Thankful Thursday

Today, I am exceptionally thankful for

1. A car! We have one and share it between the two of us. And I am ever so grateful that we don't have to walk everywhere. I'm even more grateful for all those wonderful people that drive me places like CBS, Bible Study, and random days out.

2. Snow. I know most of you out there are anti-winter, but I must say, given the choice to play in the snow or play in the slush, or even the barren brown winter grass, I'll choose snow hands down every time. I love the stuff, maybe because it reminds me that my sins have been washed away, or maybe because it's like sand but without the uncomfortable grit.

3. Coffee. I don't need it, but I definitely am thankful for not only the beverage, but the conversations that it allows. How many times have I been able to sit with my mom and talk about real stuff over coffee? I can't even count.

4. The USPS! I love mail! And I am thankful that I can put things in a box and they will be delivered. What would life be like if I had to hand deliver all my packages? I'd be spending a LOT of time on the road.

What are you Thankful for this Thursday?

Tasty Tuesday: Roasted Broccoli

I ran across this recipe on Pinterest the other day that was labeled " The Best Broccoli Of Your Life. " I normally either steam our broccoli in the microwave or saute it with olive oil and red pepper flakes on the stove top. I decided this would be something to try. I did the salt, pepper and olive oil part of the recipe. I didn't have the majority of the other ingredients. In fact, all I had was a little bit of Parmesan  It was wonderful. Not the best broccoli of my life, but honestly, it was pretty close. And if I had the lemon juice and all that jazz, it may very well be the best. What have you been eating lately?

Together is a Beautiful Place by Bailey T. Hurley

  Have you ever wanted to be a better friend or been stumped by how to make your friendships more meaningful? If so, you might want to pick up a copy of Together is a Beautiful Place. Hurley does an excellent job of sharing ways to connect with people that you know and how to easily take your relationships from surface level to deep and meaningful parts of your life. One of my favorite parts of the book is when Hurley incorporates surveys and other data to give insight into relationship building. She shares that it takes 90 hours of social interaction to consider someone a friend. When you’re only seeing each other in passing, it will take much longer than when you carve out time to specifically be with people.  Overall, Together is a Beautiful Place is an encouraging and helpful read. Exactly what I needed as I continue to make friends in life.  I received a copy of this book through NetGalley for the purpose of review. I’m never required to say nice things about books but I’m always
