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 hubby and I have always made sure we have essential things to survive panics that seem to happen often. Hording is such a horrible thing and so many have done just that, leaving the shelves bare for others in need.
I’m thankful that hubby and I are not in a panic over this pandemic. Panic isn’t going to help one bit. Follow the healthcare professionals advice and you’ll do far better.
I’m thankful hubby and I can survive for many weeks by planning to do just that. We have alternative ways to cook and food that can last for years. It eliminates stress for us and always has.
What are you thankful for today?

I’m happy I’m not the only one not panicking! I work in a medical clinic and I’m aware of the risks which we all try to minimise as best we can.
I haven’t been hoarding stuff from the supermarket either, we have enough in our pantry and fruit and some veggies from the garden.
I’m certainly thankful for the internet that enables us to stay connected to family and friends.
Keep well Sandee 🙂
I’m happy that most of my blogging buddies are doing well. That’s a wonderful thing. Stay well, Sami. 🙂
I’m thankful to be working in a job that is considered essential so that I still have a regular paycheck coming in. I haven’t done any panic buying at all. I’ve bought things as I need them and thankfully so far I’ve been able to get everything I need.
Good for you, Ann. Getting what you need is a good thing. Stay well. 🙂
I am also thankful that we have enough to take us through these 28 days with proper rationing of food. I am also thankful for my monthly pension and not worry about not having a job after this.
That makes two of us, Nancy. We’re fine with food and other supplies that are needed. Stay well. 🙂
We are thankful to be happy and healthy at home.
We are too, Miss Molly. 🙂
We are fine being home, together with our mom, but we miss our sports and sports friends a lot. Mom always has extra stuff on hand, but not for years, just for a few weeks. She worries about our food, not hers, but we will all be fine. We are thankful to be together and to be healthy.
I’m sure the distribution will be corrected soon. Bless all the railroads and truckers out there. They are true heroes. 🙂
I have to admit to panic, the past two Saturday when I went to WM and Publix and there was no food to purchase. we do not keep more than 2 weeks supplies ahead, so no fall back for us. WM came through for us with senior hours on Tues/Wed and the store was stocked. I am a planner, I do things weeks before I need to and this not being able to plan and not being able to go makes me crazy. I am thankful I had the money to stock up and was able to walk and drive to get supplies. thankful for blog friends that help me fill the day…
This will pass and I hope soon. Stay safe, Sandra. 🙂
The Hubby and I have been sanguine about this pandemic, but I hide my despair by working from home in another part of the house from him. Thankfully, I have Sweetie up here with me, and she is aptly named! I feel lucky to have her purr for me, and hokey smokes, she’s a head-butter!
Aw, what a lovely treat. Sweetie rocks. 🙂
Those are terrific thankfuls and being prepared is such a blessing. We were ready too except the paper towels didn’t work out too well. Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
We got a package of Costco paper towels this morning. No toilet paper to be had, but we don’t need any toilet paper. We’re good. 🙂
We have enough food and supplies to get us through and I am thankful for that. Happy Thursday and have a great day! 🌸 🌼 🌻
Yes indeed, Eugenia. I’m not surprised that you’re prepared. 🙂
I think that comes with being older – whoops, I mean more mature! 😉
You have TP? My peeps will be right over. If you don’t give some, I’ll post “FREE TP AT SANDEE;S!
Try social distancing after that.
Yes we have TP. Good luck getting into our house though. We are armed and dangerous. 🙂
You and Zane are very smart- R and I are ok for about 6 weeks,then I will have to go out and shop.Our stores here have senior hours so we can get in and out easily with no crowds. Hoarding is ridiculous. I truly do not get it.
Take care and be safe and healthy! All 3 of us sends hugs and love!
We’ve gone out a couple of times during the senior hours. We’re happy about that. Some things only last so long, like milk and salad makings. We can do without those if need be and assess the medical issues in our area before we venture out. 🙂
Hi Sandee, right now I am thankful that I live in Greece. We lead such a simple life that the strict rules enforced during these difficult times haven’t affected day to day life too much. I am also thankful that even though my parents may well be stranded abroad that they are safe, well and still upbeat… Stay safe and stay positive everyone!
xx
Good for you, Deb. I love it. Stay safe and positive too. 🙂
I’m glad you guys are set up okay food-wise, and hopefully you have everything else you need or are able to get it without too much trouble. It’s already getting very difficult over here and it’s awful to think how many are struggling, how woefully unprepared our countries are. Use common sense and follow the government and medical guidance, that’s all we can do. Stay safe & well xx
Wise words my friend. Yes there are idiots out there. There always are. Bless their hearts. Stay well, my friend. 🙂
we haven’t hoarded at all, no need to. I stocked the freezer……..we also shop as needed but are going out way less. There are many things we can do without. I also have ZERO trouble with the quarantine…..while some think I am super outgoing (and in person I put on my outgoing game face), I am actually more introverted than many would think. Have always hated huge crowds of people, always preferred one-on-one interacting and often would withdraw from any social interaction outside of my family home base. I was single for many, many, many (did I say MANY? lol) years so I learned how to be REALLY alone and to find peace with it. I feel sorry for people who are constantly running, constantly eating out, constantly seeking outside entertainment. Those people are having a miserable time adjusting. That being said I DO miss my granddaughter but we see her on Facetime and photos. Stay safe! xoxo
I am at peace by myself too. Learned to do that many years ago. You stay safe too. 🙂
I love your positive attitude. We are the same way. No need to panic, this will pass like everything else. XO
Going into panic mode won’t help one bit. Be well, my friend. 🙂
Bravo Bravo Sandee…I 100% agree. After 3 weeks we finally found tp shelves well stocked at Wegmans.
