It is that time of week again. Time to count down our thankfulness. I have participated in this hop for more than a year now and it never gets old.
It is especially great this week because I have made some great blogging strides.
1. I was able to blog more.
2. I was featured on BlogHer for a piece that I wrote about #WhyIStayed.
3. I was able to get out in my upstate community and take nice photos for my blog of my family enjoying life.
4. If you read my piece on BlogHer, you will begin to see even more why I love my wonderful husband.
5. I experience great family times that I captured on film. The only regret, I didn’t feel well enough to post for Wordless Wednesday. I will post just one picture here and go ahead and prepare my Wordless Wednesday post for next week.
6. Fall scenes and decorations are going up everywhere. I can’t wait til the trees start changing colors, and we take our annual fall drive.
7. My daughter is doing well in school. She went to her first Fellowship of Christian Athletes meeting today. She is looking forward to a special beach trip. I might go as chaperone. (She doesn’t know yet. )
8. I am attending a great conference in October: Allume.
9. I am looking forward to meeting some great Christian women blogger. I have already virtually met three ladies that I am going to room with. Here are blogs. They seem so talented. I can’t wait to meet them in person.

10. My daughter is joining the blogging community. Her site is: The Rose Gallery. I would appreciate it you would visit and encourage her. I am going to try and talk into joining this hop. Maybe we could start a youth version? Just a thought.
Well, it has been exciting week. I have a lot more to accomplish next week. As always, thanks to everyone for their prayers and well wishes. I feel so blessed to be a part of the blogging community.
Joining these hops this week:
I am also planning to link up with more hops that you can find on my weekend and Monday hop pages.
Sounds like a lot of good things are happening in your life, Mary! Congratulations on the BlogHer post. That’s a terrific accomplishment. I see your daughter’s blog here too so I’ll be interested to see her post. It’s nice that she has you to help show her the ropes.
Congrats on being published in Blogher and it was a great piece!
Also I got quite the kick out of my curser turning into a rose… I won’t tell you how long I played with that! Easily amused I am.
congrats mary! BLOGHER is big stuff!
I love it when people take the time to pause and be thankful for all that they’ve been given.
You have much to be thankful for.
Thank you so much for joining my #Blirthdaybash and for taking the time to celebrate with me!
Wishing you a lovely day.

Huge congratulations Mary – it sounds like things are going really well for you with your blogging. That’s brilliant. And the conferences sound like fun – meeting new people is awesome.
I love the happy, family photo you shared, and I see that your daughter DID join this week – I have her blog open in a tab ready to read next. How exciting 🙂
Hi, thanks so much. She is excited every time she gets a new follower. 🙂
