Thankful Thursday

It’s Thankful Thursday hosted by Brian of Brian’s Home. He wants us to post what we’re thankful for.

I think it’s a good thing to do each week. Focus on the positive things in our lives.

Make sure you link up to the Blog Hop at Brian’s Home and get the code to put on your blog. Then visit all the participants.

I’m thankful that I’m starting another new year with my wonderful husband. I’m sure there will be many wonderful adventures to enjoy this year.

I’m thankful that our twin great grands are doing well and are a year old today. They were so very tiny last year at this time and now they are running all over the house.

I’m thankful that we don’t have to go to work anymore. We enjoyed our careers very much, but we so enjoy smelling the roses and enjoying the fruits of our labor.

I’m thankful for all my blogging buddies and look forward to another fun year of supporting each other. You’re the best.

What are you thankful for today?

  1. We remember when you first told us all about the twins. So happy they are doing well and probably are creating havoc in their own home, but that is a good thing!

    • They were scary small for a bit, but they are where they should be now. That’s the important part. 🙂

    • I know. They just arrived and today they are one year old. You have a purrfect day too, Marg. 🙂

  2. Wow! Happy Birthday to those cute as a button great grands of yours! That year went by fast!!!

        We would both be ten years older.

  6. I am so thankful for my sweeties quick recovery from what could have been so much worse, thankful for our Lucy who is recovering from painful dental work and thankful for my son having a safe and healthy place to live as opposed to what could have happened. Last year was a teaching year for me and I am thankful for all my family and friends who have been so supportive!

    • I’m glad things turned out well for you. I hope they continue to do so. Give extra lovies to Miss Lucy. Dental work is awful. 🙂

    • Yes on the babies and the retirement. I can’t imagine working anymore. Hugs back. 🙂

    • We have so much to be thankful for. I’m happy I found you and your kitties. 🙂

    • Yes and yes, Viola. You have that right. You have a terrific Thankful Thursday too. 🙂

    • I’m thankful we found each other, Darla. Happy New Year. 🙂

  7. Wonderful list of things for which to be thankful. Entrepreneur and I will celebrate 40 years of marriage this year and I’m extremely thankful for that since I never expected him to still be with us in 2020! I’m also thankful I found your blog and consider you a wonderful bloggy friend. Happy New Year to you and yours. xoxo

    • You’re a wonderful blogging buddy too, Lisa. I’m glad we found each other. I’m glad you’ll be able to celebrate your 40th with your hubby this year. 🙂

  8. All great things to be thankful for! I’m thankful for all my blessings. So many I don’t know where to start, but all my blogging buddies and their pets are among them.

    • Some people never even stop to think about all their blessings. 🙂

    Memories of Eric and Flynn

    It seems like only yesterday we saw photos of those cute little twins, and now they are a year old already!
    It is good to be retired and able to just pick up and go when we want to.
    I am very Thankful to see 2020. My oncologist told me my chemo pill worked for 1 -2 years usually, and I have now been taking it for nearly 3 years, and long may it continue to do so.

      I forgot to say, I can’t add tomorrow’s blog hop link to my scheduled post. I keep getting the message that the site can’t be reached.

      • Are you talking about Feline Friday? Some folks have already linked so I’m not sure what the problem is. I’ll go check. 🙂

          Yes, it’s the Feline Friday code. I usually add it when I schedule my post so I don’t have to remember on the day. I just tried again and have the code now, thanks. It must have just been a blip.

          • The site was down for a bit. That was the problem. I’m so happy you got the code. See you tomorrow. 🙂

    • Yes it does seem like yesterday and now they are all over the place. So fun. I’m glad you are still here too. Prayers for you. 🙂

    • They made a mess with their birthday cupcakes. I’ll post the pictures next Thankful Thursday. 🙂

    I somehow think I missed this post! These are wonderful things to be thankful for! Your Grandbabies are WAY ahead of mine and mine is older. Mine is not walking on her own (she pushes things to walk) and is NOT talking (she just turned 17 months)…we are rather concerned 🙁

    • I’m way older than you, Caren. Life rushes by so quickly and we have learned to enjoy each moment. Have you taken the little one to see the doctor? I’m guessing so. Love you. 🙂
