November Thankful Day 30

 I made it every day for 30 days.  Some items I found something new every day, some items I didn't.  But what I do know is that I shared a lot of wonderful memories.  I had a tough time choosing what to be thankful for on my last day.  Not that I didn't have anything, but it was a toss up between being thankful for times of trial because they make you stronger, or memories.  I decided I would choose.....

 30.  November 30- I am thankful for memories.  As we age our mind tend to forget.  I mean come on how many of us have walked from one room into the other to do something and totally forgot what we went to do?   As I wrote each one of these posts, looking for pictures, they each one triggered a memory of a time, place, sometimes a scent, or sound.....some brought tears for my/our loss, but many brought smiles.

28. November 28- I am thankful for my sense of humor
Come on you have to admit that you have to have a sense of humor when one of the neighbors erects a pirate ship on their pond.  Complete with crows nest, sales and jolly roger.

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.

  4. Good Morning,
    Contrats on making it through the entire month with thankful posts. I think you probably found it worthwhile? Oh boy, I can certainly say yes I walk from one room to another and then forget why. I had to really chuckle with the pirate ship in your neighbor's pond. Heehee - ahoy matey. I am participating in the virtual cookie exchange this year! Are you too? Last day of November means that tomorrow starts the countdown to the end of this year. ~smile~ Roseanne

  6. I read each and every one and share so many of these likes with you. So far away geographically but so similar in our lives. My hubby has yet to show me how to use the snow plow but I would love to learn.

  10. Memories are a funny thing. When you are in a group of friends or family, the atmosphere is usually happy when we start to share a memory or two. Everyone usually enters the conversation with their own. Sometimes when we are alone and remembering, we don't feel quite so alone. After a month of focusing on something to be thankful for, I'm pretty sure you will continue the process each day because it certainly have become a habit for me.
    xx, Carol
