Thankful this Thursday for so many things....how can I choose just one?! Let's see, kind words about my children from wonderful people, exceptional coworkers, dogs who like to snuggle, and a life that I enjoy.
Can I say that I am thankful for a home, that is safe and dry?! In the wake of the Hurricane Harvey tragedy, I know that I am fortunate. I have friends in Houston and they are safe...and dry. Thankful, I am!!

DeleteHello, we are blessed to have a dry home and we are safe. My prayers go out to Texas! It is always great to hear kind words about your children. Thanks for hosting. Happy Thursday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteEileen, thanks for your kind comments. I hope you have a wonderful Friday.
DeleteThankful for so many things Michelle, thankful to live in a country where there are no extremes in political views whichever party is in power, they both have the Australian people's welfare in mind.
ReplyDeleteWe are experiencing the, "great divide", here in the U.S., unfortunately. Both sides of our political forum need to come together.
Deleteof course you can say that! we should all be thankful for that! i'm glad your friends are safe!
ReplyDeleteMy oldest child's birthday. She turned 45 today and it is hard to believe how quickly it went by.
ReplyDeleteDonna, my oldest is 20 and I cannot even believe that. Time does go by so fast.
DeleteIndeed, many things to be thankful for - especially dry homes and safe streets. Our hearts are with those who are suffering from Hurricane Harvey. One great way to be thankful is to donate what we can to help those who need it most. Hope your weekend is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYes sometimes we need to be reminded that we have a lot to be thankful for.
ReplyDeletewe just sent out 2 semis loaded with water and cleaning supplies. Tough living in these conditions
ReplyDeleteMy small town is gathering supplies to send to shelters. I cannot imagine losing everything.
DeleteI'm glad life is good and you are safe and sound in your country home. I can say ditto. I also have Texas family that I've checked on and they are safe. We've donated twice now to Red Cross and may do so again. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteGave the thumbnail of the mirror to look back with thankfulness that a three month period of dogged determination has been successful and my 10 x 17 feet painting has finished - just the finishing touches!
ReplyDeleteYes and thankful for safe and confortable living!
Those are exceptional things to be grateful for. Lots of things happening around the world and one can only be thankful for being safe. Warm greetings to you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely reminder on being thankful...glad I found your blog.:)
ReplyDeleteThankful that I live way up here away from hurricanes (usually).
ReplyDeleteSo much to be thankful for when we see the plight of others...
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting!
Hmm, that's pretty green grass on the other side of the fence there Michelle. I'm thankful for no flooding here as well. I'm happy I found another pool to use while my fitness center is closed for cleaning and I'm thankful for the big juicy burger I'm about to flip over.
ReplyDeleteJeanna, a big, juicy burger sounds great right about now!!
DeleteI love peeking through the fence...what a neat photo! I'm thankful for good weather and good friends. (I'm having a little giveaway too!) Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for being able to sit here tonight and be safe and loved. And, I am especially thankful to live in a country where so many people reach out to help those in need as witnessed by what's been happening in Texas this week in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey.
ReplyDeleteThere is always something to be thankful for...every single day !
ReplyDeleteyes we are blessed to have dry home..
ReplyDeleteMy thankful, selfishly, would be Safe and Dry . . ,
ReplyDeleteSecondly . . . thankful the rains have eased . . . for now.
This week, I'm thankful for my cats waiting for me when I come back from work and cuddling with me when I can't find sleep...
ReplyDeleteI read this after reading your later post about the damage that Harvey inflicted on your house. I suspect that your message would still be the same . . . you have a happy life and a bit of (insured) water damage is not going to change that greatly.