We are good now…in need of nothing and most thankful for our health
Hugs Cecilia
Yes indeed. We just don’t live week to week where supplies are concerned. It’s just not smart. Hugs back, my friend. 🙂
The media is panicking enough for everyone. We also have taken measures to be able to weather these types of situations. We even have a stockpile of dried food and emergency supplies if/when we are hit by a tornado. I guess my years of living in Nebraska has stuck with me as I tend to buy extra groceries/necessities around November to ensure enough supplies to last through a rough winter. Take care, my friend and be safe. xoxox
I refuse to listen to the media. It really doesn’t take a lot of work to make sure you’re prepared for things. Be safe too, Lisa. 🙂
Like you, we are planners. We have our emergency kits if we need them, but so far we have stayed ahead of the hoarders and panic prone.
Stay well!
Yes and yes. It’s important that everyone does. I think many have got the message. You stay well too. 🙂
I am so glad you are alright and not panicking. It’s so good to hear a voice of reason in this stressful time.
Take care!
You have to remember both hubby and I were cops. We learned how to survive in adversity. 🙂
But do you have toilet paper? Geesh who knew about that? I am happy you are so well planned for and can stay removed from the crazy, because boy-oh-boy!
Take care!
Yes, we have toilet paper and paper towels. We have bread, tortillas, plenty of meat and veggies. We’re good. Stay well. 🙂
Bless you for your pragmatic and sensible approach to this whole coronavirus thing. So many people have really lost their minds over it-
Yes they have and we refuse to. It doesn’t help one bit. 🙂
I’m thankful that thus far my family & friends are all doing well. Keep up the good work is what I say. I’m also thankful for prayers that everyone takes it seriously and prays to the good Lord for guidance & help. I’m also thankful that the people haven’t gone bonkers with regard to this virus & is staying home until the dark is gone. Thanks to everyone for holding their own. Hi Girlfriend, I hope & pray everyone stays calm in your neck of the woods and that maybe this is a good thing that the family will be a closer unit. Take care my lovely because I care. Sending lots of hugs… oh what the hell and a kiss kiss too! Luv ya….
So far so good, but we stay home most of the time. Mail and the store once a week. Love you back, honey. 🙂
Great list, Sandee ~ You and hubby sound very organized and make a great team ~ ^_^
Xox to you from me and Zoe ~ ^_^
Stay Calm and Be Well,
A ShutterBug Explores,
aka (A Creative Harbor)
We do make a great team. I’m a lucky gal. 🙂
Good for you, being prepared. It doesn’t surprise me at all that you are.
Hubby is the one that’s always been on top of this. He taught me how to do things when there isn’t any way to use your stove, toilet and a laundry list of other things. 🙂
We are prepared too. I am appalled at the hoarding. Glad the stores like Sams and Costco have said no refunds or returns on big ticket items bought in bulk. It is such a difficult time but trying to stay calm and safe and healthy. Stay safe and healthy and take care. Thank you for all you do for us too. HUGS
Yes I’m happy about all those folks that will want to return stuff won’t be able to. You take care and stay healthy too. Big hug. 🙂
I’m thankful my hubby works in the grocery industry, so I know we’ll be OK (but not grateful about how hard he’s having to work right now to keep up with demand). I have my moments of worry, but have not panicked. It’s been disruptive, ruined some big plans I had, but in the end as long as we stay healthy, I’ll be grateful. ♥
Yes the stores are pretty bare here. Costco is getting back to normal, but yesterday there wasn’t any toilet paper. We didn’t need any, but still. Stay healthy. Smoochies to Luke. 🙂
I’m thankful that everyone is still standing.
Me too, Marsha, me too. 🙂
Thankful for hubby Dan and for all we need to keep us going here home for a long hibernation. We too, are always ready for emergencies. Thankful for family and friends who keep in touch with us regularly online and by phone. 🙂 xo
We’re thankful for all those things too, Bette. Be well, my friend. 🙂
Yessss to all of your thankfuls! People need to chill, followe what the CDC, Dr. Fauci or whoever, is saying and all will be well. I’m so happy you and your hubs have it totally under control. Other people should follow suit! We’ve not run out of anything. We’ve been shopping as normal. We had one scare when my son got sick but it turned out it was only strep so we are thankful for that. 🙂 – xoxoxox
Turn off the television is a good idea. The so called media isn’t helping one bit. 🙂
