8 April - What I'm Thankful for Today

Good afternoon from sunny, warm Green Bay, Wisconsin USA. It's currently 62 F. Our high is 63 F. I'm sure we got that. There's a breeze. It's been a quiet day with a few things to be thankful for. I'm thankful for my friend who took me everywhere to find eclipse glasses, but there weren't any. I'm so grateful and blessed that she allowed me to buy her gas for the van. I've been offering since I got rid of the car. I'm thankful for stopping at the grocery store and getting raspberries. It was literally the only thing I forgot when I was at Hy-Vee last Friday. I'm thankful for my hairdresser. I called to reschedule the next appointment. I realized I can't do Wednesdays anymore. So, I have a Monday appointment next month. I'm thankful for the work I did on Faith to Believe. It's tedious as I get all the sentences down to one space. I know I'll be going back over it again. I need to update the technology in the story. I'm thankful I found another game. It wants me to add friends, and I can do that, but I prefer playing alone. Okay, that's my day. I need to finish getting my steps and then I'm going to settle in front of the TV with dinner and the foot cycle. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

I am thankful it didn’t cloud up or rain today, and I got to see the eclipse. I am also thankful for friends. Where would we be without our friends!?

It's good your friend helps with transport and also good you help with fuel money. A win-win for you both.

Yes, it is. I'm always offering to help with fuel, but they always say no. Yesterday, she needed gas, and I could get it for her. She caved in and finally said yes to giving her fuel.

@JudyEv I'm glad she did too. You're right, and I don't like it that people are taking me where I need to go and not helping to pay for the gas. Paying for the fuel yesterday was a blessing.

I’m thankful I got my internet and cable bill down significantly today. In fact, my bill hasn’t been this low in over ten years.

@AmbiePam Yes, it is significant. I went in to talk to them a couple of weeks ago. The bill will be less than I've ever had it. I needed to wait until today, so it wouldn't mess up the billing.

I'm thankful for the sun. We saw the eclipse, but it was just like a white haze with a slightly dark sky for a few minutes. To far south to see anything. My sister-in-law texted me a meme of horses wearing what looked like bras to shield their eyes from the eclipse.

We only saw a partial eclipse of the sun; we weren't in the direct path of it. I was out mowing our yard when it happened. I am thankful I was able to get that done with the new battery. I am praying I can get the church's done in the morning before the rain moves in. We will be wet for the rest of the week.

I am glad your friend helped you go find eclipse glasses, sorry you cannot find any. I still have those we used in 1999 and in 2017, they will be good in 2027.

I borrowed some at the last eclipse a few years ago, so I didn't have any. I'm glad you have them so you can use them again at the next eclipse.

A lot to be thankful. Thanks that some pending document work got done. That's a big weight off my shoulders. Sorry that you could get hold of the eclipse glasses. I got pictures from my friends and family in the US. It was spectacular.

Yesterday I'm thankful that the homemade viewer worked out great. I was frustrated at first because I couldn't figure out how to view the eclipse with it, but I figured it out. I'm not thankful for the cloud cover though.
