I am thankful for the weaknesses of my children. In them, I see the weaknesses I had as a child: the child who loses things, the child who struggles to memorize the multiplication table, the child who understands the algebra concepts and memorizes the formulas but makes simple errors when executing the problem, the child…

I’m thankful that my current skin cancer check found no cancer this time! Usually, that is not the case. I had surgery in the past for skin cancer (on my head in my part) a little over five years ago, and usually, the doctor finds new cancer on my face each time. I have become…

Many years ago, as a university student, I took a New Testament class from a great professor. I later became his teacher’s assistant until the time of his “official” retirement at the age of 72. He lived another 20 years, though, working and researching continuously. Today, I found a listing about him on Wikipedia, and…

Today I’m thankful for my sweet children–for their love and affection, for their giggles, and for their tears, that remind me that all things shall pass; that we overcame the things that were hard for us as children, just as we will get past the things that are hard for us as adults. I’m looking…

I am thankful for our custodian at work – not only does he make our building shine and keep it in good repair, he shares his Mother’s cookies with us! He is a widower with grown children and his mother is a blue-ribbon state fair cookie champion multiple times over – he can never eat on his own the volume of cookies he receives, so he shares with us. And, to top it all off, he’s a super nice and thoughtful person. We’re definitely spoiled!
I am thankful for frugal living sources, especially Amy Dacyzyn and the Tightwad Gazette, which got me started, and Brandy and The Prudent Homemaker website, which keeps me going. Both have practical and creative ideas for living a great life less expensively. I am an analyst both by trade and naturally because that’s how my mind works. Amy’s practical, logical experiments and writings really appeal to me as do Brandy’s weekly frugal accomplishments. I am also thankful for everyone that shares their experiences in the comments. I still miss Marivene and hope her family is doing well.
For people who teach!
We went to the movies today and saw “Harriet” about the life of Harriet Tubman. A highly recommended movie highlighting a godly woman who rescued slaves after escaping slavery herself. One of the good stories of history. What courage.
I am thankful for those who have this courage to do God’s work and fight against evil.

I am thankful for easy-to-prepare meals today, including a scrambled egg and vegetable sandwich for lunch and pasta with pasta sauce for supper. I was too tired to make anything complicated, but there was no need for fast food either.
Thankful for a full freezer, courtesy of some great sales, with money leftover in my monthly food budget.
I am thankful for all the people that post here on a weekly basis to share their frugal ideas and accomplishments. I learn so much from all of you. And, thank you, Brandy, for hosting and sharing parts of your life with us.
I am thankful that 30 years ago, I read the Parade article about Amy Dacyczyn and unleashed my inner frugalista. I grew up poor and always knew how to stretch a buck, but society’s expectations waylaid me for awhile. I am happy to report that when we retired 13 years ago, we were debt free and owned our house outright. (And still are, and still do).
Maxine, I, too was always able to live within my means, and did so out of necessity. But reading that article in Parade Magazine changed how I viewed life. I realized there were others who felt like me about money and were unashamed about it. It became a fun game to see how well we could do.
We are in our seventies now and retirement house and two cars were paid for in cash. We traveled for years. We both had very modest incomes during our earning years.
I wish Amy would write a piece and bring us up to date on her life.
Today I am thankful for phone issues being resolved and for an hour of walking time outside.
