On Tuesday, the texts and calls started flying between my Dad, brother, sister, and I. Mom had fallen and hurt her wrist. Spoiler alert: she will be OK, but did break her wrist.
1. I'm thankful for the ability to stay in touch.
2. I'm thankful for a relatively calm phase of life at the moment, which makes it easy to help when needed.
3. I'm thankful for my siblings, who although their commitments are more involved than mine right now, are always willing to come when needed.
4. I'm thankful for working vehicles. Yes, vehicles. Plural. The car that had been in the shop since December has finally really been fixed. We still drove the newer car to Oregon, but we had options.
5. I'm thankful for uneventful travel.
6. I'm thankful that our frequent vacations have made packing quick and easy, and we were able to throw together our bags without too much thought--and (as far as I know) we didn't forget anything important.
7. I'm thankful for my parents, who were happy to see us. My mom is a doctor's dream--the most compliant patient ever. She is definitely doing all she can to have a speedy recovery.
8. I'm thankful for our son and his girlfriend, who are always so cheerful and willing to hold down the fort (including feeding Drexel, our dog) while we're gone.
9. I'm thankful for our other children.
10. I'm thankful for John. We've had fun reminiscing this week. Happy 38th anniversary to us!
What are you thankful for this week? Leave a comment and, if you're so inclined, write your own blog post and link up!
That's a good list! @samanthabwriter from

Thank you! Feel free to join the hop!
DeleteI pray your mother does have a speedy and uneventful recovery and I wish you and your sweetheart many happy returns of your anniversary.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteOur best to your mom for a speedy recovery. (Tell her the crew at the Wakefield Doctrine are enjoying her exemplifying the better qualities of her predominant worldview. We might add, not merely being compliant, but simply not one to complain, however justified given the situation.)
DeleteHappy Anniversary to you and John. (I will resist the 'wow! how long?' lol)
Thanks, Clark. I'll pass along your comments to her. And thanks for the anniversary wishes. "Wow! How long?" is OK, as we ask ourselves the same thing! lol
