5 Things I’m Thankful For… (Contest)
Friday, January 17th, 2025

I’m off to the city today for a PET Scan. I’m hungry and grumpy. I could only eat protein—no carbs or sugar for the last 24 hours. That sounds easy enough, but dang, I’m craving a burger with a bun with French fries and a soda! In fact, the minute I’m out of the clinic after the scan, that’s where I’m going to insist my daughter take me!

Last night, I attended my local art guild’s meeting. We voted on a new board. I’m VP of programs! My dd and I went in with a long agenda that we whipped through quickly, including ideas for future programs. It’s something to keep me looking forward, so many things to do. I love being part of that community. My mother was one of the founding members of that group and a true artist. I think she’d be pleased.

Anyway, today, I have lots on my mind—the scan, writing projects I need to begin, fun things to do with the art guild. Too many hopeful future-looking things for me to accept any news from my scan that isn’t also hopeful and future-looking.

I made a quick list of 5 Things I’m Thankful For

👨‍👩‍👧 — My family, who love and take care of me

🏡 — A comfortable home

🗺️ — The many wonderful memories of the adventures I enjoyed while traveling abroad

🥘 — Good food!

⌛ — The time to enjoy all of the above—even if it’s only one year, although I’m hoping for more!

For a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card, tell me the five things you’re thankful for!

    My belief in God
    My sister.
    Having the foresight to pay off my mortgage and outstanding bills so when I was forced to retire, I’d have enough to live comfortably (for now).
    Having an active imagination to keep working on my books and favorite crafts.
    And, thankful I no longer have to brave the weather to deal with the commute to and from my old jobs.

    3. Being blessed in corporate America today to be able to work from home and the bi-weekly income it allows me to take care of said family.
