Thankful Thursday

Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone. - G. B. Sten

What an amazing week I have had!   I have so much to be thankful for that it is starting to get absurd.

The five winners are...

Dogs -  I love dogs. Happiness is a warm puppy.   I love to cuddle with them.  They do not get mad at me and they do not take up too much space when they are taking up all of the space.  They wag their tails so hard when they see me that I think their little bums might fall off.  But most of all, I can always find comfort in a dog.  Forever grateful for comfort.

Cats - I know this one is funny but it's quite humbling for me to be around a cat.  My fear of them is so powerful that I freeze if a tiny little kitten puts her paws on me.  Nothing like a cat to keep your feet on the ground.

Website with Quotes - Honestly, finding the quote for the beginning of my posts is always the most difficult part of T.T.

All of My Family Members - are healthy.  There is no greater reason to be thankful.  My own health is something to be thankful for but each and every one of my family members are doing relatively okay has me overwhelmed with gratitude.  As my arrival to Scranton grows closer each day, I cannot express how excited I am to be able to see everyone that I left behind.  I thank the stars above for this.

Dann's Mom and Dad - Thanks to their generosity and hospitality I was able to see Queen Elizabeth with my own eyes in real life.  She was so very close to me and she waved at me.  I can almost bet that the Queen of England hasn't waved at you in a while.    Not to mention that because his parents were kind enough to let me stay in their house, I was able to be in actual home and not this institution-like flat!   I was able to watch normal t.v. and sleep in a normal sized bed.  And just to live a normal life for two days (besides seeing Ms. Queen, that isn't really normal.)  Incredibly grateful for all they offered.  Besides that spider they were talking about.  :)     And of course, the fact that Dann is here because of them is something I should be grateful for and I am, most days!

What about you?
