Mornin’ Mornin’ to ya
I’m in a very thankful mood this morning.
I’m thankful for: my friends and family, Dexter the beast, delicious food, sunshine, books, the ability to be able to run, bike and play, laughing so hard my abs get a workout, vegan chocolate chip oatmeal cookies, fragrant tea in the morning, the three states closest to my heart (California, South Carolina and Georgia), planes so I can fly around and hug people, cornbread with honey, music to dance and sing to, goofy jokes, Laura Ingalls Wilder, t-shirts so worn and loved that the cotton has worn thin, my stuffed rabbit, the ability to travel to amazing places, fresh fruits and veggies……
and Trader Joe’s waffles!
With maple syrup, egg whites and soy sausage.
What are YOU thankful for?

Awww, seeing your ‘thankful for’ list just put me in a better mood! Thanks!
I’m thankful for this post! Love, love, love it! I’m thankful for my supportive mom and dad, my two wonderful sisters, my boyfriend, the vacation he and I are planning to Vegas, coffee!, beautiful summer weather (and finally being able to run outside), peanut butter (almond butter, cashew butter!), my daily bowl of oatmeal, the positive quotes I’ve posted around my desk area, books, my two jobs, and my wonderful evening of wine and pizza planned with my best friend this evening!
have a wonderful day, everyone!
I love your enthusiasm this morning!! I am grateful that today is not a work day, that my daughter is at her grandparents place, and that my husband isn’t asking me to make him pancakes.
I love this post! I am thankful for my friends and family, being strong and fit, the sunshine and weather today, finding Bikram yoga and the peace of mind it gives me, good food. I could go on!
Jenna, I wanted to let you know that you’ve inspired another blog! I started my own because I love visiting yours, Kath’s, and a few more so often. If you get a chance, I’d really appreciate a view.
I’ve made your peanut butter steal cut oats a few times– they’re totally awesome. Thank you!
I’m thankful for so many things everyday… topping today’s list is how thankful I am that my body is forgiving me for drinking an obscene amount of beers last night

I am grateful for a phone call from an old friend, amazingly delicious (and cheap) veggies, and that my “weekend” begins tonight!
I’m thankful for my family, they have inspired me and loved me unconditionally over the years. I wouldn’t be the person that I am today without them. I am also thankful for nice weather, good food and wine!

I’m thankful also for a fantastic husband, family, friends, my little baby (my cat), and for a healthy life, and healthy food.
Listening to my kids outside laughing and soaking up summer.
Three awesome kids and one fabulous daughter-in-law and the wonderful new daughter-in-law who is joining our family next Saturday!
I want you to know that I have kept the post of fitting back into your Anthropologie dress to motivate me as I have tried to make sure that I fit into all of the dresses I am wearing for the wedding festivities.
That reminds me of the church kids song, I got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in me heart. I am thankful for being able to move. The warm weather (at last!) living in Southern California, my husband and all the military men and women we are remembering this weekend.
I am thankful for my wonderful parents, the fun we have together, my boyfriend, my health, my job, the sunshine, my friends, coffee and good cake…my life!
I am thankful for having teeeth! How else would I be able to eat?!?
I’m thankful for SO much.
My family, my friends, my house, my health, my husband, my safety, my bloggie friends, being able to go on vacations, the beauty of the world and that I can see it, the sounds of the ocean and birds and that I can hear them, the sun, the rain, comfy beds…. wow and I’m not even close to being done!
I love this! I’m going to be off to be joyful now; thanks for passing on the encouragement
That’s the important thing. To find the things you DO have in life and be grateful for them.
Not just dwelling on the negative things or what you don’t have or the jealously over what someone else has.
Be thankful for what you have and then work on what you want in your future.
Acknowledge others and those blessings and move on.
Extremely grateful for my son who born when I was 17, for my mother, and being athletic and artistic by nature. For living in Carmel-by the-Sea, and eventually in Aix-en-Provence since my son is a French citizen and lives in Europe. Grateful for flowers and beautiful trees, for being insanely in love with California and France, Golden Retrievers and cats, for Farmer’s Markets, Whole Foods & TJs as love to cook, and BOOKs. For UCLA, the travel have done, for great film, music, and well-designed things like my Apple laptop, and for girly stuff like charm bracelets and Coco Chanel perfume. And as Jackie Kennedy said am grateful that ‘Above all I am first a woman.’
Awwww great post! =)
Pics of the “stuffed rabbit” ?
I love this post!
I’m thankful for the opportunity to do a job I love, two dogs to cheer me up when I’m sad, a wonderful Hunni and my mother who is my biggest support.
I’m thankful for summer, for Michigan, for my family, for new friends, and the SUNSHINE!
I am thankful for my amazing family, friends and my incredible fiance. I am thankful for the amazing weather we are having here in Toronto. I am thankful my injury is healing, so I can take long walks along the river, bask in the glory of the warm spring day and take pictures of the beauty. I am thankful for the happiness I have found so far this year, which has far surpassed my expectations.

