Thankful #8

I am thankful for the Internet! While I realize that it can definitely be used inappropriately, the Internet has brought so many blessings into my life. I love being able to keep up with family and friends. It especially helps me keep up with my busy mom friends who often don' t have time to chat on the phone at the same times that I have a chance to. I'm grateful for the eternal amount of knowledge that is literally at my fingertips. I would be lost without Wikipedia, online dictionaries, medical sites, etc. I love that it keeps me up to date with what's going on in the world. (my favorite news site right now is http://www.drudgereport.com/). I love that I can shop for things when I don' t have time to get to the stores while they're open. It makes Christmas time so much more peaceful! (love http://www.amazon.com/) It has a wealth of projects and ideas that can keep me busy until the cows come home! (some new favorites are: http://www.thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/, http://www.shanty2chic.blogspot.com/ , and http://www.enchantresses3.blogspot.com/ thanks Dani!) It's also definitely helped me be a better mom to my boy. Growing up surrounded by 4 other girls, I didn't really see what my brothers were into. It's helped me learn about the vast world that is Star Wars and all about Bakugans. I am seriously so grateful for the Internet!
