Good afternoon from a gorgeous day in Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. The high today was 71 F. It's currently 66 F and sunny with a light breeze. No clouds.
I have much to be thankful for today.
It's always good to have a plan to work with for the day. My plans for the day came with big changes. Pleasant ones.
I'm thankful for my neighbor. They love to go to Mission BBQ. I went with them the first time. It's a wonderful place to eat and honors military and first responders. I joined the birthday club last week and they sent me a coupon for joining to be used by this Wednesday for a free sandwich. They asked me if I wanted to use my coupon today. So out the door I went. I had a turkey sandwich with potato salad. Before we finished, they came around to everyone with a fresh from the oven peach cobbler, free. It was all delicious. I've also accounted for all the calories.
I'm thankful for a trip to Hy-Vee today after Mission BBQ. I usually go on Tuesday after Bible study, but now it won't be necessary. I got what I needed. My fridge is still looking a bit bare, but a lot better than it did. I also have bananas.
I'm thankful for a trip to a thrift store after Hy-Vee. I didn't know about their second location. I found two reasonably priced things, one you see in the above picture, a new door hanger. The other is a ceramic lighthouse. I normally take the lights out, but decided to put it back and see if I could find a plug for it. It has two lights, a red blinking light at the top of the lighthouse and a white one at the lower part of the light house which lights up the windows.
I'm thankful I have all my steps for the day. When I got home I found I still needed 1500 steps after all the walking in the stores, and walked the sidewalk of the complex.
I'm also thankful I worked on New Horizons - Predators and Terrorists. Not much more than a readthrough with minor editing. This is a finished novel.
I'm thankful I could spend time with you today. I finished the notifications twice. It's always nice to see how you are doing in your part of the world.
I'm thankful for the phone call this morning from my daughter. It was two of the best hours of my day. She even told me she's proud of me. It brought tears to my eyes when she said that.
Okay, that's my day, and yes, I played my games too. So, I think I checked off everything on my plans post. It will be an early night. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. My new doorhanger.

Thank you. I said something nice about myself. As long as she's known me, I never had anything good to say about myself. It's hard to see me as pretty or smart when I've been told all my growing up years that I'm ugly and stupid. I've learned to love myself and see myself as pretty and yes, smart too.
I hope there weren't any tornadoes.

That sounds like a very full day, but a good one too. That's all good to hear. That's great about the meal too!

It was a full day. I'm glad I went shopping yesterday. I didn't have the opportunity today.
Thank you. The meal was good.

@MommyOfEli2013 The person who normally takes me home after Bible study, takes me shopping before going home. She wasn't there today.

Beautiful doorhanger. I'm thankful that I don't have to pay a co-pay when I go to see about seeing a therapist. I will be going on Thursday. I'm also thankful that a piano company is going to come May 1st to see my uncle's baby grand piano. I'm hoping they will take it.

I am thankful for the nap I took this afternoon. I woke up and had what I call brain fog. I had a hard time doing normal things. I get this way when I haven't slept well, which I didn't last night. After my nap, which was about 45 minutes to an hour, I felt back to normal.
Sounds like you had a blessed day.

I am thankful that my husband is walking without support and I am slowly getting over my illness! How touching that your daughter is proud of you. That's wonderful. Have a good day.
