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 my cataract surgery went so well. I can see so much better now. Pretty soon I’ll go to my optometrist to get new glasses. I know I’ll see better than I have in years. Modern medical procedures are wonderful.

I’m thankful that we have two cruises planned the first two weekends in November. We’ll be done cruising after that. It’s good to get out and about after being locked down most of this year. Not to worry, we’ll still follow the rules.

What are you thankful for today?

    I am glad your cataract surgery went well.
    Enjoy your November cruises. I know it is not the same going on a big ship, but I have really missed our cruises this year.

      We love our boat far better than the big ships. Don’t care for those at all. I always got sick and the last time I was really sick. 🙂

    Eyesight is never to be taken for granted and it is wonderful with all the medical advances how many things they can do so much better these days. Have fun on your cruises. We know you will!

      I don’t take any senses for granted. Hubby and I were talking the other day about how folks suffered 100 years ago. So many medical breakthroughs. 🙂

  4. Sandra Hangey says:

    I remember from 4 years ago how wonderful it was to have that white film gone and see everything sharp and clear and you’ll feel even better when you get your new glasses. You certainly do have a lot to be thankful for as do we all

      It’s amazing for sure. I’m loving seeing all the vivid colors. We’re both lucky gals. 🙂

    Sandee, don’t you cruise in your boat throughout the year? Isn’t the weather where you live conducive for cruising just like in Florida?
    I’m thankful that I’m still here after this change that I’ve had. ( New Home ) LOL Have a great Thursday.

      We do, but not much in the winter time. We might go out, but usually it’s time for maintenance in the winter. The mechanic works on it to ready it for the next year. 🙂

    I’m really happy your surgery went well. I had my eyes done a while back and was really thankful to see clearly again. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

      It’s an amazing surgery and folks shouldn’t be afraid to do it. The results are fabulous. 🙂

    Funny cataract story: WE had our master bath painted a pretty shade of green in Summer 2016. My husband loves green but that shade not so much but left that color in another room. Fast forward to after his cataract surgery. When he saw the other room in that shade of green he realized the cataracts had distorted the green. But we left the master the new color.
    Amazing what a difference surgery makes especially when you realize how poorly your sight was
    Hugs Cecilia Happy crusin’
