Good evening from sunny Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. It's currently 46 F. It's been a better than good day. I'm thankful I got the sleep I needed and got up at 3:30 this morning. I'm thankful I got the laundry done this morning and have it folded, hung up, and put away. I had more than I thought I had. I try to do laundry every five days. It was seven days today. I'm thankful it dried on the first run on the dryer and I didn't need to put extra money in the dryer. I'm thankful for the time I spent here with you. I've finished the notifications twice and have a boatload again. I'll try to get them done tonight. I'm thankful for the Bible study this afternoon. It was wonderful with seven people today. More than we've had in a long time for Bible study. It gives me hope for prayer tonight. I'm thankful for prayer tonight. I'm thankful for the work I did on In the Hands of Mighty Men. Being a historic novel, I need to get rid of contractions. Lots of work. It's coming along well. I'm thankful I have all my steps. I will also work on the foot cycle after prayer tonight. Okay, that's my day. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

I'm thankful for the plesent weather. George started in long pants, and switched to shorts. He's been more consistant with using nose spray. I hope by doing so it'll stop the nose bleeds. Now that he's been doing it, I think it's helping. He let Chilly out, who has made himself comfortable beside George.

@just4him So far it seems to. Now getting him to understand he still needs his peg tube is another story.

I am thankful I got one of those things that tracks your steps, tells your blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen, and tracks your sleep, at no cost today. I think knowing more about my sleep might really help me.

@AmbiePam I just went to Amazon and ordered a new fitness tracker. I liked the reviews on it and I made certain it would work with my phone before I ordered it. I found I need it with my health insurance. They are finally giving me rewards for exercise. The tracker will help.

I am glad you worked on Hands of Mighty Men, I am sure you are advancing with that book. I am grateful because we had part of our grocery shopping done.

@LadyDuck Thank you. I find myself going back to books I've published from time to time. I want to see them through the readers' eyes. See why they like it. I haven't gotten a bad review yet on a book. That makes me happy. Though it always surprises me when people tell me they love my books.

Thank you. I haven't forgotten what it was about, but I did forget how good it is. I'm enjoying it all over again as I work on it.

You've been keeping busy. I'm thankful for my daughter. She sweetly takes my short stories and keeps tabs on them. I have decided on the story that will be the Yule Tale this coming Christmas. Its been on the burner for far too long. This shortie is actually long.....going to use both sides of the paper when its printed due to it going on for 18 pages. She sent it to Staples. Tomorrow I will look it over and make sure that I didn't get wordy.

@just4him I don't use an edit program of any kind. I'm very old school. Both my husband and daughter are writers. I read aloud, i minutely go over sentences and go from there.

Do you use an edit program? I use Microsoft Editor. It's useful.

I am grateful for setting a low budget for the grocery store today. my peer who took me walked around the store with me and kept track on her phone the total of how much I spent on my groceries and she helped me find some good bargains. I came in $5 under budget. I am grateful as it is easy to spend $100 at the grocery store if one doesn't have someone add up each item with a calculator. Today I spent a lot less than that. I am grateful that I borrowed some new library books today

@just4him thank you! With the help of my peer, I hope to pay my what my budget is or below. I think I am going to enjoy my library books! I got a book by Debbie Macomber who has no idea how to write a bad book, because all of her books are excellent!

I was thankful for a beautiful day here in Mississippi. Sunny skies and a little breeze. I think the temp only got up to 80-82 here. I was in Louisiana most of the day and it was warmer there, 84-85, but still lots of sunshine!

I am thankful that the internet installation is getting closer and closer and that I was able to get a replacement electric can opener and remote. Glad you got so much done today.

I did one load of laundry today and watered all of my vegetables since it hasn't rained in a couple of days. We already had some radishes come up and they were mild really good.

I'm thankful that I got my blood done and I don't have to do that for awhile. I'm not thankful that my blood pressure was a little high and my doctor put me back on water pills.

I'm glad you won't need bloodwork again for a while. I'm glad he gave you water pills to bring it back to normal.

Today is an easy one. I am so thankful that we won the second appeal to keep my husband at the rehab facility. He definitely needs more physical therapy.
