It is a good practice when one is feeling happier than that, too. So for this Friday Five, I suggest that you use your name or nickname of about five letters and express your gratitude about something that starts with each letter. Some people have longer names, so you decide how you will go about this! (Last names, middle names, and nicknames count!)”

I usually dont use my actual name on this blog but thought I would break it for today’s Friday Five! I decided to use my first and middle name so I could have a few more letters since my name isnt quite 5 letters long!

T—Tomatoes and other summer veggies! I love using fresh stuff from the garden etc to make my meals.

A—Andrea; my sister and my other family members too; Mom, Dad, G and G Ulrich, Uncle T, Uncle B, Uncle J, Aunt C, Aunt N, C and all the other family members in my life. Love them so much!

R—Rocky Mountain National Park. I am so glad I got to spend 10 days there. It was so peaceful and an awesome event. I also am thankful for the many new friends I met there. I am thankful for the experiences I had there!

A—Awesome, Amazing friends; new and old! I am so blessed to have them all in my life!

L—Love; God’s love for me, the love of my family/friends, etc

E—(My) E-Reader or in other words my Kindle! I am so thankful for this awesome Christmas gift. I have been able to read more books since Christmas than I have in the last year! YAY!
