It's been a good day today. I have much to be thankful for on this mildly cold day in Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA where the temperature is 17 F and feels like 11 F. I must be getting used to the cold. It feels warmer than that. I'm thankful I could go to my aunt's funeral this morning. It was good to see my cousins from every family on my mom's side of the family, and one I haven't seen in decades because he calls home in Kenya, South Africa. He's a missionary there. He came home for his mother's funeral. He talked to his mother before she passed, which was good. After the service we went to the luncheon where I embarrassed myself, getting my cousins mixed up with what family they belonged to. It was a good laugh. I had more than I needed to eat, but it was good. I'm thankful I was on hand when the elevator went into shut down mode with a woman trapped inside. I called the office and not talking to anyone except the automated, I hustled over there and talked to them. Maintenance was here by the time I got back. It was my second time over there since I got back from the funeral, so I guarantee you I have all my steps and a lot more. My first time over there when I got home turned out to be a blooper call. I received a call from the office on my way to the funeral. She hung up before I could answer. She realized she had called the wrong person and hung up before I answered. So, all was good. Yes, I have much to be thankful for today. It was a day of blessings seeing my cousins and my aunt and uncle. Above is a picture from another funeral of some of my cousins I saw today. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. This is the oldest daughter of my aunt who passed away.

I'm thankful it went well for you. I'm thankful it warmed up nice today and George was able to go outside in his t-shirt. I'm also thankful George asked me for clothes and to change his pants. Every so often he'll ask for help,but, most of the time he'll do it himself. I've taken to making him to stand when he takes off his pants, not only to help strengten his legs, but helps prevents tearing of materal that's already getting holes.
