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 got in to see my eye doctor for new glasses yesterday. After my cataract surgery in October my eyes were telling me I needed new glasses. What a difference they will make. My vision is far better than it’s been in years.

I’m thankful that our boat mechanic is done with our yearly maintenance. We’re planing on taking a drive up in the near future to get the boat ready for the season.

I’m thankful that we’ve already seen a few blossoms on some trees. This happens every February and it makes my heart happy. Spring is just around the corner.

What are you thankful for today?

  1. That’s great that you’re seeing better. Hope you don’t have to wait too long for the new glasses.
    Seeing signs of spring always makes me happy too. I think it will be a while before I see any around here though

    • I won’t know until I get them. Everything takes a bit longer now days. 🙂

    • I had no idea I had a cataract either, but what a difference when it was removed. Wonderful. 🙂

  2. Sight is something to never take for granted. We know that as Gramma is losing her sight from an incurable eye disease and it is so very difficult. It will be wonderful for you to see so much better, we are really happy for you!

    • I don’t take any of my senses for granted. They each play an important role. I’ve a friend that has the same issue as your grandma. 🙂

    • I know this is true, Miss Molly. I’ll be 70 in September and things don’t work as they once did. 🙂

    Those are good things to be thankful for, Sandee! I’m glad your eyesight is better! Happy Thursday!

    • I couldn’t believe the difference after the surgery. It was wonderful. 🙂

  4. Hooray for the surgery and new glasses! It’s always a joyful thing to put those new glasses on and see the world clearly for the first time in a while.

    My hope is you will have a fabulous boating season and a glorious spring.

    • I know this is true and I can’t wait for the new glasses. We’re hoping for a great boating season too. 🙂

    Hi, Sandee! I am so excited Spring is almost here. Enjoy preparing your boat for the season. 🤗((Hugs))

    • We are enjoying it very much. Working on our first cruise too. Even if we just stay on the boat it’s all good. 🙂

    Hey, Sandee, I have a question. How can I get a Buddies drop-down list? TIA🤗

    • We aren’t in full lock-down and they control how many folks can be in a medical office at the same time. It’s working out well for those that need to see a doctor for whatever reason. 🙂

  7. Been over the visit Brian and the furs, now coming here to say hi….Like I told Brian, the furs and I are thankful the a warm home this morning. 34 degrees and not to go much higher then that. Tomorrow night, 16….

    • We are thankful for the warm too. It’s not as cold here, but I’m all bundled up. I’m waiting for spring. 🙂

    After your vision is better and you see what’s actually going on, you may want to go back to your old glasses.

    • I don’t pay any attention to all the detractors. Smoke and mirrors is what they are doing. I’m good. Love you Kismet. 🙂

    • I know and there are some beautiful blossoms out here and there. Makes my heart happy. 🙂

    Blossoms this time of year are so welcome and appreciated. It’s good to appreciate the simple things in life. Happy Thursday!

    • We just drove around the other day to find what few blossoms we could find. Pretty soon there will be fields of blossoms. 🙂

    I know spring is coming, but it doesn’t feel like it’s coming fast enough!
    Enjoy your weekend!
    <3

    • We’re getting a taste, but it’s ever so cold. One day the switch will be flipped and it will be warm. 🙂

  13. Glad all is going well with your eyesight and glasses.
    I’m thankful I was able to get my 2nd dose of the vaccine yesterday, and had no side effects besides my arm being sore.
    Happy Thursday! <3

  14. Blossoms on the trees would be a huge mental lift! I hope you don’t have any more freezing weather. We have below 0F wind chills here so I don’t think I’ll be seeing any buds anytime soon. New glasses! Hope you picked out some crazy cute frames. I’m sure you’re looking forward to the day you can take out the boat. I would! xoxox

    • It’s cold here, but spring has arrived several times already. Doesn’t last for long, but ever so nice. We were in the 70s for a few days. I always try for fun frames. We’re ready for the boat, Lisa. 🙂

  15. Getting the boat ready is such a great thing. You know summer is coming and the fun along with it. Great Thankfuls

    Meowza, blossoms on trees sounds wonderful! Today, in our neck of the woods it’s 16 degrees with a wind chill of up to 15 below! The Human needs to get back from that place she calls “work” and crank up the fireplace!

  18. Mom hopes you are right about Spring. It is so cold here that we don’t get out for our daily walks. We just have to exercise in the yard. We love the cold and we even have a bit of snow, but zero and below does get a bit weary.

    • Yes it does. If it just warms up a little during the day everyone is far more happy. Spring is coming. 🙂

    I hope you love the new glasses. It’s fantastic your vision is so much improved. And blossom on the trees is such a wonderful sight, isn’t it? We haven’t had any here yet but at the first sign of it I instantly brighten. Spring is around the corner!!

    Happy Thursday, Sandee! xx

    • Getting old is a challenge. You know all about challenges. A completely different set when you get old. Big hug, Caz. 🙂

    Great thankfuls! I bet you and Zane are ready for Spring and boating! We are getting snow tonight! So we’ll hunker down and enjoy our home with Lucy! xoxoxo

    • Yes we are and have already decided on our first cruise. We don’t care if we stay on the boat and get take out. We’re going. Love to all. 🙂

  21. Good luck with the new glasses. Everything is taking longer. Our son Jeremy and his wfie are moving into a new home and if they do not have furnishings you want in the stores there is a 6-7 month wait list. It is called, no one wants to work anymore. Ugh! Our plumber told us today they can not get any good help as no one is interested in learning a trade or simply working, period. Living in some sad times.
    But the weekend is coming and we will stay indoors as the temps are falling to the single digits. Brrrr……
    Grateful for a weekend filled with phamily. Take care and thanks for all you do.

    • Yes we’re living in some sad times. All planned by idiots that want to be the ruling class and the rest of us will starve. 🙂

  22. I am very thankful for everyone here and all the fun we have. I am thankful for heat and a roof over our heads in these extreme temps. Thankful for all those I love and thankfu for laughter which gets me through so many days. I look for glimmers of kindness, grateness and thankfulness. It is always there, we just have to search somedays. Thanks for all you do and be safe and happy.

  23. We’re in the middle of a frigid spell, and have had a lot of snow storms lately. Spring seems way far off to us!
    I am thankful to have Luke’s company when I’m hibernating because of the weather! 🙂

    • Without glasses I can’t read much of anything. You have a wonderful weekend too. 🙂
