Hello again,
Today I am thankful for comfort. Do I need to even give a reason? lol I am thankful for comfort when I am sitting in an incredibly comfy chair that I don't want to move or get up. I am thankful for comfort when I first wake up in the morning and I am all comfortable wrapped in my warm blankets. I am thankful for it when there is a lack of pain and I am left feeling comfortable. I am thankful for emotional comfort too....when someone comforts me after something bad has happened. Comfort is a great feeling but I also know that I wouldn't know how wonderful it is without experiencing the opposite. The opposite would be pain and it is not good at all but it helps me to understand how desirable comfort is. It helps me be so thankful for those moments when I feel so comfortable. I am thankful for comfort because in all these moments I feel good and I don't notice any pain. I am thankful because during these moments life doesn't feel so bad. For these reasons I am thankful for comfort.

Day 277: Respect
Hello again,
This post is for yesterday because I was unable to post. For this post I am thankful for respect. Too often people lack respect for others or other people's stuff so when I come across people who have respect for others, I am very thankful for them. I am able to recognize how special it is and it is special and wonderful to be respected. I don't think this needs a long post. I will keep it short and sweet. We all know the reasons why it is great to be shown respect and how hard it is to be treated badly and not respected. So for this post I am thankful for respect.

Day 276: my computer
Hello again,
Today I am thankful for my computer. My computer recently has begun to die a slow horrible death and it has good and bad days. lol So I suppose it is a good time to be thankful for it and the past 5-6 yrs I have had it. There have been numerous times I have wanted to throw it out a window because it does not want to co-operate but every computer is like that-it is nothing personal. Lately I have a unique perspective I think on the usefullness of a desktop computer. I have had a few times that I have had to use my phone to access the internet or type an email and realized how much I love having a desktop computer. I love the full keyboard and the large monitor (compared to a phone screen). Smaller is not always better! Even between a lap top and a desktop-I think the desktop still has good qualities that a laptop doesn't. In other ways, I have used this computer for so many things like editing photos that I take, emailing, working on documents, doing paperwork for my mom, etc. So many things that would be difficult or next to impossible without a computer. I am not sure how long it will hold out but I hope it holds out awhile longer. During my initial recovery after each back surgery, my computer was essentially my only link to the world around me. I could not get out of the house and it was the only thing linking me to everyone else. So I am definitely thankful for the computer. I have used it lots and it's funny how outdated a computer can get in 5yrs. lol For these reasons, I am thankful for my computer.

Day 275: broken dvds
Hello again
This post is for yesterday because I was unable to post. For this post I am thankful for broken dvds and cds because they are useful still after they are broken. I discovered they are apparently useful in scaring birds away from fruit trees! See I knew I had a reason to hold on to them. lol I am not sure yet if it works but I am really hoping it does. The birds are stealing our berries and I am wishing they would not. There is plenty of other food that they can eat so I don't think I am being unfair right? Anyways I think it is neat that something can have a second life beyond what it was intended for. I am also thankful that dvds and cds are shiny and keep birds away.... hopefully. :)

Day 274: my imagination
Hello again,
Today I am thankful for my imagination. I have a good imagination and it really came in handy so often as a kid. Imagination turns an ordinary cardboard box into an unlimited number of things. It helps me to imagine what an author is depicting in a book very clearly, it helps me to imagine things not yet created and it helps me be creative. It can be a problem for me though when I imagine different possibilities as to why a person is late or hasn't called or it can cause me to have really awful nightmares. It can also cause me to have wonderful vivid dreams and while I am awake I can close my eyes and daydream. Without an imagination, I don't think anything could be invented because people would not imagine the impossible and find ways to create it. The imagination is a very wonderful tool for young minds while playing, for inventors and artists who create and for people who love to read books. It helps possibilities become endless as well because we are able to see those possibilities. For all these reasons I am quite thankful for my imagination which is very strong. Thanks for reading my blog!

Day 273: A day with no rain!!!!
Hello again,
Today I am thankful for a day without rain!!! In all of July this is one of only 8 days (I think) it hasn't rained. I may have missed marking down rain for a couple of the days so it could actually only be 5-6 days with no rain. Of course it is only July 24 but still it has rained most of July. That is actually an improvement from June I think. Even more days in June had rain if I remember correctly. We are pretty soggy here and it was so nice to see the sunshine back and not see rain for an whole day!!! Though I do have to say it rained early this morning so technically not a complete day with no rain but it rained while it was still dark so I am not counting that. lol It was so nice to not have rain. Tomorrow is back to chance of rain but we were able to enjoy today. It was hot too! It got above 20!! Stuff didn't dry out completely but the puddles decreased a fair bit and the grass isn't under water for the most part!!! the lakes in the pasture are still there but I am not sure those will leave any time soon. Maybe the water will still be in the pasture in the winter and I will have a ready made skating rink!! lol Just trying to be positive here. Anyways I am thankful for the days without rain but I am thankful we have rain too. I wish we didn't have so much but we could also have none which would be bad.

Day 272: Change
Hello again
Today I am first thankful for catching up on my blog!! lol I am also thankful for change. I am someone who likes change-actually I crave change. I get bored with the same old stuff and I need change. I have found that lately some of the big life changes are not so exciting anymore but I can still handle them and adapt. But I love change. I don't like routine so much. Change is exciting and new and a learning experience. Like when you change to a new job it is different and exciting and definitely a learning experience. I remember as a child I would move my furniture in my room around every few months. I would get bored with how things were and change them. Change also offers a new perspective on things and that can often be a very good thing. Sometimes it isn't easy when it is a major life change but if it is good then there will be benefits that we wouldn't experience otherwise. This is why I am thankful for change.
