Ten Things of Thankful: October is Here!

Aren't you thankful for Octobers? Looking out my window right now, I see red leaves of sumac, and just-starting-to-yellow aspen leaves. The clouds above the mountains are dark, and if the weather forecast is to be believed, we will have more thunder and lightening and rain tonight--probably right as this post is published. I love the coziness of autumn.

Whether or not you enjoy this season, I hope you will join us in another week of the Ten Things of Thankful blog hop. Read what the other bloggers have posted, comment, and share in this thank-fest! 😊

Ten Things of Thankful 9/28/2018

Sometimes it is hard to see summer go, but I hope that you are experiencing the eye-opening thankful heart. Gratitude really does change one's perspective, as those who have joined us in this weekly blog hop can attest.

Ten Things of Thankful: 9/21/2018

While looking online for quotes about thankfulness, I came across this one:
“Every morning, I wake up and think about 10 different things I’m thankful for, and I continue to spread that love throughout the day, always visualizing, meditating, and growing.” – Shameik Moore

I'm not familiar with the actor--grandmas are probably not his target audience--but I thought his sentiment tied perfectly into this blog's purpose. 

What are you thankful for today? (And if anyone knows Shameik Moore, feel free to invite him to this blog hop!)

The news this week has been filled with reflective reports of the anniversary of 9/11,  speculative dialogue about the amount of rain and damage that Hurricane Florence will bring, as well as coverage of the latest political tweets. No matter what is going on around us, though, we can find things to be thankful for. Won't you join us?

Last weekend might have been the traditional hurrah to summer, but the season isn't officially over yet. Regardless of whether you are a summer-holder-onner, or a autumn-welcomer, there are plenty of reasons to be thankful. Come tell us about your trip to the beach, how much you love all things pumpkin, or anything else that you are thankful for!

Ten Things of Thankful: 08/31/2018

It's Labor Day Weekend here in the US. Though the calendar still says fall is yet to come, traditionally the first weekend in September signals the end of the carefree days of summer. Whatever the season, being thankful is always in style.
