YES! Today is November 1st.
In my mind, the rest of the year is a holiday, a celebration – preparing for Thanksgiving; Thanksgiving; preparing for Christmas; Christmas; then a New Year. This year in preparation for Thanksgiving I am wanting to post something I am thankful for each day leading up to Thanksgiving, by publicaly giving thanks.
Too often I forget to say what I am thankful for out loud.
I love this season. Slowing down. Warm & cozy is the norm. LOTS of creating. We pretty much make all Christmas gifts, and this is when we start. Thanksgiving and Christmas are seasons of giving and sharing.
Today I am giving thanks for: Less Wind. Electricity. Water.
Less Wind: Today is less windy than yesterday. I have been able to be online and catch up on the computer. {but as soon as I post I’m going back to sewing. almost done with CJs blanket}
Electricity: Yesterday it flickered a lot. Yet today we have it. So many on the East Coast are still working without it. It is a simple joy I tend to take for granted sometimes. Even with no internet I can still sew, when I have electricity.
Water: Often the wind causes electricity to go out, which then means limited water. I am thankful to have clean water to drink and use freely. So many don’t.
