Is it me, or is time galloping along? It only feels like a couple
of days since I posted my #9 post, and here's Saturday rolled around once more!
I'm feeling a little guilty, actually, as I wasn't
well enough to contribute to many Blogs last week - but I did try to read as
many of them as I could, when I could and, once again, everyone amazed me with
the things they'd found to be thankful of.
I guess I've procrastinated long enough now so,
without ado, here are this week's 10 things of Thankful:
1.
I’m thankful for discovering an amazing Blog a few months ago. It’s
called 23 Thorns, and is written by an amazingly funny man who lives with his
wife and children in South
Africa. He not only writes some amazing
stuff about the local flora and fauna, but he can be hysterically funny while
doing so! I read his post of the 3rd October, and I laughed so much I nearly
wet myself! I haven’t laughed like that in soooooooo
long, so it was an amazing boost! Here’s the link – go on - read his post, you’ll have such a laugh! http://23thorns.com/

I’m
thankful for the amazing artistry of a friend who has decorated a special clock
I bought for my hubby for our Pearl Anniversary. She managed to add everything
that symbolises us, our love, and the things that mean a lot to us both. It’s
something I know we will both treasure for the rest of our lives J
3.
I’m
thankful that my girl is coming to stay for a few days from this weekend. I
haven’t seen her for what seems like an age, and I so want to see my amazing
daughter, and hug her for all the time I’ve been missing her J
4.
Following
on from that, I'm just so very thankful for the wonderful relationship I have
with my daughter. I never could talk to my mum in the way that Brex and I can
talk, and I thank God every day for my miracle child, and the fact that we are
firm friends, as well as mother and daughter.
5.
With
that, I'm also thankful for amazing friends. My best buddy, Mirjam, moved back
to Holland to
be near her mum, who isn't well, and I’ve been missing her something terrible. Just
a few days ago, there was a knock at the door, and it was a local florist
holding a big bouquet of flowers from my dear friend, who sent them in plenty
of time for our 30th wedding anniversary. It made me miss her even more, but in
a nice way J
6. I’m
also very thankful for my spiritual brothers and sisters, who do their very best
to keep me spiritually alive and well. Being unable to go to my meetings really
hurts me at times, as I really miss that amazing feeling I always used to get
in our mutual worshipping of Jehovah God and Christ Jesus - but my spiritual
family have banded together to help me, and go out of their way to make sure
that I don’t miss out too much on that special meeting of minds, hearts and
spirit.
7.
I’m
thankful to Lovefilm, who have all the old series I used to love watching –
like Married with Children – and who give me an unlimited amount of viewing
time – I think I've watched more films, and old series, this year than at any
other time.
8.
I’m
thankful, once again, for the internet, as it not only keeps me close to family
and friends, but is the means for my entertainment, as above! Lol
9.
I’m
thankful for digital cameras. My hubby kept talking about the small river that runs through our little woodland (we get otters coming through here regularly),
which I've never been well enough to go look at, and he eventually realised
that he could take photos of it for me! Lol He did this today, even though it
poured down for most of the day! J
10. And, lastly, I'm really thankful for the amazing ladies all
over the world that I'm currently sharing a Granny Square swap with.
It will be so very nice to put all of those squares I’m getting together, and make the baby blanket that I
promised to a friend of my daughter who has just given birth to a
baby girl. She loves to travel, so
will appreciate that every square will have been lovingly made by
somebody from a different part of the world to us.
