervous system!

Happy 4th of July, friends and fam!!  Yay for being off work today and tomorrow - a last-minute gift from Judge Brockman!  And yay for hanging out with family tonight (my first post-surgery swim + cookout + TAFB fireworks at Mom and Dad's) and again with friends this weekend (Wilson pool party and neighborhood fireworks show)!  Have a fantastic day and weekend ahead!! ❤
