    I agree with all of those things and then some. Right now I’m thankful that we haven’t lost power (yet) with the way the wind is howling outside. It’s real quiet in the house this morning while dad and I are sitting here on blogger, and the wind is roaring and echoing down through the chimney!

      We worried about that the other night with all the high winds. I don’t mind the rain, but the high winds are scary. 🙂

    We all got a big thankful wake up last March starting with the disappearance of toilet paper. Grocery shopping is still not the way it was, but we are thankful we can get what we need. There is a lot to be thankful for in the world if you stop to think about it.

    We’re thankful for all those things and especially the electricity. We had a bad wind storm a couple of weeks ago and we would have been freezing without our gas heater. We like electricity, we like warmth and we like to sit on the heat vents when that hot air starts coming out!

    The Hubby said he’d spent a ton of $$ at the store today…maybe because raw almond butter is expensive and I have a addiction to the stuff…but he was able to buy everything on his list; that’s something to be grateful for.

    Dear Sandee,

    I’m thankful for your beautiful <3

    And I’m thankful that I chanced upon this quote this morning by Alina Alive:
    “I am gentle with myself. Because life is about the journey and not the destination.”

    I am thankful for #WW and the world wide web of people and how we are all connected if we look with love. 🙂

    I’m thankful for Brian and his cats and this wonderful link up he hosts. 🙂

    Indoor plumbing, amazing! I could probably handle just about anything, but chamber pots and outside bathrooms are not high on my list of must-return to times 🙂
