Good evening from sunny, warm Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. It's currently 78 F. Repeat after me - SUMMER! We still have four weeks until the beginning of summer.
Today has been a good day. I didn't get any bookwork done as I planned, but it's still been good.
I'm thankful for a full night's sleep. I got a little over 8 hours.
I'm thankful I ran the dishwasher this morning when I got up.
I'm thankful for the time I spent with you this morning and just now. I have all the notifications finished. It's always good to know what's going on in your world.
I'm thankful for benches. I sat on all but one on my way back to my apartment.
I'm thankful for the walking I did on the trail today. I didn't expect to go on all three, but I did and got some great pictures on the pond of a goose family. Mom and Pop and three goslings, though they're probably teenagers by the size of them. It took me over two hours for the walk, and yes, I'm exhausted. It's the good exhausted, knowing you did something worthwhile.
Okay, that's my day. I only want to put my feet up at this point. I don't know if I'm going to work the foot cycle. If I do, it will be maybe half an hour.
What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. Here's a picture of the geese family.

Thankful the rain was very light this morning and turned to just a drizzle for the afternoon. I talked the stubborn man into going to the flea market with me this afternoon and he stopped in a pawn shop/antique store combo that he had been wanting to stop and browse at. We picked up dinner on the way home! It was a nice afternoon out of the house!

What a productive day.
I'm thnkful for the weather. I'm glad we got rain, but we also got sun. I'm thankful tomorrow is Saturday and I won't be fielding calls from doctor's offices for a couple of days. It's been crazy with computer malfuctions and mix-up's. As it happens, I'm thankful George still has his peg tube and I can get food into him, especially since he can be difficult when it comes to eating. He wants it out, but he needs to learn to stop saying 'later' when I offer him something. I find the oddest things to be thankful for.

@just4him Yes, I do. And, I don't take any of it for granted.

I'm thankful we finally got a good rain and I'm thankful we still have another appeal that we can make for my husband's residency at the rehab facility. Have a great weekend.

@LindaOHio I have a feeling most people there take things as a matter of course. They're not used to people fighting for their spouses' rights.

@just4him Thanks. I'm getting tired of having to fight for what my husband should be getting anyway.

Sounds like a full day especially with all the walking! But sounds like a good day and that is good. Didn't feel like summer here today sadly and next week doesn't look too promising.

There are many things in every day to be thankful for if we choose too. Pushing ourselves to go a little beyond what we are used to feels good. Proud of you for enjoying a walk.

I like the picture! I’m thankful for my dad, who brought me a spare set of my keys, as well as some stuffed bell peppers. He was also nice to take an away a bag I have for the church garage sale. It’s been in my apartment for two weeks, and I really don’t need the clutter. I tell you, I donated some good stuff! I hope they make good money off of it.

I'm thankful for the sunshine now. The weather man said it was supposed to rain all day. Glad he was wrong.

I just love reading your Thankful Posts.
It's quite contagious to me. It's because of these posts that I am able to appreciate the little things in life more.
As for today, I am thankful that:
1. I was able to do the laundry;
2. I get to wake up in the morning with my partner, and was able to cuddle with her;
3. My partner and I were able to eat a proper meal;
4. The heat of the sun is there to dry all the laundry; and
5. I was able to finish cleaning the house.
