Being thankful in November

I wanted to be on time and post this on the first day of the month but since I was sick I’m way behind…at least that’s the excuse I’m using. It seems the trend among my friends is to post something you’re thankful for each day. So I’m jumping on the bandwagon. I have a feeling this is going to turn into a weekly post of thanksgivings but I’m going to try and post each day! Wish me luck!

Day 1: I’m thankful for the beautiful weather this week. Though we’ve had snow already it’s back to high 60’s and an actual Fall.

Day 2: Today I’m thankful for cough drops and kleenex. I wouldn’t survive without them.
