Hi again,
I have to admit it-I love remote controls. lol I know that may come across as being lazy but I prefer to think of it as being efficient. lol Just think about the time saved that you don't have to walk up to a device and change something vs having a remote beside you and you can change it instantly. lol Yes there are times the remote has legs and gets lost and then it wastes time searching but then we get exercise looking for the remote so it's all good. :) Another plus about remote controls is the MUTE button! Oh my goodness that comes in handy when those annoying commercials come on that I can't stand. Or when I used to watch American Idol and needed instant relief. :) For some odd reason there is never a mute button on the tv-only the remote. I have never been able to figure this one out. Anyways, I am thinking about this today because I didn't have a remote handy for my cd player and was reminded how thankful I am for remotes. :) Speaking of cd players-if you love somewhat jazzy music then you should check out Meaghan Smith! A friend of mine told me about her music and shared a music video and I love her music. Anyways today I am thankful for remote controls (even when they go missing lol).

Day 168: Light bulb moments
Hi again,
This post is for yesterday because I had a migraine and staring at the screen was pretty difficult so I thought it best to leave it till today.
So for this post I am thankful for light bulb moments-the moments where things all of a sudden make sense. I didn't have one but I am hoping for one. lol It can be so gratifying when you have these moments because of the problem you are facing has been difficult to figure out or make sense of. It is wonderful when you finally understand something that has been eluding you. I wish I understood everything and why everything happens but I don't. So the next best thing I guess is light bulb moments when the light turns on so to speak in your head and you finally get it. lol So that is what I am thankful for today.

Day 167: podcasts
Hi again,
Today I am thankful for podcasts from Itunes which are quite nice. I subscribe to a few and you can learn all kinds of stuff through podcasts-even stuff that is not useful. lol I tend to stick to the useful informative podcasts though. lol One podcast I really enjoy is one from the Mosaic Church in Los Angeles where they film the sermans and I can see them all the way over here in Canada. The Pastors at the church are great speakers and have great messages so I enjoy being able to see them. I have even attempted to learn spanish through podcast despite it not working so well. lol

Day 166: The first ROBIN this year!!!!
Hi again,
Today I am so incredibly thankful for seeing the first robin this year!!!! This morning I was outside for a walk and I spotted the robin hopping along in the snow and I could not believe my eyes!! If this isn't a sign of spring coming then I don't know what is! It is so incredibly wonderful hearing the robin singing again! It has been too long since I have heard that sweet song. I have to admit I am longing for more variety than the chickadees, magpies and crows all the time. lol Seeing the robin this morning gave me more hope that spring could come again! lol I did grab my camera and got a photo of the robin even though it wasn't very close. I will be sure to post it either tonight or tomorrow hopefully. I do feel bad for the poor robin though-it must be confused why there is still so much snow on the ground.
On a not so exciting note-flies are starting to appear as well as spiders. Ewww the creepy crawlies are thawing out...er.. coming out of hiding. lol I actually killed two spiders already. But it means spring and I love signs of spring. The creepy crawlies are food for the birds so I must be thankful for them as well I guess. *sigh* lol As you can possibly tell, seeing the robin today was really exciting!!! I do love the sound of birds and winter can be so silent while they are gone. But they are starting to come back and I am very thankful for that and super excited!

Day 164: April Fool's Day
Hi again,
Today is April Fool's day and I am thankful for it because I love to read about the pranks that people attempt to pull and have a laugh. Now that we have twitter, it is fun to read the tweets meant to fool people as well. One that I did read that was obviously a prank but so funny is that youtube.com is celebrating 100yrs and to click to see the top 5 videos from 1911. I just about fell over laughing on that one. LOL Just in case people are wondering, Youtube was created in 2005 which is not quite 100yrs ago or even 10yrs ago. lol I am wondering if anyone actually fell for that one? If you are half asleep you may not realize it is a joke? I don't know. Anyways that is the best one I saw today. So that is why I am thankful for April Fool's Day. :)
