Counting my Blessings

What a lovely sentiment ,Donna,thankyou for this one ....

Maurice has gone off to work ,to start the second of three nights ,so here I am listening to the purr of my new washing machine , and posting my entry ...while Maurice was sleeping this morning ,I did a whole load of ironing ,so now I have the new machine,I am getting caught up .I finished knitting the gilet I was knitting,in the summer ,I had to put it to one side ,it was fluffy wool ,during the hot weather was sticking to my hands .Ally asked me for a picture once it was finished so now finally here it is , The boots ,Ainsley ,she of the shoe fetish, asked for a picture of them ,so here you are dear....

Now, back to Donna's graphic,see what it says......Give thanks for the simple things ! How often do we take time out to do that ? its so easy to say ,what it is we want ! but what about what we have ,Since Maurice works long and odd hours ,I say thankyou for the ability ,to not mind my own company,I enjoy my hobbies knitting ,sewing reading,and the time I spend on my computer and some TV programmes,so I give thanks ,After working for fifty years ,and bringing up a family,I give thanks  on a cold wintery November Monday  morning ,I can turn over and snuggle down for another hour !I am not young anymore ,but I dont feel old,with the aid of my specs I can see ,I can hear very well ,so be careful what you say ,when you think I cant hear you lol ,If I drink any thing hot or cold (since I had my teeth cleaned last Monday) I get a pain in a back tooth reminding me I still have teeth !I have a sense of humour letting me see the funny side of things that would otherwise be annoying .So yes Thankyou for many of the simple things ,and for being able to recognise them .

As well as simple things I will  also give thanks too for special things .I am blest to have a fantastic partner,and a  wonderful supportive family ,andlast but certainly not least friends I have lots of friends and since September 1st 2005 ,on the day I pressed save ..I now have so many more super special friends ...So yes today ...Thankyou !

 With love Jan xx              PS .no closing graphic siggy today, file manager wont let me in ,but I am giving thanks I havent lost the entry whilst trying !!
