Three Things...Gratitude Thread

I am grateful that health and wholeness are returning for DH and me. He had an extensive shoulder injury in March which culminated 7 weeks ago with surgery. We are both healing well, and DH is actually ahead of the schedule.

I am grateful that DD, her husband, and his 7yo live with us. Yes, it's challenging to give up the privacy of our home but living together gives them the space and stability they need and the opportunity to build up their savings. It gives DH and me the extra support we've needed this year and I love having DD here all the time. I never expected to be "here" at this point in my life, but I am glad we are.

Everything else, the good, the bad, the ugly. I'm thankful that I've learned to take life as it comes, roll with the punches, dig down deep when it gets hard, and celebrate boisterously and thankfully. Of course I didn't get here on my own... I have family, friends, coworkers, and acquaintances to thank for the support, guidance, and friendship that have helped get me here.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
 
Happy Thanksgiving Friends! 🧡 :wave:

Quickie Answers….I gotta get myself going.

#1 - I’m grateful we have another holiday with both sets of parents

#2 - I’m grateful my head cold is gone and no one else got it

#3 - I’m grateful for our house - it’s not big, it’s not fancy, rooms are outdated, but I don’t care - I love it the same as I did the day I walked into it 20 years ago,
 

Good Morning! :wave:

I hope everyone had a nice day yesterday.

#1 - I’m grateful for the frozen pizzas we’re having for dinner tonight - I love pizza night the day after Thanksgiving - no cooking after all the cooking yesterday and after all the decorating today.

#2 - I’m grateful for you my Christmas wreaths - they’ll be hanging up in a few hours

#3 - I’m grateful for bowls - I’m going to put my cereal in one in about 5 minutes - LOL! Can’t have cereal & milk without a bowl.

Round things:

My favorite “gift” yesterday was a text from a Coast Guard Recruit whom we had as a guest last year. “Happy Thanksgiving!! You hosted me last thanksgiving and I am so thankful for your family. I hope you all have a wonderful day! 😄

I’m going with Pizza today…I think that’s going to be dinner!
I’m grateful that I can still make apple pies for my family. My family always fusses over them, I am so happy for their help and their thankfulness!
Most planters have round openings, and Indoor plants have been a hobby of mine for almost all my life!
 
Just doing the general three thanks:

1. We had a wonderful time at my brother's for Thanksgiving. There can be some tension there but it was beautiful day and I could just breathe. I'm grateful. I think we are building slowly back toward a better relationship.

2. My husband....he is a gem. A kind and caring person without being a pushover. I am very lucky he married me.

3. My work family actually....we all work together and support each other and make sure if someone needs time off that the void is filled without complaint. We really work as a team. It's super important since we work for a very small family owned company.
