Thankful Thursday May 14, 2020



right now some folks might disagree,
but I try to look on the bright side, 
count my blessings and try not to
complain too much or too often.
I hope all of you are doing well and 
taking care of yourself and your loved ones.
We are not able to see our grown children
except via the internet and talking on the phone.
But, we know they are well, healthy and as 
patient as they can be while working from home! 
So I am thankful knowing they are doing
well as are other members of our large
extended family. 
And I hope you are as well. Cheers! 
And thanks to Brian for Thankful Thursday!

  1. We are approaching this the same way. I refuse to look at the negative. I quit watching the news and I've never felt better.

    I'm thankful for you, Russell and Miss Lucy.

    Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday. Big hug to you both and lots of scritches to Miss Lucy. ♥♥♥

  7. Oh I love cherries! Did you ever read the book If Life is a Bowl of Cherries What Am I Doing in the Pits? By Erma Bombeck. It was a sweet little book and she had such a way with humor. We all need humor and I like that you try not to complain. It is a good thing too. Have a wonderful weekend. HUGS

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
