I say it at some point in this series every year and I’ll say it again. I am grateful for Brandy’s blog and the community that has evolved from it. Though I was raised in a frugal family, I learn something new here every week and appreciate the social aspect (support, encouragement, etc.) that appears to be lacking in some other spaces I have explored. It is a gift and I selfishly hope it can continue for many years to come. 🙂

He’s become a wonderful young man and I am so proud of him.

I am thankful for my elderly friend. I saw her today and recent health issues have taken a toll. We must enjoy each other’s company as often as possible.
I, too, am grateful for my local library and the many free resources that keep me learning and engaged. I am grateful that two are within walking distance of my home. One is 20 minutes away and another is about 30 minutes. I am thankful that I can also request books from outside my library system through inter-library loans. That way I can get books I want without having to buy them if I can’t get them through my local library.
