Ten Things of Thankful January 6, 2024

It’s TTOT time and WowWee and I grateful! Let’s get started!
- Today is my sweetheart’s birthday. I am thankful for him every single day.
- Today, I seem to be over this bug. Food is good, once again.
- Daughter was able to get help for her gait and now is free of her cane, unless we are on uneven terrain.
- We enjoyed a walk last weekend at the Arboretum. It was just the perfect temperature for a walk. It’s pretty there even with the plants taking their wintry slumber.
- I did not realize that there were so many books in one place that are about plants. The arboretum houses them and sells them.
- I enjoy getting together with other writers in person and was able to do that a week ago. I missed this yesterday due to the bug. No sense is giving it to others.
- I made some beneficial health choices and notice a nice difference in how I feel.
- I bought a pretty planner for 2024 and getting back into the discipline or writing plans on paper. I tried and do not care for digital planning, although I now do both. When we run out of pencils and paper, I will retire.
- I am laughing at my own statement for #8 because I don’t ever really see me fully retiring. I like where I am in this part of life. Let’s just savor that.
- YOU What’s your thankful this week? Please share in comments or join this blog and share your thoughts. Go check out what others have to say below.
