#ThankfulActs, Day 3: Super Thanks for a Super Person

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that my husband, John, is my best friend.  He really is a super person, and today happens to be his birthday.  My #ThankfulActs challenge today is to give a silly, yet sincere, "super" gift for a super person.
The concept can be as simple or complex as you wish.  I just went to the 99¢ Store and looked for products with "Super" on the label. I bought whatever seemed appropriate (Super Colon Cleanse did not make the cut!) I ended up with Super Glue, paper towels, mechanical pencil lead, pens, Post-its, batteries, adhesive hooks, and bug repellent. Though those are not the most traditional of birthday gifts, they are useful and fit the "Super" theme.  I also threw in a pair of Superman socks (from JCPenney).  I put everything in a bag and attached a note thanking John for being such a super guy.

You don't even need to do more than one item; you could give Super Glue to someone, with the label, "You've stuck with me through thick and thin.  Thanks for being a super friend!" Have fun with this challenge, and let me know how it goes!

 (I've been out of town for the past few days, so please forgive my tardiness in responding to your comments.  I appreciate each of them, and will be incorporating some of your ideas into future challenges.  Thanks!)

    Please tell John Happy Birthday from me, too. As for the challenge today, I have to think about this one.

Ten Things of Thankful: Last Two Weeks

  Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, as viewed from an overlook I apologize for not commenting on your blog posts this past week; John and I took a vacation to Yellowstone National Park, leaving behind our computers and, to a large extent, cell phone service. We escaped the outside world and just spent time in nature. Though we have friends near Yellowstone (who we love to visit) we made this trip just about us, so please forgive us if we were nearby and didn't stop by. The crowds were minimal (though we did mask up whenever we passed someone on the trails) and we spent our days hiking, taking photos, and watching geysers erupt. Today, we are back home and back to work, and, in the case of my computer, back to old shenanigans like not letting me import my photos. (I was able to add the above photo by using blogger on my phone, but that isn't my preferred method.) I want to write about Yellowstone and have photos I want to share, but will leave that for another

Ten Things of Thankful: Even in Times of Uncertainty

  A railroad switch point on the tracks at the Golden Spike National Historic Park There is a lot I don't know. I don't know who will lead the United States for the next four years (at the time I'm composing this post, that hasn't been determined yet.) I don't know when covid cases will stop rising in my state and start decreasing. I don't know how challenging situations will turn out. There is much uncertainty in life. Living in limbo-land is hard. It's emotionally exhausting. It can be immobilizing. My body seems to think chocolate is the answer, but I know that isn't a long-term solution. What do I need in times like these? I need to REMEMBER . 1. R esilience. People are resilient. I am resilient. I'm thankful for resilience. 2. " E ach Life That Touches Ours for Good." So many people, both those I know in "real life," and those I have only met virtually, have taught me, encouraged me, and been examples to me. I'm thankful
