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,…
Today, I am thankful for a new can opener. Last week I had to buy a new can opener. As I stood at the store, looking at the can openers, I was reminded of a time when we were living on our food storage, and buying nothing, as we had no income. Our can opener…

Today I am thankful for the rain, that I have come to realize through reading this blog, is scarce in other parts of the country.
I am thankful for the freedom to worship as I choose. I am also thankful for beautiful fall weather which allows us to keep the doors and windows open, as well as making time outside pleasant.
I’m thankful for the ability to work. I don’t just mean my paid employment (although I’m grateful for my job because it provides financial stability and the ability to do ‘extras’) but for a body which is capable of physical labor, and a mind which is capable of thinking through a problem in order to find a practical solution. I work with elderly people who have in many cases lost the ability of physical labor or strategic thinking; and I am grateful I can work.
I am thankful for the book The Giving Tree. Every time I readit, it lifts my spirit.
I am thankful for your blog, Brandy. I has given me permission to be frugal in ways I didn’t think I could be and offers so many suggestions on how we can live much more simply. I have learned to look at what we have access to, think outside the box and find ways to help us keep our budget low. I am truly grateful for all of the suggestions and ideas presented here by you as well as everyone who comments on your blog.
