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.

Today I’m thankful for my central heat. It’s cold outside and it’s a comfort to be warm.

I’m thankful that hubby and I read with each other every afternoon. It’s something we look forward to. No phones or any other electronics, just the quiet of us reading our current book.

I’m thankful for another holiday season to enjoy with family and friends.

I’m thankful for all the birds that come to eat from the feeders we provide and love watching them take their baths in our fountain. If they require anything they will sit on our fence outside our great room and sing to us. They never sing to us if all is well.

What are you thankful for today?

    • Well they don’t make noise or bother you, so they don’t count right? Happy Thursday. 🙂

      • Good point! I’m thankful for getting in a nice amount of writing toward my National Novel Writing Month goal before driving my husband to the barbershop and splitting a nice steak dinner as reward. 🙂 Stay warm!

        • Oh boy, a steak dinner. That’s what we’re having for Thanksgiving. Filet Mignon, potatoes and gravy, broccoli and garlic bread. I can’t wait. Stay warm too, Darla. 🙂

  1. I am also thankful for our fans and air-conditioners to keep us cool when the weather is hot. Also thankful for the birds that visit our garden even though they feed on some of my edibles. I love to hear them sing.

    • It’s hot here too in the summer. It’s good to be cool in the hot weather and warm in the cold weather. I love hearing the birds sing too. 🙂

    • I so remember burning the candles at both ends. Your day will come and you’ll enjoy the slower pace. 🙂

  2. We are thankful for a nice house with heat, and in the winter our favorite thing when we are home in the evenings is to sit in front of the fireplace and get toasted. Enjoy the season of snuggling!

    • Yes that’s a good place to be in the evenings. Our kitties and puppies have always enjoyed the same thing. 🙂

    Do you have sunflower seeds in your bird feeder? If so, I’ll be right over.

  5. I’m thankful for my cruise because I can’t wait for the Caribbean where it will be sunny and hot especially since we got this snow and cold weather in early November. Can’t wait for January. See ya Sandee.

    • I know you love your cruises. We didn’t care for them, but many do. 🙂

    • We’ve been doing it for years. It’s such a nice way to be together in the evening. 🙂

    So thankful the weather has been in the 50’s and 60’s this week. Our walks have been completely wonderful without having to bundle up like an Eskimo.

    • We’re in the upper 60s and I’m happy about that. Cold at night though. 🙂

        It’s so glorious during the day though!

  7. I am thankful for my warm winter coats and the plethora of scarves that I’ve accumulated…it’s cold out there!

    • I was just watching our birds a few minutes ago. We still have a lot of hummingbirds. 🙂

    Lovely that you and hubby make a special time to read together each day… That’s a beautiful thing! Thankful for my hubby too–he’s a keeper. He’ cuts and piles wood from downed trees each year–keeping hearth and home cozy and warm. So much to be thankful for…. 🙂

    • We have our schedules and it’s a wonderful thing. Yes, so much to be thankful for. 🙂

    • It’s still quiet. To many electronic noise most of the time. Thank you for hosting Thankful Thursday. 🙂

    • I’m happy about that too. You have a lovely day too, Kathe. Love and hugs. 🙂

  9. I totally agree about the central heat thankfulness! The house we first lived in here, on the coast, just had a wall unit and a wood burning stove…It’s been sooooo nice to have warm air pumped throughout the house!

    • It makes a difference. I remember not having central heat and air. It was tough. 🙂

    • It does, but nothing like your cold. We don’t have all that much in winter clothes. We go from short sleeve and shorts to long sleeve and long pants and a jacket. From sandals to shoes and sock. Not much. Happy day to you and Ms. Zoe. 🙂

    • They are indeed and there are so many things I’m thankful for. 🙂

    Cute story about the birds; singing for their supper. 😀 I too am grateful for central heat, especially since we had record-breaking snowfalls and cold temps. this week!

    • They really do. If they are on the fence and talking to us we know they need some birdseed. 🙂

    • It’s a wonderful time of the day. Every single day and no matter if we’re home or on our boat. I’m currently reading Blue Moon by Lee Child. It’s a Jack Reacher book and he’s ever so entertaining. 🙂

    • We do what we have to do when we get older. Lots of changes to endure, but endure them we do. 🙂

  12. What a nice routine you and your hubby have! I just put my bird feeders out today. I love watching the birds but because of bears we can’t have any out until after they hibernate (with this weather, hopefully they have already done so). I also have to find the perfect spot for them so that neither Luke nor our own birds will eat all the seed. LOL

    • Yes, hubby and I have worked out a wonderful routine together. Together is the operative word. Scritches and lovies to Luke. 🙂
