Thankful

Yes – there is always something to be thankful for. I’m trying to post everyday on Facebook something I am thankful for during the month of November. November 1st – books, I can’t imagine a world without books. What more can I say??!! November 2nd – all the wonderful friends and family who wished me a happy birthday on the 1st! A quiet, productive day at home and then supper at Dad and Mom’s. Roast beef and potatoes – one of my favorites! And Aaron surprised me by coming over too.

November 3rd – running into old friends and catching up. We dropped Drew off at Dad and Mom’s Saturday morning to spend the night then Joe and I ran into town for lunch. We hadn’t planned to but we spent more time at Dad and Mom’s than we had anticipated so thought we’d run in, eat quick, then get started on some projects at home. When we got there some old friends we hadn’t seen for a long time were there and we sat down together and had lunch. It was so nice to get caught up with this couple. I went to school with both of them and Joe and Jeff became friends after he moved to the area years ago. I told Joe on the way home how it’s nice to be with couples who have been together and stayed together for years. There is so much love there and they’re just so comfortable to be around. It was great running into them!

November 4th – having a husband who fixed brunch while I tackled the moutain of laundry in the living room that needed folded and put away. And, he helped clean up the kitchen after we ate! Bacon, fried eggs, hashbrowns and toast. I don’t take that for granted and it doesn’t happen often and that’s okay, I don’t expect it to, but yesterday I was very thankful that it did! And it was yummy! Why does food alwyas taste better when somebody else fixes it?

There’s something to be thankful for everyday. Some days you have to look a little deeper to find things but they are always there! I wonder what I’ll find to be thankful for today?
