Today was a good day. The sun shone all day, the breeze was gentle, and the temps were warm in the 70s. It's 74 F right now. It did get to 75 F briefly. I'm thankful for the ability to walk. It took about an hour this morning before the stiffness was gone and I could move about without thinking about my walker sitting in my bedroom. I'm thankful I have it for those days when walking is difficult. It's hard getting old. I'm thankful for the breath of life. It's so good to be alive and to enjoy everything God has for me. I'm thankful for the Internet that brought me to this site and to you. Getting to know you through the short blogs brings us all closer. I'm thankful for the Bible study this morning. I'm the new woman on the block and I finally feel totally accepted by the group of wonderful women. I'm thankful for food. After Bible study this morning, I went shopping for bananas. I got a couple of other items too that I'm out of. Nothing major. I then went to the service desk to find out why my store card doesn't show registered when they scan it. It's taken care of now. I registered it when I got it, but they never recognize me when I give it to them. Now, they will. I'm thankful for the work I did on Where Eagles Soar. The book just continues to get better with each page. I'm still hoping to have it published this month. I'm thankful for getting the notifications caught up. I'll get the new batch caught up too when I post this. I'm thankful for longer daylight hours. I know it means it's spring and winter is now gone, but I do like long daylight hours. Okay, that's why I'm thankful. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. This is on the table in the hallway. I think she's adorable.

Getting older we have some minor problems showing up every new day, but getting up and breathing the air is already a good thing.

@just4him I agree, I always open the door and check the temperature outside in the morning.

It's not mine. It's in the hallway I walk every day. I'm glad you like it and the rabbit. I'm glad you're thankful.

I'm thankful for the good day and weather. We cemented our plans for the next two weeks. Hoping Chilly behaves himself.

Thankful for my comfy chair this evening. I might have trouble moving tomorrow morning after doing the yard work

I love the longer days too. It was eight o’clock when the sun set today.

Getting old is no fun at all but it is a journey we all must take unless we die young. I am thankful that all went reasonably well today.

No, it isn't fun, but I agree. It is a journey. I'm glad everything went well yesterday.

I am thankful that doctors treated me from the allergic reaction, though up until now 25 hours later I still feel drowsy after the 3 injections. Is it normal?

If it makes you drowsy, it would say so on the medication. Or ask your doctor.
