Thankful Thursday



Good Evening All,
I am late, but it is still Thursday here. I hope you all have been having a great week. This week went by fairly quickly for me but I am grateful. We have several things happening right now and I am looking forward to them.

So, have you all been smiling? Giving someone a compliment? Doing something for someone that cannot do for you? If you have, doesn't it make you feel good? If not, its never too late to start.

Well my thankfuls for today are:

  • Meeting new people - It is always nice to meet new people. You never know who will be in your life for just that moment or forever or somewhere in between the two. I strongly believe that everyone single person we meet is put across our paths for a reason. Whether that reason is for our or their benefit is a mystery, whether it is to become a friend, a lesson, or just to give someone a kind word or gesture when they may need it. I raise my children to treat everyone they meet with kindness and acknowledgement because you never know who that person is or who they may become. We do not know what they have been through or where they are going. Your interaction with them is one that they may remember and I hope they remember it in a positive way.

  • Today I am thankful that we received an application for the house in Vegas. We have not had tenants in the house for a couple months now and it will be a great burden lifted when we finally get it rented out again.

  •  I am thankful for being able to continue with school. I have been blessed enough to be able to achieve grades high enough to receive scholarships and pay for school. If it was not for scholarships and grants I would be unable to attend school. I love learning new things and believe it is never too late or you are ever too old to learn something new. I met a lady in her 50's recently that was just going to college for the first time because she never had the opportunity to go when she was younger. She was so excited and happy. Our minds are an amazing thing. Do not let them go to waste. Even if it is not a formal education, learn something that interests you.
Well, I have to get some homework done myself, so with that I leave you and wish you all a great night.

Love to you all,
Sharon

We woke up this morning to such cool weather! As I went to let the dog out this morning I actually felt a chill. It was so nice! I had to stand out there and just feel the breeze and smell the air. Having had over 100 degree temperatures since April it is so nice to have a glimpse of fall weather. At noon today the temp in the car read 67 degrees! Love it! Fall is my favorite season. It may because my birthday is in the fall, or the changing of the leaves, the crispness of the air, the holidays and family and friends, football season, and oh so many more things that I absolutely adore. Technically we still have 3 weeks but I am going to take advantage of the weather and start some of my annual fall activities. Today we will be baking homemade granola bars and making homemade play dough in fall colors. I bake A LOT in the fall so local friends be ready for lots of goodies. My famous Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, homemade caramel popcorn, and much more...lol. Do not be surprised...

Welcome!

Hello All and Welcome to All Things: Kendrick Family.  I am Sharon and married to my best friend Kevin. We have two kiddos: our son, Keonte, 10 (soon to be 11) and our daughter Cheyanne, 7. So our house is hardly ever dull. I enjoy reading blogs and have been tempted for a couple of years to attempt a blog of my own. A few friends have inspired me to try and well, here we are. I thought of many different topics and subjects to blog about but could not decide on one in particular. We are a non-denominational Christian family with multi racial backgrounds and we have been a homeschooling family for over 7 years but this year we are going to attempt public school. That in itself could be a blog...lol. I am currently undergoing a fitness journey to lose weight and become fit. We are a military family and recently moved to Texas from Las Vegas. I am currently going back to college for myself in an attempt to finish my degree. I enjoy couponing "realistically" not "extreme...
