A Different Kind of Thanks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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:

  1. Clotheslines and clothespins – love bringing in freshly laundered sheets and towels.
  2. Falling asleep in peace with no war zones outside my house. Blessed quiet and safety.
  3. Libraries. Love love love the library.
  4. Fine point pens. The skinnier the better.
  5. Birdfeeders and birdseed for my featherly fluttering friends. (repeat that fast 5 times : )
  6. A song in my heart. Continually.
  7. York peppermint patties. Yum.
  8. A featherbed mattress. Yawn.
  9. Candlelight. Warm, inviting, cozy.
  10. 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.
