  2. I’m celebrating being able to spend time with my family and my in-laws this weekend. We always have a wonderful time when we are all together!

  3. We are celebrating the good weather and enjoying time together. We thought we’d be iced in after the snow but it warmed up here.

  5. This may seem funny to some, but I’m celebrating the return of Winter. It’s my favorite season and we’ve barely had the season this year (I live in Tennessee).

  6. Celebrating the big doors that have opened for all my family and the growth, uplifting, empowerment we have since we walked through them.???

    • Wow! I’m so proud of you Shoshanna!!! I’m sure that was difficult, but good for you for taking good care of yourself and your girls

  8. Am thankful we got to spend Spring Break with my ailing Mother-in-law. Remember the good times.

    • Aw! I’m sorry she is not doing well, but glad you could spend time with her.

  10. What a fun giveaway! I also love that General Mills has begun producing gluten-free cereals. Although I’m not certain that they understand that gluten-free means the cereals can’t be produced in a factory that also produces gluten, just the fact that they’re trying to be more aware of their customers who can’t have wheat is really encouraging! One of my little ones has Type 1 Diabetes and Celiac Disease, so we’re always looking for gluten-free things to feed him.

    On that note, that’s my big celebration: how many gluten-free options we now have available to us. I could sit and stew that my son has to be gluten free, but instead, I’m opting to see all the blessings available to us on this journey. It’s not always easy to keep a positive outlook, but when I can, it really goes a long way!

    • Yes, I am much happier with all of the GF options available now Julie. Have you tried the new Mission GF tortillas? They taste pretty good, but more importantly, they don’t break when you try to wrap them around your filling. Love that!

  12. God has been a great friend of mine for many years as I’m 81yrs young and have asked many favors from Him and never to let go of my hand. He listens to all our woes and our happy times. I’m a 3 time breast cancer survivor with many other problems but He always holds my hand.Keep your faith look around there far more of great people than there are not I’ve just came upon your blog guess who sent me here. Yes u guess right. Thank you for listening.

    • Hi Barbara! Thanks so much for joining in. I am so happy to hear that you survived breast cancer and I’m honored that you would stop by. Blessings to you!

  13. I’m celebrating today for just being alive! I was diagnosed with breast cancer in mid-October, 2016, and had mastectomy on October 26. Celebrating living!

    • Oh my! I am so glad to hear that you are well Faith. I know you’ve been a reader for a while, but I didn’t know about your struggle.

      • This is my 4th consecutive day of feeling really good, almost like I used to BBC (Before Breast Cancer). I am so thankful. Thank you for your comment. LOVE your blog.

  14. I am celebrating all those beautiful coincidence that makes our life easier: that light that turns green at just the right moment, that piece of furniture going on sale just when you need it. And to those big ones like being online on the same site at the same time to find the love of your life.

  15. I am celebrating life . Over the past two months we have lost 3 family members . One in a tragic accident and two from cancer .

    • I’m so sorry Jan! I can’t imagine what you have been going through, but so glad that you can celebrate life in the midst of it.

  16. Celebrating God’s provision for financial needs and protection during a very difficult and stressful situation our family faced recently

  17. Today I am celebrating family and this weekend my son’s birthday. My dad and step mom are coming here from out of state to visit my son and I today and through the weekend.

  18. I’m grateful I’m finally getting over the flu so I can help take care of my family who is also sick. I’m also thankful for beautiful sunrises and sunsets on most days. I feel it’s another way God shows us his love by giving us such beauty to look at.

    • Yes! I love to look at the sunrise and sunset — they are different every time. Such a gift!

  19. I’m celebrating that we saved our goal amount for a down payment and are starting the process to buy a house! Also, celebrating the warm weather and spending time with my sweet girls.

  22. This recipe sounds amazing! I’m honing to have to try it! I’m celebrating life with god, the moments and time I get to spend with my family and being grateful for the food on our table, clothing on our back and a roof over our heads!

  24. I am celebrating a raise at work, my husbands business increasing by 200% in the last month and all of the blessings God has provided us!

  27. My girls (5 and 2) have been sleeping on mattresses on their floor with their clothes in a plastic organizer and I am celebrating that their beds and dressers are here today! Yay 🙂

  28. I’m celebrating my chickens! I know that sounds weird, but I was just outside feeding them and gathering their eggs and thinking about how happy they make me! (insert giant smiley face here)!

