Thankful Thursday

Posted on by Sandee

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 when I wake up each morning. I’ve a blank canvas to have the best day I can. It’s all up to me.

I’m thankful for my eyesight. Being able to see all the beautiful things around me is a blessing.

I’m thankful I can hear. Hearing the birds sing, a kitten meow, or a pup bark is wonderful. To hear my husband tell me he loves me is the most precious thing I can hear.

What are you thankful for today?

    I love that comment about the morning having a ” blank canvas “. It does make a great deal Sandee especially since this morning is so white, about 6 inches of snow. I thank my wife so much, she’s outside shovelling the snow and she loves it. I’m thankful to see the sun, yes its sunny outside, so beautiful with the snow outside and I’m thankful for God allowing me to see all of this this morning. Have a wonderful day Sandee.

      Your comment on my latest post made me address our friend’s propensity for kindness. Thank you for causing me to consider things he’s done for us over the decades. In fact, he once drove me home after coworkers abandoned me at the honky tonk bar he frequented back in those days. 🙂 Hugs, my dear.

    Hi Sandee, I can’t imagine a world where I can’t hear the birds sing or watch the sunrise. I’m also thankful that I’m a morning person as it’s the best time of day.

    Yes, I’m definitely thankful to be able to see (with glasses) and hear, as well as remaining lucid and mobile. That may not be the case in later years. Kind of a frightening thought! One day at a time. 🙂
