Yes!!! A million times this. My mother in law brought me a frozen meal today to bust out on a night when I didn't feel like cooking. It was very thoughtful of her. Sometimes someone else handling dinner is like getting a winning lottery ticket

I’m grateful to have a family friend who loves to clean and organize and likes to keep busy. She is helping me get the house ready to have Thanksgiving here and for my daughter’s visit home. I’m very grateful since it otherwise wouldn’t be possible in my current state.

Wow, that's such a great friend to have! I'm really pleased for you, Jennifer.

I'm grateful that there's a lot of really good people out there.

I am grateful for Christmas decorations. We started putting everything out and it is always fun to go through the items and share memories. I am also in love with the warm glow of the Christmas tree.

I’m grateful I was able to get 5 hours of sleep even if the quality was poor. Also very grateful that I have been blessed with such wonderful people in my life that will take time to listen when I’m struggling to figure things out

I'm grateful for this thread because just looking at the title brought a smile to my face! In fact, I'm still smiling now, so thank you! (I had been at my computer for hours on end, unable to sleep tonight, so the warmth of the genuine smile on my face makes me feel good!)

I'm grateful for the turkey basket I got from a church so I can make Thanksgiving dinner

I'm grateful to have slept a bit past my alarm. I had a rough sleepless night and those 2 hours have made a big difference.

Sunflower123 · Nov 25, 2019 at 02:13 PM

I’m grateful that I’m going to be talking with my daughter by phone later today.

Looking forward to a fantastic week!

I hope you are enjoying your time with your husband. I am with mine! We're laughing a lot, too.

Thanks so much! We are having a good week, but our dog is injured and in need of a surgery with an 8-12 week recovery time. She has to be crated while she heals. She's a member of the family, so this is all quite sad for us. We are laughing and smiling through it though.

How was the beach today? The pic from yesterday was amazing! Enjoy the special time with H. I know you value it.

fern46 · Nov 27, 2019 at 01:27 PM

I am grateful for my family and friends. They are all so special to me. I appreciate each of them.

I am also grateful to have just finished a project I was working on to decorate the tree in our foyer. I collect ornaments and have a few hundred. It took me a couple of days on and off to complete everything. Whew!

Lots of people in the Christmas spirit! Enjoy! When I get home from my vacation, I'll make the two remaining Christmas cookies for my blog, but our tree generally doesn't go up until a few days before Christmas. That's our tradition. A wreath on the door and maybe a poinsettia a little earlier. Actually, I do plan to make some of one of the cookies look like Christmas trees.

Our vacation is so relaxing! The weather is beautiful. I couldn't ask for more. Well, maybe it would be nice if the cawing crow vacated the premises.
