Welcome to the Thankful Thursday evening edition. Remember when newspapers used to have both morning and evening editions? And were actually paper? Delivered in the driveway?
Sometimes, I miss those days. However, I’m thankful for the Internet and the way I can use it to share all the great things from my week with all of you. And connect with other bloggers and readers.
The reason for the evening edition of my post is the weather. Today was sunny and in the mid-50’s. I was outside most of the day wearing my sweatshirt, no coat needed. One of the devotional verses this morning was Psalm 118:24, This is the day that the Lord hath made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. And that’s just what I did with some help from a certain bossy little gray cat.
And I opened the windows and aired out the entire house. As much as I love candles, diffusers, and the like there is no better scent in the world than fresh air. Especially, after many in the household were sick.
Remember my list goes from Friday to Thursday each week. So some of these are possibly from last week as well.
Here are the items for my Thankful Thursday
- Plenty of streaming choices on the TV
- A Kansas City Chiefs win over Denver!
- Financial aid and a scholarship helping with G’s college costs
- A few pleasant exchanges with the teenager
- On-line church
- Drive-thru windows
- On-line grocery shopping
- Keeping my sense of humor (though it’s only Monday as I type this one)
- Sunshine, warmer weather, and blue skies in January
- Watching out the back door as two Carolina wrens called to each other
And a few extras from today:
- A chance to open the windows and air out the house
- Managing to keep one pack of these Prosecco Bon Bons hidden for my Joe Millionaire viewing party tonight (I’m the only guest, lol). It’s not a giant jar like in the link, it’s just a bag I ordered from Universal Yums.
- Finding a few “forgotten” images on the bridge camera SD card
Cooper’s Hawk, not sure when I took this - A glimpse of a spectacular sunset out the back. Unfortunately, we are well suited for me to grab sunrise photos, not so much sunset pictures. The sky was filled with the most brilliant orange and red hues. Since I couldn’t get a decent photo of a sunset, here’s another from the forgotten SD card, a sunrise from a few weeks ago:
- Remembering to fill the gas tank on the car while the weather was still nice (snow predicted for the weekend)
What things are on your thankful Thursday evening list?
