  1. Hey Kristi. What a great gratitude list! And perfect timing too. I wrote a post about becoming a thankful family yesterday. I included ten things I'm thankful for at the bottom of the post and challenged readers to join in by adding their list to the comments.

    From the looks of this site, you already know the incredible power of gratitude. I think my post is longer than what you intended, but my gratitude list is there :) And, I'm going to keep this page open, because I'd love to check back and see what others are grateful for.

    Thank you for the awesome opportunity to connect, share, and express gratitude in a public way!

    1. Welcome to the Ten Things of Thankful community! I agree with your "perfect timing" statement; your post was exactly what I needed to read this morning.

      One thing about this blog hop is that our rules are rather lax. Whether brief or lengthy, all gratitude posts are welcome. I loved how your post explained the benefits of being thankful, how you incorporate gratitude into your own family, and concluded with your own TToT list.

      Again, welcome!

  3. I love your simple list this week. Being able to see a beautiful sunset at the end of your day is a great way to top off your day and help settle one's mind.

  4. I'm honored to be part of #3, #8, and #9 in your life! Great list, Kristi! Short and sweet and to the point!

  5. Brevity is the soul of wit*

    I totally identify with all (with the possible exception of #3 although, I've been known to note frozen water on my own lists as a hypograt, which, as we know, is allowed by the BoSR)
    Nice list. Resonates which is a good thing in this gratitude business.

    * your TToT this week is an irresistible set up for rolling out some Wm.

    1. Hey, I'm flattered that my simple words inspired a Shakespeare quote.
      The snow was short-lived, and this week promises temps near 70. I'm not complaining. :-)

Ten Things of Thankful: Autumn Edition

It's autumn time, one of my favorite times of year.  I just couldn't leave this weekend as a one-post weekend.  

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

Monday Mentions: Equate Crutches

Have you ever needed crutches? I hadn't, until a week ago.  I'm pretty sure I strained a muscle while running a half-marathon.  (That sounds kind of cool, doesn't it? I'm not actually that cool; the last time I strained a muscle it was from carrying too many shopping bags at once.) In any case, I found myself in need of some crutches. I sent my husband to the store to get some. Photo: A pair of crutches leans against a wall  Not that crutches are all that complex, but because I hadn't used any before, I wondered if I could figure out how to adjust them to fit me properly. I shouldn't have worried. John came home from Walmart with their generic store brand of crutches, complete with instructions. First, I needed to take out a long bolt that went through the hand grip. Then I needed to find my height range, push down two metal pieces, and slide the crutches until the little metal pieces came up in the hole near my height range. (Having two people for this
