I’m thankful my husband is willing to take my daughter to her doctor’s appointment today. I don’t like going to the doctor’s and I was dreading taking her. I asked him this morning and he agreed to take her instead.
What are you thankful for today?

When I was a teenager, my parents used to watch the televsion show, “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”. I remember being so impressed by Wayne Brady, one of the actors on the show, and his ability to make up funny lyrics to songs on the spot. At one point I learned that he was married,…
I am thankful that I was able to go to bed early (7:15!) last night. I’ve been up since 3:00 a.m. with the baby and it would be so much harder to face the day if I hadn’t gotten to bed early. The baby is now asleep (it’s 6:00 a.m.) and I have a load…
I am thankful for my husband in every way.
It was an absolutely gorgeous day, and we were able to fill the trailer twice with the rocks that are our “soil” to take to the dump. I’m grateful for good weather and the help of my family. I’m also grateful for our church’s video today on gratitude! You can watch it here. What are…
November 10th: I’m thankful that my children wanted to set up the Christmas tree early! This is earlier than we had planned; we were going to do it in a couple of weeks. While my husband and I were working outside in the garden, they took down the tree and set it up, fluffed it…
Today, dear readers, I am thankful for all of you. I am thankful for the ways I learn to be more frugal from all of you. I am thankful for the struggles that you share. They are a reminder to me of why I write. I am thankful to know that many of you are…
I am thankful for the engineers of cars and vehicles and roads who make driving so much easier and safer than it used to be.
I’m thankful for the telephone appointment with my doctor’s office and the ease of renewing my prescriptions at my favourite pharmacy. Everything was taken care of within 48 hours and the new prescriptions (4 pills plus an epi-pen) cost me a grand total of $3.08 for the admin fee – very thankful for Govt. Health Insurance!
I’m thankful for the people, computers and machines that keep our water clean and flowing to the house, run the sanitation plants, keep our electricity on and collect our trash.
I am thankful for good neighbors. We know almost all of our neighbors here and several of them have become good friends.
I am thankful for my SAD light. It helps me feel (and act) like a nicer human being this time of year.
SAD = Seasonal Affective Disorder.
I am thankful for our chimney sweep who cleaned three chimneys today and left each room spotless. We are now set for winter fires and can light our range cooker too.
I’m thankful for books and libraries.
I am thankful for good health and needing no drugs.
Today I am thankful for my health and the health of my family.
It was a joy to watch DS playing with the dog across the street after he came home from work the last couple days and how much fun they had. The dog’s owner is very sick so he hasn’t gotten much attention the last year or so. On a sad note, today DH had the car out and it started getting cooler so I decided to close the front drapes. As I walked in the LR I noticed the dog sitting on their sidewalk facing our house, looking down the street at times, like he was patiently waiting for DS to come home. He usually stays in back. I told DS to look out his window and he saw it too. DH came home a few minutes later and the dog had kind of a sad look when he realized it wasn’t DS. I am sure he will realize that DS comes and goes at different times but it was sweet how much that attention meant to him.
I am thankful for time with siblings today enjoying coffee around the kitchen table.
I’m thankful as well for my husband taking my daughter to her optometry appointment.
I am very thankful that I have such a comfortable bed. I’ve spent so much time in bed over the past 2.5 years that it became important for it to be comfortable and not cause more problems. I think that I slept much less when raising children because the bed was uncomfortable and I didn’t know it. A piece of thick foam and comfy sheets + comforter have transformed my time in bed resting or sleeping.
I am thankful my husband reinstalled the mirror on my dresser today. It has been sitting in the garage since January when we moved the dresser out of house so we could work on our remodel. It’s lovely to have it back!
My husband is not handy and dislikes doing these kinds of things. It meant a great deal!

I am thankful that DH could put up 2 x 5 shelf storage units in the walk in pantry and one in the laundry for putting more food storage and cleaning products 🙂 . Grateful the smaller shelving unit that was in the laundry fits in our upstairs bathroom to store personal care items on.
Happy also that I could rearrange some food in the walk in the pantry on to shelves that are spare now the personal care items are in the bathroom.
In our new home, we inherited some custom-made Levelor metal blinds. One day, one of the strings wasn’t working properly. My husband did his best to fix it. Ultimately, I found some one who would make a house call. He restrung a section and also replaced one of the wands to turn the blinds, which had broken off. He charged $40, which I thought was very reasonable. Much less expensive than having new blinds made. I use the blinds daily to keep the temperature controlled in my bedroom.
