Hello again,
Today I am thankful for campfires/bonfires. Not because I had one today though but just because I love them and I have wonderful memories from sitting around a campfire with friends or family. There is something so fun about sitting around a campfire and roasting hotdogs, or marshmallows/smores and spending time with family or friends. Sometimes campfires/bonfires happen while camping or other times it's just a big get together for the day. I had hoped to go camping this summer and held off on writing about campfires but summer is almost over and I won't be able to go camping this year. Sometimes it is fun to do in the fall or winter where we huddle together around the fire and stay toasty warm. Plus where there is a campfire/bonfire there is food! lol For these reasons I am thankful for campfires/bonfires

Day 296: Fairness
Hello again,
This post is for yesterday because once again I was unable to post. For this post I am thankful for fairness. In a world where so much seems unfair alot of the time (i.e people suffering, people hurting other people etc) it is a wonderful thing to see fairness even if it is for something small. When you see someone get repaid for a good deed when they were expecting nothing in return or people holding up to their end of a promise-it is so nice to see. When I purposely look for examples of fairness, there seems to be more than I thought there was. I sometimes wonder if unfairness is more likely to get the attention and a good example could be the news. When we watch the news, the top stories are all about unfair acts like someone taking someone else's life or other bad stuff like buildings burning down and people losing everything. Whether someone causes it or not-the first part of the news is often so sad and unfair. The good, fair stuff is after if it is included at all. Or maybe it is because there is more bad in the world than there is good. Either way, I am thankful for fairness and seeing it. Another example that comes to mind is when people are not greedy and treat everyone fairly and give everyone their fair share/ people don't cheat others for their own gain. Or when people get credit for something they did and no one else tries to take the credit unfairly. There are more examples for sure but I will stop here so I can try to keep this short(er). It is wonderful to see fairness. So for this post I am thankful for fairness.

Day 295: A day to take it easy
Hello again,
Today was one of those rainy days that you are able to spend inside getting stuff done or in my case, catching up on rest. I am thankful for days I can take it easy and catch up on much needed rest. I have been really pushing myself the last while trying to get stuff done and I have been utterly exhausted but unable to let myself rest. There is so much to be done and no way to rest more than I absolutely have to. The last couple days I have felt like I could fall asleep standing up. So today I woke up and saw it raining and was like "nice!". lol A day I can't get stuff done outside so I can spend some time getting some rest and reading the rest of a book I have been unable to finish and I was also able to just take a nap this afternoon. I really needed it. What was an added bonus was having the cat join me and lay beside me. :) It was wonderful not feeling guilty to take a day to get some rest. It is hard when you go to bed tired and wake up tired because you need way more than 8 hrs to catch up on sleep. Anyways I wish I could take a whole week of days like this but I would feel guilty. I can't do alot in a day but I fill it up as much as I can so I am helping out somewhat. I am so tired so off to bed I go! Have a great week!

Day 294: MiracleGro
Hello again,
This post is for yesterday because it got too late to post on here. For this post I am thankful for MiracleGro fertilizer. It really helps the plants-especially the Tomato plants. I get a special type that is specifically for Tomato plants and it really helps them grow better. We end up with better tomatoes and that is really something to be thankful for I think. MiracleGro sells a lot of different products and I really like the stuff I have tried and it makes a difference when I use it. That is why I am thankful for MiracleGro.

Day 293: a brand new day
Hello again,
This post is for yesterday because I was unable to post. For this post I am thankful for brand new days. Each and every day is brand new and generally without the mistakes of the previous day (or week etc). Each day has the possibility to be different and not continue down the same wrong paths. We can start fresh and let go of the past. It is a lot easier said than done I know but each new day holds that promise. I love that even physically each day is a new day and just because I was in terrible pain the day before, it doesn't mean I will continue to be in that much pain the next day. Sometimes a good sleep is enough to help headaches or other aches and pains. We don't have to enter into a new day with the baggage of the day before. Of course I do struggle to leave the stuff behind and think about what I didn't get done the day before and what I did wrong and what not. I think many people struggle with that. I do love starting each day fresh with a clean slate. I am thankful I can do that and our past does not determine our future in a lot of ways. There are of course things in our past that affect us for the rest of our life for sure with far reaching consequences but there is so much that I am thankful I can leave in the past and start a fresh new path if I need to. I make so many mistakes and there are many I am happy and thankful to leave behind me. For these reasons I am thankful for a brand new day.

Day 292: A new computer
Hello again,
As much as I didn't want to spend money on a new computer I had to find a way to do so. I have alot of other things that I would prefer to spend money on but my computer was dying and running very very poorly and I use my computer for so much. Some of that could possibly earn me some money in the future but not sure yet. Plus with me still having difficulty getting out of the house sometimes, the computer is still a useful link to friends. I feel I should be defending my decision to buy a computer when money is so tight. But I suppose I have a right to do what I feel is right and I shouldn't feel the need to defend my actions-I will try not to. I have my reasons to do this and I thought about it alot and I felt it is the right decision. So I am able to be happy about this computer and how fast it is. It makes working on the computer so much easier. I no longer feel the need to throw it out the window several times a day. I can work on my photographs that I take and not have the whole computer freeze or crash. I don't have to worry about losing all my data any longer though it is always a possibility with every single computer. lol Having a better computer means I have room to run better photo editing software which hopefully will lead to me being able to sell my photos at some point. I can even run internet explorer without it freezing! lol so many positives! It is absolutely huge compared to my old computer and it will be fun to use I think. I am thankful I was able to work my budget to allow for a computer and to find a super good sale at the time I needed one that I could get a good computer with the amount of money I had available to use. It all seems to have worked out well in the end and I am very thankful for that as well. For this post I am thankful for a new computer.
I feel the need to mention that I got the computer from Future Shop and my experience with them and customer service was excellent to the point I feel the need to mention them. I reccomend Future Shop completely. No I am not getting paid to advertise. lol I am doing this only because I was treated exceptionally well and I am returning the favour I suppose the only way I can. I have dealt with Future Shop on several occasions and I am always pleased. Thanks for reading my little blurb about Future Shop. :)

Day 291: Cheesecake
Hello again,
This post is for yesterday because I was unable to post. I have been craving cheesecake lately so I made some. Oh my goodness it tastes sooooo amazing! Any cheesecake tastes amazing to me and I am so thankful for it and the genius who came up with it in the first place. I don't know who came up with the wonderful idea to mix the ingredients together to make cheesecake and to put it in a pie crust but I am forever grateful for that! Can you tell I love cheesecake? lol I think my favorite would be chocolate cheesecake though and top it with fruit and it is absolutely divine! I knew I could not spend a year listing blessings and not fit in cheesecake somewhere. :) For this post I am thankful for cheesecake (and the person who came up with it).
