Day 21 TDOT

The week is officially here...Thanksgiving Week...after Thursday, and only then can anything Christmas take on meaning.

I will enjoy this holiday to the fullest...but come Friday...well...here it comes.

So, now to the thankful part of this blog.

Thankful for a full belly and my hubby that ran out to get dinner.

Thankful for a working washer and dryer, I kept them busy today

Thankful for good neighbors

And before the evening gets away from me....thankful for some time to sit down.

Night All...

Day 20/30 TDOT

Latte Love

Only 10 more days to go...

Next week Thanksgiving Day, then on to Christmas...I wish for days past when the kids were younger & at home, because that meant there was an actual break or holiday vacations.  Now it seems we try to find time for the holiday season.  So, my challenge is to find the thankfulness in the midst of everyday life with the holidays still happening, just in a different way.

The first reflection of thankfulness is the time that I will take to spend visiting with family and friends.  I WILL TAKE the time ;)

Then another thing to be thankful for is the crisp cold rainy weather that usually accompanies this season.  It is turning green, beautiful green with the dust and dirt rinsed off.

And thankful for the special coffees that makes my mouth smile.

Thankful for the memories of past and the ones being made.

And now I am thankful to be able to process, edit and play with some photographs.

See you tomorrow

Day 19 and TDOT continues

Follow Your Heart

I am thankful for a day off of business

I am thankful for a husband who took the time to research something of only my interest to go seek out

I am thankful for safe travels from & back home

I am thankful for a warm fire which warms not only the home, but the heart

I am thankful for ingredients on hand to make a very tasty dinner

And I am thankful that a bed is waiting for me...I am tired and full

Now I ask you...what are you thankful for today?

See you tomorrow

Day 18 TDOT

Sometimes You Just Have To Look Down the Road

I heard someone say..."What if the only thing you had today is what you were thankful for yesterday?".

That gives me something to stop and ponder on.

While I don't actually list everything I am thankful for, I realize that I overlook so much that I truly do appreciate and can give thanks.

I could start with the family I am ever so thankful for

Then the friends, near, dear, far and virtual

My cat....loveable (whether he allows it not)

Our home, my refuge

Our business

Our employees

Our health

and then I could go on and on....

Now to remember with a truly thankful heart...

And I will continue to post, because I committed to...though I sometimes think I am sending these off to the air....so like a feather...I release this one

Thirty Days of Thanksgiving

Morning Cup of Love

Thursday, November 17th 2011

Thankfulness continues....

For the cup of coffee waiting for me almost every morning...

For a business to continue to nurture after 37 years...

For faithful employees...

For a husband who gives consistently to keep us going...

For my Starbucks double soy cappuccino from the best barristas in town...

For living where I do...

For my family

That's it for today...I am very thankful and blessed

Day 16!!! of TDOT

Happy 8th Anniversary!

My words of thanks are to our daughter and son in law who joined the family 8 years ago today.

I am thankful for the addition of a fine young man who has enriched not only our daughter's life but ours.

I think that about sums up the day.
