Thankful For: Reliable Electricity

Each day up to and including Thanksgiving I will post about one thing I am thankful for. I invite you to do the same if you like the idea.

Today, I am thankful for reliable electricity.

So much of my daily life involves electricity in some way. From running the furnace blower to keep our home warm, to providing light on these shorter days, to even my job as a computer programmer.  Without reliable electricity very few of these things would be practical and some not really possible. We have come to rely on electricity to navigate through life and I am thankful that it is available, at least in this part of the world, in a reliable fashion.

 

What are you thankful for today?

Scene:Nearly Perfect Bloom

[Begin scene]

Petals stretch gingerly, into the morning gloom,

Opening into a beautiful, nearly perfect bloom…

 

So colorful and vibrant, even in this light,

In better sun, I’ll bet it shows, an even better sight…

 

I hope it helps to make your day a slightly better place,

And brings to you some happy thoughts, and a smile upon your face.

[End scene]

 

Thank you for reading and have a great day!

Thankful For: A Warm Home

Each day up to and including Thanksgiving I will post about one thing I am thankful for. I invite you to do the same if you like the idea.

Today, I am thankful for a warm home.

As I sit here typing this it is below freezing outside and my furnace is running, providing warm air throughout our home.  I am thankful to be in a warm home. I know many people around the world are without such a place.  It would be nice if everyone were able to find a warm place to sleep and be comfortable and I am thankful for the people who strive to make this a reality. Keep up the good work!