The three day weekend and the weather!
Ahhh, I love your list. I think it’s a good thing to write out what we’re thankful for on ‘paper’ from time to time – just as a simple reminder. Thanks for the positive morning post. It made me smile. I’m thankful for this beautiful sunny weekend in Sonoma County with my family : )
My Passport and Homeport ( Maui )

Jenna,
I stumbled across your blog last January and I’ve been reading ever since! I spent the year studying abroad in Italy, where I learned to appreciate and LOVE great food, and your blog has reinforced and inspired me to try new foods, restaurants, recipes, and break out some of the pots and pans in the kitchen! (As well as incorporate some exercise in! I’ll be running my first half marathon in October with some friends!) I’m thankful to have discovered your blog, and I hope you continue to do what you’re doing, cause I think it’s (and you are) great! You’re inspiring more people then you probably know!

I’m grateful for my parents, my family, my health. And working from home tomorrow, wearing white pants for the first time ever, and hot hot summer days.
I am so thankful for my parents and how they have continuously supported me in every way possible.
I attended a wedding this weekend- SO I have to say I’m thankful for great friends and LOVE!
Those tulips are gorgeous! I’m thankful for my husband, my family and an awesome race today at the Indy 500! Hooray for Franchitti!
I am thankful for my health, for living in a country where I know that I am (relatively) safe, for supportive friends and family. I’m thankful for people who encourage being thankful
Happy Sunday!
I am greatful for my parents, memorial day tomorrow, the ability the enjoy food without freaking out about calories, the treatment facility that saved my life, and my new friends that are always there for me and dont judge me about my past struggles.
Quick Question Jenna, Are we ever going to meet the Boyfriend?? Also, are you going to give a full tour of the new apartment??
im thankful for being healthy and happy.
I’m thankful for my husband, my dog, my lovely house, my family and friends, being able to travel and sunshine!
Oh how I love thankful posts.
Right at this very moment, I’m thankful for the sunshine, family, and dark (very dark) roasted coffee beans.
I am thankful to have so many people around me that I love. I’ve been far away from home over the years, and although at first the idea of moving back home wasn’t appealing, I forgot that happiness is enjoyed best when shared.
……Oh, and living so close to fresh seafood at the Jersey coast!
I am so thankful for my amazing family – they are incredible!
I misread your thankful things and almost commented “Where, oh where do I get my own Laura Ingles Wilder tshirt?” I would totally rock that. Maybe we should get into t-shirt designing together.
My friends, family and the beach top my list!!! I loved your line “and planes so I can fly around and hug people” – haha love it!
I love that line too, and second it!
I love that line too, and second it!
Thanks for this Jenna. I am so pathetic that I as a depressed this morning that it was the last day of the long weekend and I’d have to go back to work. How lame is that!? Thanks for reminding me life is incredibly wonderful!! SO wonderful!
Im thankful for the sunshine!
I am thankful for many things but most thankful that I turned my life around on a healthy track. I need some more fine tuning but it is coming along nicely. Have a great holiday weekend!

i’m definitely thankful for waking up every morning to a huge dog that sleeps on my yoga mat that i forget to roll up, a loving mother, a hilarious brother, living down the road from a library, and being able to use both of my legs to ride my bicycle (since i’m too stubborn to get my license and get a car! hahaha)
