Hello again,
This post is for yesterday because I was unable to post. For this post I am thankful for the changing seasons. I have to admit that I do not initially like summer changing to fall-in fact I really hate it. I hate it because all my flowers freeze and die and the trees will lose their leaves and the thought of the beauty of summer fading is so sad. But then I see the colours of fall and I move from hating it to loving a new season with all it's glory. Fall is kind of neat in it's own way and while I hate saying good bye to summer, I also like saying hello to Fall. One season I continue to dislike is winter. I can't quite enjoy the cold. But I love that winter leads to spring and without winter, spring would not be nearly as beautiful. I suppose having change is nice and not just one long season where nothing really changes except a slight change in temperatures. I do enjoy the differences that each season offers... well almost every season. lol But Winter has the advantage of giving us all a break from weeding which I am grateful for. lol Oh plus the bugs are not around so I don't have to deal with spiders. hehe. Spring is when everything that has been asleep comes alive again and summer is when the long days provide lots of sunshine (usually) and fun. Fall is just magnificent with all the gorgeous colours. I love walking outside in the fall and just taking in the breathtaking view because it is so beautiful. Summer definitely has it's own beauty with all the flowers and I would love to keep that colour but then I would miss out on other stuff. It is also easier to take though when summer temperatures extend into September. :) I am loving the heat we are getting right now! Anyways this is why I love the changing seasons.

Day 317: Poetry
Hello again,
This post is for Tuesday because I have been unable to post. I actually didn't realize I was so far behind because I thought I posted on Tuesday which I did but I was posting for Monday. It got too late to catch up. I apologize. For this post I am thankful for Poetry. I am thankful for it because it is often so beautiful and rhythmic and I love listening to people reading it. I also love to read it as well. I suppose I should say I am thankful for good poetry because not all poetry is good. There is some really bad stuff out there. lol Poetry to me is an art form-a beautiful way to share thoughts and feelings that is more than just writing it down. I am thankful for it because it evokes emotion in me when I read good poetry. It leaves me feeling like I experienced something. I always find it so fascinating how grouping words together can become something so powerful and stir emotions so well. I have been told I write well (which may or may not be true) but I can write well and not be able to write poetry. Maybe I would be able to but I haven't had success with it yet. Poetry is more than just words that rhyme. Anyways I will leave it at this because I feel I am struggling to do it justice. I am thankful I have been able to experience good poetry.

Day 316: Labour Day long weekend
Hello again,
This post is for yesterday because I was unable to post. For this post I am thankful for the Labour Day long weekend. Long weekends are nice and with long weekends come long weekend sales. :) lol Also it is usually the last long weekend that it is possible for nice weather to go camping one last time if you are able. The next long weekend it is probably too cold to go camping unless we have some odd warm spell that we don't get snow for a long time. It is also a reminder that fall is coming and we should start planning stuff that needs to be done before it starts getting cool. The only downside to long weekends is that the week starts on Tuesday and I think it is Monday. lol But on the plus side you have a shorter work week. :) It is also a good day to give yourself a pat on the back for all the hard work you do (assuming you have worked hard I guess?). For these reasons I am thankful for the Labour Day long weekend.

Day 315: The Wii
Hello again,
Today I am thankful for the Wii. I don't go on it as much as I maybe should but I am thankful for the Wii fit because it helps me get moving on days I can't move around outside. It seems I only go on it during the fall and winter months and I have started on it again. lol I guess spring and summer it feels nice outside and I rather go outside for a walk or what ever I want to do. But it does give me an option when I don't feel like going outside due to the weather. It is rather fun as well. I got the Wii after my surgeries to have something to help me work on my balance and start moving around slowly to regain mobility. I got a bit carried away though sometimes and ended up hurting myself. So I found it is great as long as you are careful. I was surprised that you can actually get out of breath while using Wii Fit. There are different levels so you can be challenged what ever level you are at. There are lots of games you can buy for the wii but we haven't really bought many others for it. I have seen some neat games though to exercise your mind as well which would be neat. Maybe sometime in the future. Anyways for these reasons I am thankful for the Wii.

Day 314: My duvet
Hello again,
Today I am thankful for my duvet. This is not just any duvet but a duvet my mom made for me. We used to have sheep and we got a bunch of their wool made into batting and my mom made each of us a duvet with it. Wool duvets are absolutely amazing. I find they hold heat in well but you don't get too hot. I can use my duvet year round. The past few days I had to get it fixed because I got a rip in the fabric and I haven't had it and realized just how much I love it and I am thankful for it. I have been using blankets and a comforter and it is crazy how much of my body heat escapes. With the duvet-I use it year round and I never have to add any blankets on top or take any off. I feel so thankful also because of how costly these types of duvets are to buy in a store and I didn't have to pay that kind of money for it. For these reasons I am thankful for my duvet.

Day 313: email
Hello again,
Today I am thankful for email. I love email because I find it much less intrusive than a phone call. People can answer emails when they are able. With phones, we often feel the need to answer it despite being in the middle of something. Or if you don't answer it, it is still an annoying interruption to what ever you are doing. Of course phones have their place and I am thankful for them as well but email does too. Email is also much cheaper than phones if you are many miles apart because phoning gets pricey with long distance charges. I find I am able to be much more clear by gathering my thoughts and writing them down and being able to delete something if I find that it isn't maybe what I want to say. When you talk on the phone, you say something and it is out of your mouth and you can not take it back. With email you can think about what to say before writing it and sending it. I find emails are good because I can go back to them if I forget a point someone made or if we make plans to meet and I forget the time, it is easy to go back and reread the details. Unless you have a way to record phone calls, it is very difficult to go back to a previous conversation. Also when emailing I can think about what someone says before responding and think about what I will say before responding because sometimes I don't feel I have time to think about what they said and I have to say something back right away. I love talking in person and in some cases prefer it but there are times where email is better. You can send emails at 2am if you want to but you can't call someone at 2am. Well unless you have a really wonderful understanding friend. lol There are many reasons I like email and I am thankful for it. thanks for reading my blog. :)

Day 312: the tv still works
Hello again,
Today I am thankful that the tv still works without the digital converter box and the digital antenna that we were told we needed to be able to watch tv after it switched to digital. Today the signal switched to digital apparently even though it doesn't really look any different. Maybe with the digital converter box it would be much clearer? I really don't know about that but I do know that it still works and I am thankful for that and happy about that. It isn't that we watch that much tv but we can avoid having to hook up extra stuff which no one really has time for. Yes even something that will only "take a few minutes" is a difficult task to complete sometimes. Plus we don't have to spend almost 150.00 that the Future Shop guy said we would have to spend to be able to get a signal after the switch. lol For these reasons I am thankful the tv still works. :)
