I am thankful for a little boy who was listening at church, even when I thought he wasn’t. I know he was listening, because the speaker said he was grateful for the prayers that had been made on his behalf. My young son whispered to me, “What’s a bee half?” What are you thankful for…

I am thankful to be back online! Yesterday morning, I unintentionally downloaded several viruses onto my computer! Using free programs, and some serious searching and manula deleting (the viruses installed themselevs in mutiple places and made the folders hidden), I was able to remove the viruses and get back online (just now). I am…

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…

I’m thankful that I took the time on Monday to encourage an online friend who was feeling very down. I asked her how she was feeling on Tuesday and she said she was feeling much better. Yesterday, her husband posted on her Facebook account that she had a heart attack and was in the hospital….
I thankful for a city building our group can meet at for no charge to hang out, run around, and play board games.
After a few years of not having a house, our stuff in storage and putting together places to live, we now have a small cabin for my son to use while going to college on land I grew up on. And we have a house where we have enough bedrooms and all of our favorite family things. I am thankful to have this stability in our lives. We are walking through the fires of life and not smelling like smoke!
I am thankful that I am not famous and subject to either lavish praise or horrible ridicule online by people who do not know me. Being ordinary and middle class suits me just fine.
Very well put.
Nov. 14–I am thankful that my son fixed the scratch that went the whole length of the passenger side of our 2018 SUV (wouldn’t have been so bad if it had been the old truck). Not sure, but I think it was a shopping cart run amok in the Fred Meyer parking lot.
Forgot to mention it yesterday, but that was a really cute picture of you!

Ellie’s Friend mentioned Velcro two days ago, and I am thankful that I raised a son in a time when velcro, double-knit, easy care, stretch cotton fabrics were the norm for children’s clothing. I admire vintage-looking outfits for toddlers, but I sure do not want to even think about putting him in something I had to starch and iron! Or maneuver around glass dishes and bottles instead of (recyclable) plastic ones. Remember when shampoo bottles were glass?
More broadly, I am so thankful that my son was born at a time when special needs people are being recognized as people of inherent dignity and worth, just as all people are. His diagnosis is on the autism spectrum. When he was in first grade and his occupational therapist tried to get him to learn to tie his shoes, he told her that when he was grown up, he would buy all the velcro in the world for shoes. He has worn velcro shoes ever since.
Heidi Louise,
I love your son’s comment to his occupational therapist!
I am thankful that I have finally reached a place in my life where I am more content and appreciative of the good things. Sometimes there are situations and people you can’t change so I’ve tried to change my outlook. It’s not always easy but now at least I can count my blessings and focus on the people and things that are good in my life.

I am thankful that the Christmas music channel is back on our tv. I LOVE Christmas, but am holding myself back on putting up the Christmas tree. However, I will allow myself to listen to Christmas music. Please don’t judge me. ?
No judgment here. We live in Texas where it was in the 70s yesterday. Christmas music helps me feel the holidays are here. I’m originally from the Mid West whee it felt like Thanksgiving in November!
