A few years ago, I participated in Carole’s Thankful Thursday posts. Since I have so much to be thankful for, I thought I’d do it again this year.
This week, I’m feeling particularly thankful for:
1. Electricity. After last year’s storm, Sandy had me pretty anxious. I’m grateful for lights, flushing toilets, hot food, hot showers. My heart goes out to those without power.
2. Local food. I cooked the last of my CSA root veggies earlier in the week. I was sad about having to return to the grocery store for veggies, but I am stocked up on local butternut squash and garlic–staples in Chez Golightly–and a neighbor has been sharing his fall turnip crop with me.
3. Neal. His calm and determination are good influences on me. I’m thankful to have a partner who is also my rock. And my own personal stand up comic!
I hope you have loads to be thankful for today, too.
Excellent! I’m grateful for our local vegetables, too, and I still have several winter squashes (including a HUGE hubbard squash) and some sweet potatoes.
