Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for
Epicurus
Too often we get in the habit of wanting more and more. I try to just be thankful for what I have. When we think about what we have to be thankful for it makes us forget about wanting more things.
This week I've got a long list of things to be THANKFUL for as usual. The dear Lord sure does send many blessings my way and for that I'm truly THANKFUL.
For family, friends, my home, my car and safe travels
For my health and that of my family
For the cooler temps we have enjoyed for a few days this week
For my patio and my rocker, where I spend many restful moments
For the blessing of summer days and the memories of them that will linger and carry me through the cold days of winter
For the good wishes and prayers of family and friends that help in times of need
For the internet and the blessings of pictures sent that brighten my day like rays of sunshine
For good teachers and schools
For good doctors and medical facilities
I am so very thankful
I hope your Thursday is one you can be THANKFUL for too!

What a great list to be Thankful for!
I'm sure you are enjoying many a day and time on your rocker and porch since you retired Ma :) I bet it is very peaceful out there and does give you a good time to sit and ponder life :)
glad it cooled down your way too :)

Good entry, we try to go through life being thankful.
God is good, but sometimes we forget and take up worrying over things we have no control over.
But I am thankful for health and the cool weather.
