Month of Thankfulness - Day 19

I'm one of those people if you have a glass door or window bare, I will peek inside as I'm walking by. I always wonder what the family is like. The life they live. I also notice yards. You can tell who spends a lot of time in their yard, and who does the bare minimum to keep the HOA away. One yard I noticed hasn't been kept up like it use to be. New owners have moved in. Our community has a Facebook page, and someone happened to mention the unkempt yard. I had just mentioned it to Fonzy a few days ago. The owner of the house, who is part of our community Facebook page spoke up. She is a young mother of 3 who just found out in September she has cancer. Leukemia. She's married and the family also foster dogs. When I read this, I felt so bad for judging. You never know what is going on in people's lives. Finding out she had cancer, their yard seemed so insignificant. She's fighting for her life. Who has time to worry about a yard! A lot of the neighbors reached out to her and her family to help out. Myself included. It felt good to see everyone reaching out to them, when at first we were so quick to judge. Now when I drive or walk by their house, I send up a prayer for her healing and for her family. I don't even notice the yard.

Today, I'm thankful for good health.

The last of the leaves are holding on. This little one seems to be holding on for dear life. Today, I'm thankful for pops of color on grey, dreary days.

Month of Thankfulness - Day 17

Today I'm thankful for blue skies on my walk with Titus this evening. Some days I don't feel like walking, but I always feel better when I do. And of course Titus always loves it.

Month of Thankfulness - Day 16

We won't be putting up a Christmas tree this year since we will be traveling to Texas. I'll miss not having the tree, but I'm thankful for Christmas lights on the fireplace! At least we will have a little festivity for the holidays!

Dang it - we already have one light out! Oh well,...still thankful!

It was frosty this morning as I got up to take Ezekiel to his second day of driving lessons! Today I'm thankful for God's beauty and a warm home and car!

Ezekiel has had a big weekend. His first date yesterday, which went well and today his first time driving! He's taken Drivers Ed and is now on the driving portion. One more year of high school!

Ezekiel is going out on his very first date tomorrow night. Dinner and a movie. I'm excited for him, but also nervous!! It's so hard letting go.
