Thirteen Things to be Grateful For
Hello and happy Thursday Thirteen to everyone. As you know, this date is important. I won’t get into it very much - and I hope you’ll forgive me for it - because it’s all been said many different ways. Better than I could express it really.
So instead of the usual thirteen writing prompts, I’ve decided to do something a bit simpler and more meaningful.
1. Significant others - husbands, wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, etc.
2. Family - either blood family and/or those who are family in all ways but blood.
3. Having the internet. If you’re reading this, you have internet access somehow. I reckon that’s something to be grateful for.
4. Home. I might be guessing at this one, but I’m assuming if you have some sort of internet access, you also have a home, which is more than thousands - if not millions - of people around the world can say.
5. Little luxuries. Maybe you’re like me and are addicted to chai lattes or maybe you save up to buy a book a month. Little luxuries are definitely things to be grateful for.
6. Social sites. I don’t know if you’re a member of any, but I met my husband on a forum. I’ve met a lot of my friends online. I swap goodies with people all over the world. All thanks to social sites.
7. Good weather. After a long, cold, dreary winter, I am so very grateful for the sunshine that has been happening lately.
8. Beauty of nature. This goes a bit hand in hand with my weather thoughts, but the beauty of nature is something I’m always grateful for.
9. Senses. It may be silly, but imagine if you had no senses at all. Couldn’t smell, see, hear, taste, touch. What kind of life would that be?
10. New friends. I’m always a bit amazed and happy when new friends come into my life. And grateful as well.
11. Books. Yes, this is coming from a book addict, but think of all the knowledge held in books. Stories. People. Places.
12. Random acts of kindness.
13. Non-junk, non-bill mail.
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!
