What are you thankful for?
No, wait…don’t answer yet!
I want you to think of simple things. Not the normal rote response to that question: my home, husband, job, etc. This is all good but I’d like you to go beyond that today.
I’m thankful for:
- Clotheslines and clothespins – love bringing in freshly laundered sheets and towels.
- Falling asleep in peace with no war zones outside my house. Blessed quiet and safety.
- Libraries. Love love love the library.
- Fine point pens. The skinnier the better.
- Birdfeeders and birdseed for my featherly fluttering friends. (repeat that fast 5 times : )
- A song in my heart. Continually.
- York peppermint patties. Yum.
- A featherbed mattress. Yawn.
- Candlelight. Warm, inviting, cozy.
- Lists. Keeping me organized. I could keep going but now it’s your turn…
And the winner of Hello, Hollywood is – Anita! Please send me your mailing address.
I love your list of thanks! Thank you for the reminder to look for the special blessings of life!

I’m thankful that I can read. I recently volunteered to be a tutor for our local literacy coalition. I can’t imagine not being able to read!
I’m thankful for my two cats. They have brought love and joy into my life. They are my “girls”.
I’m thankful for the internet. I have made some very special friends from out in cyberspace.
I’m thankful for all the normal things like husband, home, children, grandchildren, etc.
I’m thankful for a Creator Who loves me and watches over me.
I humbly give thanks from a very grateful heart.
Happy Thanksgiving, Cynthia!
