Happy Thanksgiving

It's pitch black outside as I write this and it seems so strange. I'm used to daylight at this hour but tis Fall now and soon it will be winter. I'm not prepared for the freezing cold and the lonely looking trees standing stark against the morning sky.

Oh well, it's Thanksgiving so I should be talking about the things I'm most thankful for instead of bellyaching. Sorry but age has it's privileges. As I sit here clicking the keys and making noise that keeps hubby awake, I can hear his sonorous breathing, not missing a beat as he snores his way to morning. He was up all night watching TV and he is worn out. I awakened to the TV going with a discussion on the best light bulbs to use, but with sound so low I could barely hear it. The flashes of light is what woke me up. I thought, FIRE! Now that wakes you up and gets you moving in a hurry.

I'm most thankful for my wonderful hubby whom God has gifted me with for 49 years. We have been through some pretty heavy stuff together and we have grown closer instead of letting it separate us to each go our own way. At our age we have to take care of one another for we are what we are, two old fogies rattling around the house together.

Of course after so many years together, our physiques have changed considerably. I remember when we used to be thin and walked with a skip in our step. Now we mostly skip a step, period!. Yep, the canes need to come out where they are handy. While passing each other in the long hallway, one must step aside to let the other go by. Our girth doesn't allow us both to use the same space at the same time. It really ticks me off when he presses up against the wall. I'm not that big!! Well maybe just a tad...Gravity hasn't helped our situation any either. That's for darn sure. There's certainly no more showers together. That ended long ago. We ended up laughing so hard at one another naked that we were too weak to climb out of the shower. The tub sides just seemed to get higher somehow.

Ooops, complaining instead of praising and being thankful. I can see this is a lost cause because I can't stay on subject so will just wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your day of being thankful for all God has blessed you with.

Enjoy your day of football and I'll enjoy my Parades. I'm still a kid at heart.

Hugs
