Thankfulness and Gratitude


I am thankful for:

-my husband, who is supportive and knows just what to say to soothe me
-my daughter, who has lots to say about books, life and grand plans
-my son, always happy and not a care in the world
-my sister, my best friend
-for my family whom I love deeply
-for car rides, trips and outings far and near
-coffee in the morning, decaf green tea at night
-endless music that is played, hummed and imagined
-sweets (especially chocolate)
-the knitting, oh the knitting!
-the shiny brightness of a brand new morning
-books and stories and imaginations, losing myself in another place
-Frodo and our walks, his funny ways and his love of life
-childhood memories
-traditions- old and new
-my faith
-the kindness of others

  17. Good morning, Karen,

    My husband walked by when I was viewing your blog. He saw that gorgeous blanket you are working on and said, "Hmmm...someone is quilting" and then I explained to him about the blanket. He LOVED it. :) SO, my friend, if you are going to do a drawing to see who gets it when it is completed, it would be alright to put my hubby's name in the hat, too. :)

    I loved your list of things you are thankful for. I am sorry that I've not been around much to leave comments here, but now the family is safely tucked away back in Maine and our house is SO SO quiet I am finding all kinds of time! :-)

    How do you get your blanket not to PULL when you pick up stitches? That's always been my problem
