I do have things to be thankful for and even took a photo for today's blog post. Unfortunately when I inserted the SD card into my laptop, it got stuck there and it wouldn't even open. It is still stuck there. I will try again tomorrow but otherwise it might have to wait until someone more competent, namely my son Nathan, is able to remove it.
While you wait, please feel free to click on the link at The Garden Trail and another post is pending, after a gentle admonition from a good friend who reminded me I've been a bit slack there lately. In the meantime, I've added a photo that I recently received, via DVD from my one of my sister-in-laws. Yes, it is similar to another one, but this one is 'new'.
I can not remember a time when I couldn't read, nor a time when I didn't enjoy reading. I would devour books but usually only read them once, even if I own them. I'm happy to lend them out. So today, I am thankful for books. Books include biographies, information, humour and entertainment. The only problem is, I have to read 'one more chapter' before I go to sleep and more than likely, I have to read all the chapters so I can go to sleep. I am also very oblivious to anything going around me and will read even if the TV is blaring in the background. If it's a good book, I will not hear chatter around me and if it's a good book, housework will just have to wait! The longer the book, the longer my enjoyment. I am thankful for books!!
I am thankful that the 'drama' and frustration over being billed by a wrong phone company plus being given misinformation by 'my' phone company, has been sorted out and I don't have to pay that bill. Yay!
I am thankful that today was such a beautiful day, with blue skies and lovely warm sunshine. I went to a new church this morning and this afternoon, I met my son's girlfriend's parents. It was a good day and this photo was taken as I was driving.
I am thankful for my son Nathan. While he was here with me this week, he got the TV/Set top box/DVD working and we watched movies together, he put together the bed that I bought him, so he no longer has to sleep on a mattress on the floor and we just had fun being together.
I am thankful for clotheslines and fresh air. I love the smell of clean sheets when I get into bed. Clothes, linen and other things hung out to dry, smell fresher than if dried in a drier. That's my opinion and like Dave says, "................... are like opinions, everyone has one." Only, in all the unpredictability of my day, I forgot to get my clothes off the line and now it's late and dark out so they'll have to stay there until tomorrow.
This morning I received a Christmas package from Nick and Jennifer. I am so thankful for their love and support and every day I think of them. Jennifer wrote in the card, "We mis you more and more everyday" which is so sweet. In the package was jewelry, photos of the boys and they each coloured in a picture of a horse. They are so thoughtful and of course, I had to call Nick after that and talk to my no-son, Son, some.
