It might be too early to say the weatherman lied. No snow yet today. Still, there is plenty to be thankful about. I'm thankful I got up at 3 this morning. I've managed to get a lot done so far today. I'm thankful I got the living room and dining room vacuumed. I don't vacuum very often, but with the vacuum cleaner taken out of the closet and staring at me, I knew I better do something with it. I'm thankful I have the dusting done for another year. I'm thankful my neighbor's husband came and put my village pieces on top of the cupboards. They look good there. I'm thankful I changed the furniture around in the living room. It's looking good. I'm not finished yet. I'll finish it when I post this. I'm thankful for the work I did on Love's Illusion. It's going well. Okay, that's what I'm thankful for today. I still have a lot to do before I call it quits. I better do it while I'm in the mood to get this all done. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

So much to be thankful for, for 55 years being here on earth. Thankful for my good parents, disciplinarians but not abusive, in any way. Thankful for my older sister, whom I've become closer after our parents passing. Thankful to have a daughter whom I learned some cooking techniques and even organizing. I'm thankful for the house where we are in right now, simple but liveable. Thankful for the convenience we experience. Thankful for technology, because without it, communication will still be as slow as a turtle. Technology also is the reason for better economy now, compared to when there was no modern technology, there was no way that we'll know what's going on in other countries, we'll not know about food recalls, we'll never know about the latest inventions or life-saving medicines. Technology is the reason why we, here in MyLot are able to share our thoughts and feelings and experiences too!. Thankful for the gift of stray cats, whom I hold dearly in my heart. Hoping they will stay safe for the rest of their lives, they are well-fed by generous people. Thankful for the remaining nature that hopefully will never be touched by greedy businessmen.

You have much to be thankful for. I'm glad you're thankful for your parents and family. I agree, without technology, life would be harder.

I also need to vacuum. I am considering going down, vacuuming the carpet in the living room and washing the floor in the kitchen.

@just4him - I stopped procrastinating, I washed the kitchen floor, vacuumed the living and dining room. I want a clean house to start the new year.

I need to wash the kitchen floor. I'll do that today. I have the bathroom done now, and the laundry is almost finished. It's in the dryer. Edit - The laundry is done and put away.

I'm thankful my back isn't hurting right now. Got a late start; but I'm always thankful for my friends here on MyLot. I posted a Discussion this morning about a possible polar vortex bringing really cold air and ice and snow to North America in January. You might be getting your s**w soon enough! Have a good weekend and a safe and happy New Year.

Oh, did I ever have a good laugh over this one, Valerie~~ ''I'm thankful I have the dusting done for another year.'' The next time I seriously dust, which I detest but do it, I will remember that line!! I am thankful my son is still trying, he has been so very ill this week.

I'm glad I could give you a good laugh. I detest it too. I think it's been a year since I dusted. I know it's been a while. I know it will be next year before I dust again. I'm glad your son is still trying.

@MarieCoyle I know. It's right up there with cleaning the refrigerator. I need to do that too. I wonder when I'll get that one done.

@just4him Dusting is so, so boring. I know it has to be done, but that doesn't mean I have to like it!

You did get a lot done for the day. It is 54 here today and quit raining. So we put hamburger on the grill outside and had pork beans with them. The two kids next door wanted a hamburger so we gave them ours and put two more on the grill.

I just read that your area might have a warmer than normal January. We should be moderately warmer here also. I am thankful for that in my area.
