Weekly Photo Challenge – Thankful

23 November, 2012 15 Comments

This morning Jim and I put up our first winter wreath for Christmas. I am so thankful for a new day to share with this wonderful person. We brought home two grand-daughters last night – a serendipitous event and I am enjoying their giggles and chatter. It turned really cold and it is snowing and that always excites me this time of year (snow more than cold – but they do go together). We have lost so many friends and family so we know how precarious life can be. Consequently I rejoice that I am watching one more snowfall – I hope it is a big one. I’m thankful that I was able to do exercise today that I almost enjoy, keeping my mind and body healthy.

Every so often I stop and smile as I remember all the fun we had at our family gathering yesterday. Not everyone was able to make it – one daughter is at her new job in Texas and our two grandsons had other plans. Also Hebah and Natashia weren’t there. We missed them but Marv cooked a wonderful meal (Thanks Marv) and there were a lot of hugs and laughter and leftovers. What joy. Tonight I am planning left-over turkey for supper.

You have a lot to be thankful for. I bet the people in your life are thankful to have you, too. We’re expecting a little snow in NYC next week…

Thanks for your entire labor on this wtsbiee. Kim takes pleasure in doing internet research and it is easy to understand why. Most people learn all relating to the lively means you create reliable information by means of your wtsbiee and in addition cause participation from other people on the concept and our own princess has always been becoming educated so much. Have fun with the remaining portion of the year. You are always conducting a powerful job.1f64
