Happy First Thursday of the New Year! Happy First Thankful Thursday of 2019! I’m pooped – I haven’t been feeling myself all week, so much so that I didn’t open the little gifts I kept separate of my Happiness Box 2018 (to save space), but I’ll open them up this weekend. I’ll read my notes more carefully too when I’m feeling better; I also hope to get a scrapbook this weekend too. Hopefully inventory sales start soon!
Anyway, the first Thankful Thursday in 2019 brings a lot of gratitude. Someone gave me a bottle of water at my full-time job today and she said I can help myself anytime. At lunch, I ran into a friend that I haven’t seen in six months and we walked together for 15 minutes. We caught up and it was so nice seeing Billy! He agreed to a selfie for my Happiness Box and we made a walk date for when it gets nicer.
When I arrived at my part-time library job, I was informed that I won the Booksmas Tree “Guess How Many Books” contest and won a free entree from Choolah. It looks like they have GF options and I can’t wait to use it. It’ll be my first time dining there since going GF. I’m grateful.
When I arrived home, I also received a surprise package from a friend in the UK. Katie sent me a stationary set with a nice note. I am thankful for Katie’s friendship and I am grateful for the thoughtful gift.
What are you thankful for today?

Hi, Jessica Marie!
Happy first Thankful Thursday of 2019, dear friend! Seems like a bunch of us are struggling with health problems at the moment. I got sick the day after Christmas because, on the 25th, Mrs. Shady sand I visited our toddler grandson and he was running a fever. He climbed all over me that day and I think I caught his bug.
I am delighted that caring friends came out of the woodwork this week to show how much they care about you. A gift as simple as a bottle of water still means a lot because it is thoughtful. Billy gave you his time. Katie sent you stationery and a note. To top it off you won a free entree from Choolaah. You must be sure to take pics of the Indian cuisine while you are dining there. I looked at their website and the food looks delicious.
I am thankful that my head cold is easing somewhat and thankful for loyal friends like you. I hope you feel better soon and I wish you a happy Friday and a great first weekend of 2019, dear friend JM!
