7th Day of Thanksgiving

Today I am thankful that it's Friday and I'll be having a fairly quiet weekend at home....it's been a stressful week at home and at work.

Boyd has been having some eye problems and we found out this week that he has a cataract on his left eye and will need to have it removed. As a result they will surgically insert a lens in his eye which will give him 20/20 vision. Woo hoo!

6th day of Thanksgiving

Today I am grateful for my friends both in real life and the friendships I've built online - both with the women I've meet and those I only 'know' through pictures and comments on message boards.

5th Day of Thanksgiving

Today I am thankful that my husband fixes me dinner at least once a week. Of course it usually involves going out and picking something up from a restaurant. At least it's one day I don't need to cook. :D

4th Day of Thanksgiving

Today I am grateful for the right to vote.

My friend Martha summed up my thoughts perfectly...I voted

3rd Day of Thanksgiving

Today I am thankful for the nice warm weather. Over 70 degrees in Iowa in November is pretty rare. I just wish that I had some vacation time so that I could sit in the sun and enjoy a relaxing afternoon.

2nd day of Thanksgiving

Today I am grateful for a quiet Sunday at home with my husband and my dog. As we were unwinding after dinner I told him that it felt like 3 different days rolled into one. I love days like this!

27 days of Gratitude - 1st Day of Thanksgiving

I found this on Jeanette Lynton's blog (the founder of Close to My Heart)

"The words gratitude and grateful are some of my favorite words in the whole world. I love them so much I use them many times throughout my day! The reason I love them is because they describe who I am. I am grateful! And November is the perfect month for counting my blessings! So this month, I’d like to share with you “27 Days of Gratitude.” To count down the days to one of my favorite holidays—Thanksgiving!—I’m going to blog about something that I’m thankful for every day."

And I decided to participate, plus they say if you do something for 27 days it becomes a habit.

Today I am grateful for my mom. That she is still relatively healthy, living in her own home and driving.
