Thankful Thursday
There’s so much I have to be thankful for, but on this Thankful Thursday, I’m going to be especially thankful for:
Good vision … it’s amazing how much better I’m seeing with my new glasses. Of all my senses, I am most thankful for my sense of sight. With it, I can read, I can sew, I can see the smiles on the faces of the people that I love, I can see God’s artwork … beautiful sunrises/sunsets, majestic mountains, beautiful blue waters crashing on snow-white beaches. I’m just so thankful for the gift of sight.
Good health … I’m so thankful that I can get down on the floor and play with my Ts, that I’m able to do the things that I enjoy … biking, walking, sewing.
Time with my Ts … I’m thankful that DD entrusts them to my care … and I’m thankful to be able to play an active role in their lives as they grow up.
Technology … with email, I can keep in touch each day with my dad and my sisters (even though we’re miles and miles apart), with Facebook, I can reconnect with friends from high school, with blogs, I can be inspired and encouraged.

My mother in law just had cataract surgery yesterday and no longer needs her glasses for distance. My eyesight has really decllined in the past year. I miss my 20/20!
ReplyDeleteOf all my senses, I most enjoy my sight. I love to see the beauty of creation. I love to paint and create. I love to read. I am most thankful for my sight.
ReplyDeleteI use to take my vision for granted until I had a corneal ulcer last year, my vision was completely restored but it made me appreciate the gift good vision is. Also learned when you wear contacts good eye care a must!
ReplyDeleteMy distance vision is great - almost perfect but I have to have readers to read or see the computer screen ;( - miss those days when I didn't need those.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are in good health! It's such a blessing I think some take for granted.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great list of things to be thankful for! I agree with all... Life with glasses is much better than without, isn't it?! LOL
ReplyDeleteI agree about good health.. and I think good eyesight is included there. Then, like you, I am thankful for technolgy too, to allow me to be close to my family while I am many states away. This is a very nice post to remember the good things.
ReplyDeleteHooray for new glasses! Hooray for floor time with the grandchildren! Being a grandparent in a childs life is a major role. I wish my sister did email.
ReplyDeleteYour thankfulness could've been written by me...tho, I do have an account with Facebook, I have never really liked it much. For me, it's way too collegiate and not a friendly place for users. But that is my opinion. I keep it handy-dandy with a bookmark tho, 'cause that is how I can keep in touch with my daughter. The "T" for me would be texting on the smartphone. This is much more 'fun'. LOLOLOL
ReplyDeleteYes, our sight and good health are such wonderful gifts, and keeping up with family with technology available these days!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
