Giving Thanks, Day 12

  Today I am thankful for my church choir.  A few years ago the “low voice choir” formerly the Men’s Choir will be singing this:     I’ve had a long history with singing from the time I was a kid singing in the choir at my Dad’s church in Springfield, Mass.   In High …

Giving Thanks on Veterans Day

Giving thanks to our Veterans today I’m not sure how Veterans Day turned into a Monday holiday and a day to sell stuff, but then, most every holiday has turned into a day for stores to run “sales”.  Possibly, the original intent was to give our veterans a break but it has sure morphed away …

Giving Thanks, Day 10

  This is going to sound really stupid but today I am thankful for my dropbox.   I have files all over the place and I work on them on different computers (PC and Mac), at home or at work, on my iPhone, iPad and other places. If I’m away from home without any files (rarely happens!) …

Giving Thanks, Day 9

Yes, I know I skipped a couple days…I’ve been in a lot of (physical) pain and it’s been hard to come up with things to be thankful for, other than meds. Today, however, I am so thankful for knowing my dear friend Alice.  Today would have been her birthday.   Adapted from https://power-surge.co/2016/11/09/another-birthday/   Another birthday …

Giving Thanks, Day 8

Today I am hugely thankful that the last major issue we had here was in 2013 when Tom had his heart attack.  That event caused me to start a whole new blog to post about our experiences.     Adapted from https://maryomedical.com/category/other-medical/bees-knees/ It all started on our 40th wedding anniversary, when I fell on my knee …

Giving Thanks, Day 7

Today I’m thankful for Travel. We’ve been fortunate to be able to travel to several interesting places. Some, like Iceland, we just lucked in to. We’d wanted to go to Ireland but the travel agent couldn’t get us in at any time over that summer. She did get us a deal where, if we flew Iceland …

Giving Thanks, Day 6

From November 6,  2017: As it turns out, I didn’t give thanks yesterday when the Roto-Rooter guy left yesterday as he did absolutely nothing. 🙁 Our troubles weren’t going down the drain at all.     Today, I give thanks and shed a more than a few tears for a wonderful friend, co-worker, choir buddy, …

Giving Thanks, Day 5

  I was so thankful for Daylight Savings time this morning.  I had gotten to bed very late last night early this morning and had to be leaving the house at 7:30 am to ring handbells at church.   Hooray for that extra hour!

Giving Thanks, Day 4

  Today, I’m thankful for my “Cushie Car”. Since I started attending Cushing’s events, I’ve always tried to rent a PT Cruiser. There’s just been something about them that I liked. A couple years ago, after my son was out of school, I was getting tired of driving the Mom-Carpool-Van everywhere. I think my mom …

Giving Thanks, Day 3

I hope I’m not jinxing myself but today I am thankful that I haven’t had any migraines for a while.   It’s not “just” not having migraines, but the fact that, should I get one, there’s nothing I can do about them anymore.   I used to get migraines quite often, a hormone thing probably. …
