Good afternoon. It's a warm one out there. I have much to be thankful for today. I'm sorry I forgot the health report. I'll have it tomorrow.
I'm thankful for the sleep I got. It was disjointed again as I slept in the recliner and my bed. I'm just not comfortable. My back is painful. However, I slept and that's the main thing.
I'm thankful for the exercise class this morning. I put six miles on the bike while they worked out to the longer tape.
I'm thankful I had a late start eating. One meal and I'm full to the brim. Not many calories. If I have anything more, I have ice cream in the freezer for these hot days.
I'm thankful for the work I did on Guns of War. I think I'm finished with the additions for the first chapter. It sounds good.
I'm thankful I spent time here with you. I finished the notifications twice today. It's always good to see what you're doing in your part of the world.
I'm thankful I got my sister's birthday cards in the mail before the mailman showed up. I was eating lunch on the patio when I saw his truck leave. So, I know she will get them on time. Her birthday is next Saturday.
I'm thankful I ordered a mattress topper for my bed that is supposed to alleviate back pain. I hope so. There were a lot of reviews and the rating for pain relief was high. I also got a coupon to use with the order, so that was good.
Okay, that's my day. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

Sleep is good, even if it's not where or how much you want it to be. So, I'm glad you got some and sorry about your back.
I'm thankful for the thunderstorm we're getting and I didn't get caught in it. I'm thankful for my husband and he being retired. He can be a real life saver. So both those things are things to be thankful for.

Hello Valerie, It's good to see your such a nice post. I think we should thankful for everything we have now and accordingly I am also thankful for everything I have now like:
1. I have my working hands which help me to complete my food and other works on time without depending on others. Actually this was my observation when I was finding something I should be thankful for...and I found someone without his hands. So, I found myself a fortunate person who is having his working hands.
2. I have my working legs which help me to mobilize myself from one place to another with proper and less consumption of time.
3. I have my loving parents, friends, brothers and sisters which make me motivated so that I should not divert from my aim. My friends support me in every challenging task and help me in all possible ways to achieve it.
There are millions of things I am thankful for...but i mentioned some of things which I found proper to mention. I appreciate your efforts on this such a lovely and nice post.

@just4him We bought one several years ago and it helped a lot. Since then we have been buying the air beds and like them

@wolfgirl569 One I looked at was an air bed. I've had one and it didn't hold the air. I won't buy them again.

I hope the mattress topper works. I haven't slept in bed for years and years. I fall asleep sitting up in my recliner. Whenever I read your posts I get such a taste for ice cream. I will have to give in one of these times. Thankful for my home and husband. Enjoy your weekend.

Mattress toppers can help alleviate pain. Finding the best one can be challenging.
A friend of mine has a sleep number mattress and she loves it. The unfortunate thing is the price. She said its worth every penny, but when you are pinching pennies it is out of reach.

Avoid sleeping on Soft mattress bed. Because soft beds cause back pain, stiff neck. Soft mattress bed is not good for human. Always buy little hard mattress such as memory foam mattress. I am glad you buyed mattress topper hope it work for you. If it's don't work then try to sleep on floor without mattress. Because mattress is the main problem. So if we avoid sleeping on. This will help.

@mdmaaf123 I have always liked a good firm mattress. It's seven years old and shouldn't be giving me this trouble. I've had older mattresses that didn't give me this much pain.
Welcome to myLot.
