Good evening from chilly Green Bay, Wisconsin. The computer shows 27 F. Our high for today. It's windy out there. The weatherman said it would gust to 35 mph today. It looks and sounds like it too. I have much to be thankful for today as usual. A day without blessings is a day without hope. I'm thankful for another good night's sleep. Two days in a row without a morning headache or a bloody nose is wonderful. I know it's because it's dry in here. I got the laundry done when I got up and ran the dishwasher. I'm thankful I got all my steps this morning while walking the hallways and when I got back to the apartment. I met the man who lost his wife. He's such a wonderful man, and a talker. Still, he's easy to listen to, and he needs an ear once in a while. He's going through a rough patch with the recent loss of his wife. I'm thankful I also got steps with the foot cycle while I watched a TV episode. I've noticed the more I work on the foot cycle, the easier it is to work on the bike during exercise class. I'm thankful I remembered to put out Missy this morning. I'm thankful I watched my friend's dog, Sammy, from down the hall. Though Sammy decided he had enough time away from his mama and started barking and whining. So, I called her as she requested I do if he got that way. I'm thankful she brought me bananas when she came to pick up Sammy. I told her to let me know when she was going to the store next, as I needed bananas. I've been out for two days. I'm thankful for the work I did on Wilderness Cry. Two more pages. Writing is slow, tedious work, but so much fun. I'm thankful for the two movies I watched today. I recommend them both. Which might surprise you for the first one. Both were on FreeVee. The first was Substitute. He was a soldier, and substituted for his girlfriend who was a high school teacher. Lots of violence and colorful language, but a very good story. The second was a true story called The Way Home. This one is a Christian movie starring Dean Caine. It's about a two-year-old son who goes missing. Very good! Okay, that's my day. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

Sounds like a great day there! Awesome! We had to run out to get dog food today. We went to neighboring town because hubby needed something from auto parts store and also Tractor Supply so that is where we got the dog food. Also, a quick stop for gasoline and Walmart so we have bread, milk and eggs for the next 2-3 days with the bitter cold setting in. Back to 20's at night for at least 2 nights. Grrr. Where is Spring?? Hurry up!!

Sounds like you had a awesome day, we haven't done a whole lot this week with the cabin so far we were more distracted with the trees being cut down this week, but now they are out of the way our work really begins with the cabin & getting all the tree limbs cut up that was left B-hind.

It's been a cool rainy day today. George went outside all of twice today and has been on the couch sense. I'm thankful he's doing well. He's determined to keep me on time. He complained if I was two minutes early for a feed. I'm thankful I got a lot of work done today. I'm killing it with posts and really getting closer to my goal. I'm thankful I've started using my focus modes. They've really helped with the distractions. I'm thankful I'm starting to get back to being able to work with background noise. Since George's been home, we tend to be watching a lot more t.v. I'm thankful for Chilly. He's a loving supportive cat, who doesn't care where he as as long as he can cuddle with either George or I. I'm thankful that I've been getting some decent sleep.

I never arrive to watch more than one movie in one day. I usually fell asleep as soon as the first movie ends.

@just4him When I feel too tired, I usually stop the movie and I continue to watch the day after.

I sometimes doze through one of the movies. I did it yesterday. But these two were really good and kept my attention.

I imagine it meant a lot to that man to get to talk to you about the loss of his wife. It was sweet of you to listen. Dean Cain is a really good man, so I always hope his work is successful. Today, I am thankful I got my apartment a little better put together.

Sammy has anxiety issues. His mama can't leave him for too long, and always needs someone to take care of him when she goes to church or Bible study.

I'm thankful after my few errands, I could come back and get out of my clothes and relax with a warm robe on. Thankful, my senior kitty is still going although slowed way down. Thankful for the jacket I got yesterday, the healthy food I have right now and can avoid the high carb junk, and my heater working for warmth.
