  1. Sometimes it isn’t always easy, but we try to always be thankful for everything we have and get to do. The pandemic has made us really appreciate simple things a lot more.

    • Yes there are bumps in the road here and there, but they make the good things even sweeter. 🙂

    • Yes it is, Nancy. You have a happy and thankful heart and it shows. 🙂

  2. All so true. I just looked out the window and saw some blue between white clouds in the otherwise rainy sky, and I am thankful for that right now.

    • We’re having the same kind of weather today. Earlier is was raining, but the sun is trying to poke through. 🙂

    • Thank you for hosting such an important meme. Being thankful is a very good thing. 🙂

    Wonderful quotes, Sandee! Happy Thursday! ❤️

    • Thanks, Ellen. You have a wonderful day too. Scritches to all the kitties. 🙂

    • Oh they are expensive too. We just had one out about a month ago. I hope your day gets much better. 🙂

  4. Mr. Emerson’s quote was my favorite.
    Last night we went to bed with a Level 4 Severe storm(Tstorms, hail, tornadoes) alert for today (there are 5 levels). I was quite thankful to hear we are downgraded to a level 3. We have taken in all things from the outside that might be given wings by the wind. The birds aren’t thankful for that.
    Hugs Cecilia

    • I hear you. The birds like there things right where they want them. I’m glad you’ve been down graded to level 3. Stay safe. 🙂

  5. Wise words. Sometimes I swear or grumble about some tiny mishap and then find myself laughing, seeing past the moment at all my various blessings. ~hugs~ Be well!

    • We all do that. You’re not alone. There are so many things to be thankful for. 🙂

    Great thankfuls! It’s truly easier on the heart to be positive and give thanks every day!

    • I agree. Being negative can really affect your health. 🙂

  9. Happy Thursday! Finally we have a fairly calm day since the high wind warnings and the dirt flying through the air is gone.Hope your day is just as calm. <3

    • It was raining earlier, but the sun is trying to peek out. It’s going to rain some more today and tomorrow. We are having a calm day. Thankfully. 🙂

  10. 5 years ago today we bought the old farmhouse, and it turned out to be perfect! We turned it into a real farm a year later when we got our first chickens. It’s the best thing we ever did. It was almost the most stressful thing we ever did (selling our old house), but it definitely turned out to be worth it! I am so thankful we decided to do it, especially since we almost didn’t several times along the way.

    • What a wonderful thankful. I know you love your farm. I love Luke. Give him a smooch from me. 🙂

    There is so much to be thankful for and most of the time we overlook the prime ones. Like a warm place to live, food that taste delish, and the main one to us…..family that love us.
