Thankful Thursday

Posted on by Sandee

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.

Today my husband Zane is doing Thankful Thursday.

What I am thankful for:

Yesterday was your birthday. Welcome to the next decade. I remember the first time I saw you like it was yesterday. That was 50 years ago and I fell in love with you then. We were with other people then, but when life gave us the opportunity to be together we were thankful for the chance.

I am thankful for the home we have made together. Peaceful, loving, warm, supportive.

I am thankful for the upgrades we are making to our home. I am thankful that we can make these changes while still staying in our purchasing power.

But mostly I am thankful for you. I love you. Happy Birthday.

Your loving Husband.

  5. Deborah – South San Francisco, CA – I am a Wise Woman who has been on a spiritual journey for many years. My wisdom was not gained through a higher education but through the University Of Life and all the insight, knowledge gained through the pain of trials and tribulations on the path of weeping to healing. Though I have come a long way, I am not done yet! I still have much wisdom to gain, more growth through pain, and the beauty of spirit that come by continual shedding of the old to receive the new! Sweet Blessings!

  6. Mya – Hello friends! I hope you enjoy your visit. I love my family, farm and friends! My home was built in 1730 and it has a lot of history. I’ve lived here most of my life except when I was married. I moved back home to take care of my Mom who had Alzheimer’s with my family. I hope you love my farm as much as I do! Thank you for visiting!

    Ahhh, how sweet! Happy Birthday, darling Sandee! I hope your day is ever bit as special as you are to us. Your husband is a sweetheart. Word of advice – hold on to that one! lol We’re blessed to have wonderful, loving, and caring husbands. I know you’re not into sweets so if you don’t want your birthday cake you can air mail it to yours truly! Not to worry, I’ll share it with DH because you know what a sweet tooth he has. 😀 Sending love, hugs, and kisses to you, my most wonderful friend!
