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.

  • Our health. Hubby and I are in our 70s, but we eat well and exercise.
  • Sight. All the beauty we enjoy that surrounds us.
  • Smell. So many wonderful smells. Flowers, the air after a good rain. Dinner in the oven.
  • Taste. The pure pleasure of our wonderful meals.
  • Touch. To hold hands with hubby, to hug our grands and great grands.
  • Food. All the comfort food that we enjoy in the cold weather.

    Sandee,

    I just love your thankfuls, especially holding your hubby’s hand. That’s delightful to read! We still hold hands, too. I only wished more couples indulged in this simple act of affection. The sweet gesture can only bring two people closer in my opinion. 🙂

    All excellent things to be thankful for, especially for those of us who are senior citizens. 👌 Old age is not guaranteed and many people don’t make it that far. We are the lucky ones. Happy Thursday, Sandee! ☀

    Those are some mighty good thankfuls. I am particularly thankful that being in our 70s as well that Tom and I are fairly healthy and that we have had both our vaccinations and our booster for the stupid COVID virus. Also thankful that cooler weather has arrived. Big hugs and love, Janet

    Smells can make you time travel, like catching a whiff of something that reminds one of being at Grandma’s house as a kid, and voila! You are a child again.
