Hello again,
Today I am thankful for the stars and being able to see the stars. Ever since I can remember, I have had a fascination with the stars in the sky. Going outside at night and looking up to see all the millions of stars was and still is a lot of fun. I remember some nights I have gone outside where it has been so incredibly clear and the view just about takes my breath away. There is something so beautiful about all those stars up there. I also learned a few years ago that during the middle of the night there is a time when it is spectacular-more so than any other time of the night. I sometimes get up about 3am because I get hungry and one night I looked out the window and just couldn't believe how many stars were in the sky. I actually stepped outside for a better look and my jaw dropped. You know that moment where something is so beautiful and it litterally takes your breath away? Or if you are like me then you almost fall over because you are still walking and you notice it and don't watch where you are going and run in to something. It was seriously that beautiful. I am thankful for the stars because they are just so beautiful and when I see something beautiful I smile and it feels nice. It is simple really. There are not multiple reasons why I am thankful for this and there doesn't have to be. So this is why I am thankful for the stars.

Day 340:Fly swatters
Hello again,
I am thankful for fly swatters because they work a lot better than rolled up newspaper. When there is a fly I definitely prefer using a swatter over trying to find something to roll up and hit it with. Plus you don't get fly guts all over your newspaper. I have to admit this is all I have today. It has been a rough day but even though this is something small-I am still thankful for it. Thanks for reading my blog and hopefully understanding that some days are more difficult than others. There are many things I am thankful for today but this is all I can come up with that I have not posted about yet. Fly swatters really do work better and I am very thankful for that. :)

Day 339: getting caught up
Hello again,
First and formost I am thankful for getting caught up because it feels great! The reason this came to mind obviously is because I have been attempting to get caught up on my blog. I love that moment that I switch from being behind to being caught up on something whether it's paper work or cleaning or my blog. That feeling of accomplishment that I have finally finished catching up and there is no more left to do. If you feel stress from being behind-then the stress is all of a sudden gone and a weight is lifted. Plus if you are a list maker like me-you get to cross something off the list which always feels great! Plus I have one less thing hanging over my head that I need to deal with. I should mention I don't fall behind on purpose so I can catch up and feel good because it also feels good to not be behind in the first place. But we can't always keep up to stuff that we need to do. I do love the sense of accomplishment and the feeling that I conquered a big task (when it is big). With my blog I feel good that I am finally caught up and I don't need to do double posts anymore... unless I fall behind again. I wish I could have kept up with it but things happen. I just hope that I don't have to go through any more hospital stays that I fall behind again. I will cross the bridge when/if I come to it though. Anyways, these are the reasons I am thankful for getting caught up.

Day 338: my comfy clothes
Hello again
This post is for yesterday because I was busy catching up and didn't get to this one. Hopefully that makes sense. When I first started thinking about what to write I was trying to think what happened yesterday and of course the beatles song pops in my head. lol It's funny to me how I say a word and a song pops in my head. Anyways for this post I am thankful for my comfy clothes. I think a lot of people have them-the ones you love to wear when you are at home and you don't need to worry about looking great. I have well worn in jeans I love and a really comfy hoodie. plus a shirt of course. lol they are the clothes I love to wear around the house and curl up in. I like looking good but when I come home I like to change into my comfy clothes as soon as possible. They are worn in and soft and feel nice to wear. Some people like sweat pants or pajamas or what ever. They fit me just nice and they are comfortable. They look presentable as well which is a plus! I feel at ease too somehow like I don't have to worry about staying clean or not spilling on them because it isn't that big of a deal if I do. My movements are not restricted either like some clothes tend to do. For these reasons I am thankful for my comfy clothes.

Day 337: Inspiring quotes
Hello again,
This post is for yesterday because I was busy catching up on previous posts. This one is really simple. I am thankful for inspiring quotes because they.... you guessed it... inspire me. I have a lot that I love but some stick with me more than others. The top one I think that I think about lots is "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's learning how to dance in the rain." I think I am finally applying it to my life. For me, I am learning to accept the pain I deal with and be happy despite the pain. Just because we are in pain does not mean we can't enjoy ourselves. Or as the quote goes- we can still have fun even during the storms. It isn't easy sometimes but it is well worth it! Another quote I love is "Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us dragons exist but because they tell us dragons can be beaten." GK Chesterton. This one reminds me that I can beat what ever dragon I am facing and to continue fighting. There is also this one as well "Life isn't about the amount of breaths you take but the moments that take your breath away" We don't have to have a long life to have a good life. There are so many more but for now these are what stand out in my mind. Inspirational quotes inspire me to continue when I feel ready to quit. Some may feel the quotes I listed are not really inspirational but they are to me and I think that is what matters. They encourage me to continue or to better my life or remind me that I can get through the tough stuff. For these reasons I am thankful for inspirational quotes.

Day 336: Elevators
Hello again,
This post is for Sunday Sept. 25 because I was unable to post. The biggest reason I am thankful for elevators is that it saves time when you have to go up like 10 flights of stairs. It also saves me from getting out of breath. :) I do prefer to take stairs when I can but some days my legs do not work the way I want them too and the elevator is a life saver. Other times when you have a bunch of stuff, it is easier to take an elevator than to attempt to lug it all up stairs. If you have a stroller or a wheel chair-elevators make all the difference. Some make me feel funny though if they jerk when they stop and start. You know the feeling-like you are still moving when you aren't. For some people, stairs just are not possible and elevators make it possible to move between floors. For these reasons I am thankful for elevators.

Day 335: Nailclippers
Hello again,
This post is for Saturday Sept. 24 because I was in the hospital and could not post. Nailclippers may seem odd to be thankful for but they are really so handy and do a way better job on nails than anything else. I have had times I do not have nail clippers and I try to be resourceful and use something else. I have yet to find something that works good. maybe I haven't tried the right stuff but for me-nail clippers are the best. Being without nail clippers when I need them reminds me how much I love them. On Saturday I was without nailclippers when I needed a pair and I was reminded how much I wished I had some. Nail clippers also work great when you are without scissors and need to open a bag or snip off a loose thread.. They work a lot better than teeth do. :) There are a few good uses for them other than nails. So I am thankful for nail clippers.
