November Thankful Day 19

Are you still trudging along with my thankful posts.  To tell you the truth I started doing this because I was struggling recently and I was given a task to write down 1 things I was thankful for every day.  It is supposed to help heal your negative mind set.  I will admit that I struggled to even think of one or two things.  But here I am on day 19 and I still have things that I am thankful for.

19.  November 19.  I am thankful for flowers.  I love to grow flowers, and my flowers make me smile.  I usually have a pretty green thumb.  Things grow for me, but here.....well just reference this post (Conan the Plant Destroyer) or (He's Back).  My apple trees actually had apples this year.  I got 2-3 to eat.  Until the boys discovered them, and they were gone.  When I see some plants now I just smile. 

These are lily of the valley.  I have been told they are invasive.  I dug up a bunch from the front of the house a couple of years ago and planted them back along the garage.  A year or so ago, Jeff came home with a 5 gallon bucket full of them and Hosta from work.  When I saw them blooming this year it made me smile.  My husband thought of me constantly and rescued these plants because he knew I loved them.

2.  November 2.    I am thankful for the fact my feet hit the floor every morning, whether I want to get out of bed or not.

1.  November 1.  I am thankful for every morning I wake up--too many people don't get to see the light of another day.  Thinks about it how would you act if you knew that today was your last day on Earth?  Today is a gift.  Tomorrow is not promised.
