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.

Always inspired by your blog! Hugs and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning,
ReplyDeleteContrats 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
Love that pirate ship! lol
ReplyDeleteHooray for a whole month of thankfulness, and thanks for inspiring me to do it, too. I definitely am thankful for memories and photos that help prompt them. That pirate ship is a hoot!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI have loved reading your thankful posts. Memories are to be treasured for sure!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a great month with you, Colette. Thank goodness for memories. I think that was a great choice.
ReplyDeletebeing thankful is always a good choice. great to see what you are thankful for and sharing memories with you the whole month. hope it helps put a smile on your face.
ReplyDeleteMemories 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.
