18 December - What I'm Thankful for Today

It's windy and cold in Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. I'm thankful my tree is anchored to the balcony. I tightened up the garland and put more heavier rocks around the bottom. It's moving, but not nearly as much as it was when I got up this morning. I'm thankful for the exercise class this morning and getting the rest of my steps later in the morning. It's been a good day for moving the joints. I even met people in the halls and talked for a bit on my trek around. I'm thankful for the work I did on Wilderness Challenge. I'm getting close to the end. I'm all caught up to where I left off before I inserted the chapters. I have about 55 pages to go. I'm thankful for spending time with you, and getting the notifications finished so I could see what's happening in your world. You're a special part of my life every day. I'm thankful I went over to my neighbor's earlier. Nobody home, and I don't know what time they left, so I've been taking care of Missy. Okay, that's my day. Time for me to get off the computer and rest my back. It gets sore being on the computer for as long as I am every day, except Sunday. Thanks for reading. What are you thankful for today? The image belongs to me. Childhood Christmas.

Your photo is sweet. And right now, to me, your world sounds very cold. I'm grateful for having a full stomach.

@just4him That sounds like a good time to hide under an electric blanket.

@sallypup I don't have one of those. I have a nice warm blanket and a quilt.

It is cold. The weather tonight said it got to 41 mph winds today. Our temps were in the low 30s and will be in the teens by morning. Tomorrow will be 30s again and then we go back to the 40s for most of next week.

@just4him Turns out it's not my sciatica. I have a blockage. Have to go to the ER.

My first pair of glasses looked like that. What's that dark circle on the wall?

@just4him I had a choice between those (light brown) and black ones like my mother's.

A homemade Christmas wreath. Somehow, I remember making it. I think everybody's first pair of glasses looked like that. My new ones look like that. What was old is new again.

I am thankful it feels like winter out, although it didn't this afternoon and that I have an event to go to.

I'm glad it feels like winter. I'm glad you have an event to go to. Did you find the shirt you wanted or are you wearing the gaudy one?

@just4him I did..actually I wore neither. It was on the cold side tonight so I wore a red, kind of a ski sweater type with a design..and a Santa hat. Isn't it past your bedtime?

@snowy22315 Yes, an hour past. I thought I would clear up the notifications before going to bed. Looks like I'll get up late tomorrow morning. We'll see. The ski sweater sounds warm and would go well with the Santa hat.

Not thankful for cramps. But I'm thankful for getting to work on my best-friend's diamond painting.

I know and it's sad so many people aren't thankful. The world would be a better place if more people were thankful.

Well, you had a lot to be thankful for today. And, you even added a very cute picture of yourself. Reminded me of a picture of myself.

You're welcome. I was in fourth grade in that photo. My mom made dresses for my sister and me. Red velvet bodice and white skirt. I don't know what the fabric was, but it was nice.

I love that photo. Your Christmas trees were as large as the ones my parents bought always towering above me, As I previously mentioned the Christmas money gift my friends sent me and I thanked the Lord for my friends, Now just have to get to the bank since it makes more sense to add it to my account instead of just spending it,

Hello, my name is Yerko and I am new here. It is a very nice photo and very beautiful words. I am grateful to have the parents that I have had. My father left 5 years ago and I still miss him. Today I have my mother left, my memory of her is not the same but she is still for me the most wonderful woman in the world. Furthermore, I am always grateful for each day that is given to me. Greetings.
