I missed doing my thank yous on Thursday this week because I was trying to get my article finished. So, here they are now.

1. I’m thankful for friends who are willing to help out with things. We got a fire pit dug in our back yard thanks to the help of some great friends, and one has also loaned us an axe so that we can make a better and stronger start on clearing out some of the jungle.

2. I’m thankful that my son has started to pick up manners and conversation skills. That he’s actually getting the whole “listening and asking” rather than shrieking thing, for the most part, and also starting to show an interest in potty training.

3. I’m thankful that we can get by. It’s rough some times but we manage it. We have a great place to live and it’s getting better every day.

What are you thankful or grateful for?
