It’s the beginning of November, and that means it’s time for my daily gratitude posts!
Each day in November, I share one thing for which I am grateful for that day, and I invite my readers to do the same!
Today, I am very grateful for my dearest friend, who makes my life more joyful.
What are you grateful for today?
Earlier this spring (as pictured in the photo) only a few of these miniature daffodils bloomed. I figured they were probably getting too crowded and needed to be divided. Because we are changing up the garden, I spent yesterday digging these out. They had multiplied exceedingly! I’m thankful that bulbs multiply and flowers go to…
Today, I am thankful to finally have a great pair of earbuds. I’ve been able to listen to music while staying up late to make pies for Thanksgiving without waking anyone! What are you thankful for today?
I’m thankful that I slept until my alarm went off, rather than awakening 90 minutes earlier like I have most days this past week. What are you thankful for today?
Today, I’m thankful for a referral from a friend for a last-minute photo shoot of some friends of hers! What are you thankful for today?
I’m thankful for a warm bed and a roof over my head. What are you thankful for today?
I’ve gone to bed exhausted the last several days, as we’ve been shoveling the rocks that are our native garden “soil” and loading them onto a trailer to take to the dump. So, today’s post is for both yesterday and today. While my husband was getting rid of the rocks, I took a few minutes…
We had to get some unexpected, very expensive van repairs. It was so expensive that it drained our savings account and we had to put a little on a credit card. This is the first time we’ve used a credit card in decades and we were worried about paying it off. We’ll about a week after this happened we received a rebate from our health insurance company that will cover the credit card bill with some to spare. :-). God is so good!!!
I love this!!!!
I am thankful to have a healthy body. It allows me to go on so many adventures.
I am thankful that I set up dinner in the crock pot before work. It is one of my favorite appliances. Take out is getting so expensive that we can’t really do it more then one a month. There is plenty of leftovers for several lunches.
I am thankful my husband took a mental health day and we go to spend time together. ❤️
Marybeth,
I am thankful for my crockpot as well. I use it all the time now, and have got one of my daughters using it as well. As a vegan, I specialize in soups from dried beans, which are delicious! In fact, I have one of my daughters now using one, and it was fun to teach her recipes..
I’m thankful for the beautiful, warm and sunny fall day we had here in Minnesota today.
I am thankful for my family, and the many ways (large and small) that we care for each other, and for our little dog, who brings light and joy into our lives every day.
I’m grateful that when I was in a car accident several weeks ago–(another driver hit me from behind when I was stopped at a red light)–no one was hurt. Her insurance company totalled my car and the payout ended up being more than what I paid for my car intially. I was able to pay off 2 small debts and put the rest down on a new -to -me car, (which will now be my only debt). I should be able to pay it off fairly quickly. The insurance company also sent me a check for $125 since I didn’t use a rental. I was thankful for the car I had but it’s so nice to pick out something I really wanted, within my means. 😀 GOD is so Good!!
Ah, another reason to love November – I so enjoy these posts!
Today I am grateful that the dealership I took my car to for a recall had a loaner ready (they needed my car all day), and that everything is completely covered. Also very grateful that in the meantime the issue that was identified by the manufacturer didn’t cause any issues for me out on the road the past few years, considering we drove across the country three times during moves!
Happy November, all!
Your roses remind me of how grateful I am for the beauty of nature in all seasons
I am thankful for my husband’s many kindnesses.
Glad you are posting this again this year!
I am thankful that I was able to donate blood today. I donate every 2 months. Last time my iron was in the lower range–I was afraid I was going to be too low this time. My iron was a bit lower today, but still high enough to donate!
I am grateful that you donated blood! Our son has needed many, many transfusions and always we say a little prayer of gratitude to the generous people who roll up their sleeves to save the lives of unknown patients. Thank you!
I am especially thankful for my mother today as it is my birthday. She had attended a Halloween party dressed as Mother Nature and I arrived a few hours later. She continues to be one of my biggest supporters and one of the greatest gifts of my life is getting to know her as an adult and count her as a friend as well as my mom.
Thank you for continuing this tradition, Brandy! I enjoy the time for reflection every year. 🙂
I hope you had a lovely birthday and wish you many more!
Making friends with one’s parent/s is a wonderful gift.

This made me smile. What a great story!

I am grateful that my husband is home with me after being in the hospital because of a heart attack.
Me too!
If I lived nearby, I would be bringing you a meal or two!
Hi Brandy,
I know you would! You are such a good person.
I am thankful for a job that provides me paid time off so that I was able to take a much needed planned mental health day. I decorated for Thanksgiving my favorite holiday, read & relaxed.
I am thankful for the beautiful fall we are having this year. Todays high is expected to be 75! I remember an awful blizzard we had (1993 I think) that forced us home early from trick or treating.
I am thankful for my husband. He’s always top of my list! I am especially thankful that he’s so willing to handle three children under five years old when I need to go to appointments, which I have had a lot of lately due to some health issues.
I’m thankful that all of my adult children live nearby. I get to see them and their families often which is a true blessing.
I grateful for my church family, always ready to help in times of need.
I am grateful I took the time to put snow tires on my car last week. We have a big storm coming in today. While I only drive when needed and bundle stops, I am thankful that I can drive more safely.
I am grateful for my husband. He is a hard worker and great father and husband. He’s selfless.
I’m grateful for my sweet grand daughter that I get to see weekly!!
Simple pleasures. Warmth, kindness, laughter, water.
I am thankful for a clean bill of health after a three year struggle that included a cancer scare and surgery.
I am thankful for flannel sheets. I love how comfy and cozy they make our bed feel this time of year.
I am thankful for my grandchildren, and for the fact that I get to see them regularly. Not all grandparents live close enough to be able to do that.
I’m grateful for a faithful husband of 27 years who is also my best friend.
I am thankful that my daughter, who swerved to avoid something in the road and rolled her car at 75 mph., ending up in the middle of the divided highway, was able to walk away with no real injuries. Thankful also for kind drivers (including an EMT and a judge) who stopped immediately to help her and get her an ambulance to be checked out at the hospital.
Me too!
I am grateful for my family—especially a new son-in-law and a new daughter-in-law that we gained this past summer.
I am thankful for my employer’s generous benefits package even with the rising costs of health insurance.
Merci pour ce que vous faites. Cela apporte beaucoup de joie et nous réconforte dans les moments difficiles.
Véro
I’m thankful for the large mall that we take a walk in. I get to window shop and stop and smell the candles!
I am grateful for having a loving Mom until she was 92. She passed away this past summer. I miss her so much.
I am thankful for a last hurrah of Fall with a beautifully warm 1st day of November before Winter set in. I played outside in the leaves with my little guys for a couple hours and got some wonderful photos as well!
I am grateful for my grandkids-both the teens and the littles. Being part of their lives brings me joy.
I am grateful for my husband and his skills to improve our house. Right now, he’s my hero.
I’m grateful to see you posting again!
Just thankful for my good husband who has loved me forever and vice versa. Thankful for my good friends,Thankful for my right to vote! And, thankful for the possibility of a beautiful future, up ahead. M
I’m thankful for my daughters, who bring meaning and joy to my life.
Thank you for doing this, Brandy. Among the many things I have to be thankful for, right now I’m thankful for a comfortable, warm home to return to on a chilly day.
Thank-you Brandy. I’m thankful for my son.
