Thankful: November 12th
I’m thankful for the opportunity to go garage sale shopping with my mom this morning. It’s an unexpected trip; we usually only go on two Saturday mornings a year. She found a community sale for us to attend, and while I think it’s much smaller than where we usually go (probably one tract, versus an…
Thankful: November 6th
Earlier this spring (as pictured in the photo) only a few of these miniature daffodils bloomed. I figured they were probably getting too crowded and needed to be divided. Because we are changing up the garden, I spent yesterday digging these out. They had multiplied exceedingly! I’m thankful that bulbs multiply and flowers go to…
Thankful: November 9th and 10th
Last night I went to bed and fell asleep right away, so I did not get my post up. Tonight’s post is for yesterday and today. I am thankful for social media. A lot is said about the negative sides of social media, but I have found there is a lot of good if we…

I’m thankful to be able to physically work in the garden today. What are you thankful for today?
Thankful: November 1st
Each November, I post a series of gratitude. I share one thing I am thankful for that day and invite readers to do the same. Today, I am thankful for the freedom to choose how to educate my children. Up until 2 1/2 months ago, I had always homeschooled my children. On the first day…
Thankful: November 13th and 14th
I am thankful for e-books from the library, and a phone on which to read them. I have only had a cell phone for the last 7 years now, as it was too expensive to do so before (when they raised taxes and rates on my home phone with no long distance or call waiting…
Today I am thankful for my boys. They are grown. I am glad that I get to talk to them often.
I am thankful that a suspected fault with my car turns out to be nothing.

I lost my husband in March. I’m grateful for the 27 years we had together ❤️
I am thankful for a new doctor for a family member.
I am thankful for the mild weather we’re having. It is a nice break from the extreme cold and wet heavy snow that we’ve had early this year. I am thankful that we raised some money on our silent at auction for our ladies club scholarship, loan and grant program and that one of our nominees received a grant of $3,000. I love helping young women in financial need apply for assistance. It i inspiring to meet such bright young women.
I am grateful to live in a community where we look out for each other. We teach each other in exercise classes, offer rides when needed, walk together, watch movies together, and are interested in one another’s well-being.
I’m thankful for a chance to visit not-local family this weekend. We don’t see each other often enough.
I was really tired the other night and was so happy to pull on my flannel nightgown and climb into bed to read a while before sleep. I realized how thankful I am for my flannel nightgowns. I’m pretty sure living through all those Minnesota winters has something to do with that. 😊
I am thankful for our baby, who will be one on Friday. It was such a hard pregnancy, really a colossal struggle for the whole family, but she brings so much joy to all of us. I hoped all through every miserable day of that pregnancy that I would be looking back in gladness one day, and I absolutely am. Worth every second!
I am thankful for people who give unexpected compliments, because those are the best kind! Case in point: I got in line at the post office yesterday, and the woman in front of me, who I know slightly, turned around to see who was there, and said, “Oh, Hello, Heidi! I thought I felt something warm behind me.”
I shall see if I can spread her friendliness this week.
I’m thankful for the gift of being able to spend time with another granddaughter and pass on tips and knowledge about baking. We had such a fun time!
I am thankful that I was able to listen when a friend needed to talk.
I am so thankful for those who came before me in my family, who were such great people and left a legacy of hard work, perseverance, caring and love.
We have moved to an area of the country (northern VA) that is much more costly than I was used to. Not what we were expecting in retirement! But family is here, and we need to make this work.
So I am thankful that I live within walking distance of a reasonably-priced grocery store (Lidl — similar to Aldi.) Both the prices and the walk do me good.
I am thankful for a restful weekend with church fellowship and good food, rain, and cozy, warm clothes to wear.
I am thankful to be able to answer the voicemail for my husband and son. I can do this from home.
I am also thankful, very thankful, that we were able to find what my husband needs for ski instructing. He’s the disorganized sort (but he tries) so I sneak in and get all together in the spring. Sometimes I do a better job than others. This year went well!!!!
I’m so thankful for a midwife who answered her phone at 4:59pm today, just a minute before she was supposed to be closed, and she helped me get a prescription sorted out that the pharmacy had messed up. Just grateful- I really needed that medicine and would have had to wait until Monday to get the issue fixed had she not been so compassionate.
