What are you grateful for today?

1.) Today... Many our age are gone and don't have the chance to enjoy it.
2.) The hope for tomorrow... I excellent health, should be able to awake again and enjoy one more day on God's Green Earth.
3.) A beautiful and loving wife... and our kids/grandkids... who make waking each day a rewarding experience.
 
Finding five new books today and a huge book sale coming up on Thursday...did I mention I like to read a bit?

Leftover Taco Bell in the fridge that I am about to attack

Work this evening...but not on Thursday...very grateful...I need money for BOOKS, oh and groceries too I suppose...
 

1. Getting a discount New York Times online crosswords subscription including all the archives, $20/year, what a deal!
2. No snow yet which makes daily walks pleasurable even when cold and windy. No snow yet is a daily mantra for many Mainers.
3. Finding a new humidifier that's very quiet and easy to clean.
 
Transaide, they took me to the bank and I was able to complete a bunch of other errands in the same area. Halaluha!

I've moved into a senior complex of 55+ and Tomorrow, it's early voting compliments of the management providing van service for those who wish to use it to get to one of the voting places. :D

I'm happy today and most everyday so far that I made the one of my better decisions, in years, (even if some of my neighbors are too nosy/noisy for their own good and people tell me I have an accent. :rolleyes:), choosing to move to where I am at the moment.
 
The rain (and clouds, and cooler temp)
A local store carries my favorite brand of tea
Only 6 days til I get to see a bunch of little kids wearing big smiles and cute costumes
 
The Rain ~ The rain has finally came back after a long hot dry summer. The fire danger is all but over and you can almost hear the plants and ground give a sigh of relief as they soak up the water.

My dog Addy ~ When I was working, one of our maintenance yards was right next to the county dog pound. One morning when I was going out to my grader I spotted a black lab dog staring back at me through the fence. By the end of that week she was living at home with us.

Retirement ~ :)

1. Waking up and ready to get the day started.
2. Two little fur babies that follow me around and are ready to do whatever I want.
3. Being able to open the windows because it has finally cooled off after a long hot summer.
4. Anticipation for another day tomorrow if God's willing!
 
Just happy to wake-up and have the energy to get a few things accomplished! Saw my son for a brief few minutes (he has recently started a new job and kind of stressed). Thankful for my son and DIL and my grandchildren.
 
To see how well my 3 kids are doing with their lives. Oldest is Army retired, now a postman, my daughter, a retired nurse, is buying and selling houses, and my youngest has been in the NSA since getting out of school. He is stationed in Japan right now, but has been all over the world many times. Very proud of them all. That's what I'm grateful for.
