Today turned out better than I expected. I'm thankful I got everything done this morning before I went to the exercise class. I'm thankful for the exercise class. I asked one of the gals to bring her exercise tape for today's class. It's a more intense workout and all sitting. It felt so good. I'm thankful for the nap I got this morning. I got about an hour. It felt good and I felt rejuvenated. I'm thankful for the call I got from my son. His girlfriend came over and we went shopping. I drove her car because she just came from an eye appointment, so her eyes were dilated. The local grocery store offered free items for Veterans with a $20 purchase. I didn't need any of what was on the list of items, but she could, so I was more than happy to help them out. I benefited because I helped someone else. It wasn't all about me. I'm thankful she stayed for a couple of hours and hung out until she could see well enough to drive. I'm thankful she came because on the way home we saw two deer on the side of the road. She took several pictures. The one above is the best of them. That's my day. Happy Veterans Day to all Veterans on the site. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me, taken by my son's girlfriend. Edit - The image is too big. I need to downsize it and repost the picture.

@just4him Even though Veterans Day is in the shadow of Memorial Day, it is important to remember the military persons who served our nation.

@just4him Thank you for the information since what I know of Veterans Day was the end of World War I.

@just4him San Diego is a beautiful city that I have visited a few times. My previous boyfriend was in the Italian navy. He has been in the navy during 6 years, they never had dangerous missions.

I needed to re-download the pictures as I sent them into cyberspace. They're now resized and on the current post.

Thank you for your service. Glad your son's girlfriend was able to go to the store with you and stayed with you for a while afterward. I'm thankful for not having to go anywhere today. After a busy week of errands, appointments, and church, it was nice to stay in.