  30. I like your mix idea! I am celebrating the end of my kid’s competition season!! I love watching them succeed but it has been a constant go go go!. 🙂

  31. I am celebrating the opportunity to be home with our new daughter. I didn’t have the opportunity with our boys so I’m extra glad with our new little one.
    Feeling so blessed to be the mom of 3 wonderful kiddos!!

  33. This week has kicked my tail! I’m celebrating because it’s Friday and I survived! Looking forward to a semi-relaxing weekend 🙂

  34. I’m celebrating the fact I’m still breastfeeding my LO. He’s 4 months old, and the beginning was rough going. But together we pushed through and he has doubled his birth weight!

  35. I’m celebrating writing that check for my state taxes. I’m reminded how grateful I am that I CAN write that check since there have been times that I had to make payments due to poor budgeting or unforeseen circumstances. This year I won’t be hard on myself for another failure. I’ll chair dance at my desk and move on and up knowing that I got it right this time. Since my birthday is also on Monday, I’ll celebrate that all weekend long too!

  36. Celebrating just being alive and having a precious family, a comfortable home, living on the family farm in our close-knit community where everybody knows and loves each other–and and having Jesus in my heart! 🙂 I also enjoy my Edison lights strung around my front porch, and sitting out there on the swing each evening watching the sunset. It’s the little things that often bring the most joy. I am truly thankful for all my blessings!

  37. I am celebrating my husband’s birthday this weekend. We are going hiking. I am grateful that we are still hiking while we are in our 50’s.

  39. My daughter and son love each other and enjoy spending time and playing together. They help each other and make each other laugh.

  40. So thankful to our Father for the grace and mercy He has shown to my mother who has been in the hospital for three weeks. She is starting to laugh and smile again which is a clear sign she is healing! Praise God!

  41. Celebrating that my grandmother underwent a successful hip surgery and is doing very well after suffering 2 years from chronic pain related to a first, ineffective surgery. Happy and Relieved 🙂

  42. I am celebrating because I get to see my husband again and it has almost been a year, and the blessing God has given us!!

  43. Celebrating that our son was able to pull off a math test and book report at the same day! Preparing ahead of time paid off! And lastly, for the gift of life, loving family and friends from our God above!

  45. Thankful for God’s provisions. My husband lost his job a little over a year ago. We had to move out of state. At the time we could not sell our home. We both took a big cut in pay and were carrying the mortgage and rent. We will be closing on the sell of our house in a couple of weeks. Some how God has provided for us financially!

  47. I am celebrating because your Joyful Life Planner has helped me to see 2017 as a whole in which to plan goals and track their progress! I am turning 50 this summer and so there are some things I definitely would like to do, such as bike the C&O Canal from Cumberland to Washington DC. I found a fundraiser in July that does just this, so it seems like I can accomplish this Before the big one.

    But, really the greatest celebration today is staying on course with my Bible reading – I am way ahead! If I keep at the pace I am at, I should finish by end of April. Then I can study other things in my Quiet Time with the Lord.

    Again, I attribute the motivation to your Planner and 2016 Review. I may not get it filled out every week, but I am surely hitting targets t hat I had wanted to and in a good timeframe.

    Thank you, Kimberlee! My word this year is Rooted.
    Amy

    • That is so AWESOME Amy! I am so happy to hear that the planner has helped you! I know it really helped me get my act together. Haha!

  48. I’m grateful for finally having the money to pay for an eye exam that I have been needing for about four or five years! Also grateful to be getting my home internet back today! (My son is probably more grateful than I am for that. Lol)

  50. I am so happy that Jesus loves me and that Spring has finally sprung. I do not know if any of you remember the song, ” I am so glad that Jesus loves me”. I am seeing precious little plants come out of the ground. Soon my favorites little purple wild violets will be growing in my yard.They are a favorite from my childhood.

  52. My birthday is on Sunday so we are celebrating all weekend! Kids get out of school early today to start spring break next week!

  70. We are celebrating my son completing his trial period or TaekwonDo and he wants to continue going as a regular student. We have searched all over for something extra curricular that he would be interested in and this gives him exercise (and us when we practice with him) and teaches self control and improved temperament so it is a win-win for us.

  73. YummO looking mix. I”m celebrating that today I got “Yes, your student is doing GREAT” emails from the teachers of both my kiddos recently diagnosed with ADHD. Yay for helpful meds.

  74. I started my week with a new goal of complaining less, complimenting more, and working hard to make a positive attitude contagious. Today was a great day!
