I am thankful for trees and the shade they provide on the southern side of my house all summer. Between them, the porch that runs along half of the house and the 18 inch overhang from the eaves and the gutters, my house stats cooler because not much sun comes in on that side. We won’t talk about how I feel when all the leaves fall and need to raked and bagged (7 bags so far,)

I am thankful for my eldest son. He’s only three and a half, but he’s such a great helper while I’m so heavily pregnant. I am thankful I can ask him to run and fetch things or to put things away and not have to leave the sofa!

It was lovely to watch them drawing together today, and to see him pass her extra paper and pick up her dropped pencils.
I’m thankful that we were able to afford Driver’s Ed. for our sixteen year old. It’s required in Maryland and the $350 price tag is hard for so many of us. I think of the many families who can’t afford it, as I think it does hinder their children’s future.

I am thankful for the opportunity to learn new things at work all the time, and to pass this knowledge onto younger individuals in my profession. I have been in my profession (CPA) for about 40 years, but there is always something new to learn. I think keeping my brain nimble aids maintaining a healthy brain as I age.

Thank you for this thankful series again this year, Brandy. I have been putting thought to it and including in my journal as well. I am thankful that I have the opportunity to catch up with family and friends long distance over the phone without incurring the “olden days” of when I was a teen in the 80s and it was $1/minute long distance. Before that, we lived in Europe, and communication with family was via letters only. I still do enjoy writing and receiving those.

Today I am thankful for my mom. She taught me lots of things throughout the years but she made sure that I knew to have a well stocked pantry. I know Hubby, I and the kids are fed and my mom and dad are too. With all of the shortages going on it is a comfort to not have to stress over it.

I am thankful for one of those days when I was able to move almost seamlessly from one thing to another to get a lot accomplished.
