A Month of Gratitude

So I was planning on taking a month off of picture taking and posting. April is a little busy and I didn't find the list over at my usual spot very inspiring.

At the Easter family gathering I break the news to my Mamaw (my most loyal blog reader and the only reason I blog the pictures). I tell her it's going to be a busy month and I need a break.

Her response: What do you mean? I'm not going to get a new picture every day? The month isn't THAT busy!

Oiy vey. ;)

So this morning my faraway friend Sarah posted a new Gratitude picture to Instagram. (She got the list from Pinterest. She likes Pinterest. Her husband doesn't. I've decided she and I can have a Pinterest craft night and they can have a "Every Time I hear 'I saw this on Pinterest' I want to Punch Someone" support group. The snacks will of course be inspired from Pinterest recipes. We just won't tell them. Oh the irony! I digress.) I did some searching and found the original blog posting. It's from a 2011 blog called PositivelyPresent and I figured since it's the month of my birth and all - I can be grateful. ;)

Here's the list.

Today's is Favorite Food

Blue Bell ice cream should be the only ice cream ever made. Period. I was lucky enough to be born and raised in the greatest state ever and have been eating Blue Bell since birth. 

It was only later when I realized Blue Bell was a Texas thing and some states had never heard of it. How sad for them! They just don't know....poor, poor things.

Today I'm grateful for ice cream, chunky baby thighs and the extra patience I never knew I had.

Until next time...

(Sorry it's not a picture of Alice, Mamaw - she's not a food. ;) )
