I hope Paula of Pensacola Daily Photo won't mind me quoting her: "expressing gratitude isn't saying what you're grateful for, it's what you do with what you're grateful for." It's much like the old chestnut (or the old pecan), "actions speak louder than words."I like that because it reminds me I can talk talk talk (or write write write), but it's what I do that counts. My actions are so much more important than my "blahbedy-blah Thanksgiving platitudes." (Shoot, I worked really hard on them, too.)
I'm grateful for so many things I can't list them all here but they include my husband, my dog, my home, friends, food and freedom. I'm going to spend time enjoying all of those things today.
I wish you more blessings than you can count.
I like that too, Petrea. It's by our actions that we are known. Happy Thanksgiving and blessings to all.
ReplyDeleteGreat quote, Petrea. Happy Thanksgiving!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shell. Thanksgiving is a cozy, family holiday even if you don't overindulge. A day of counting blessings is a worthwhile day. We should do it often.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathy! Same to you.
And oranges (or are they tangerines) ripening in November. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! Can't believe some of us (SOME of us) will be roasting a turkey when it's 85 degrees outside.
ReplyDeleteClementines, Michael. The branches are so heavy they practically touch the ground. Guess what my neighbors are getting for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteKarin, I'm thankful for beautiful weather, and for the friends I've made here, including wonderful you.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL OF YOU!
ReplyDeletePetrea, I don't mind a bit. I've been seeing similar quotes nearly everywhere I go blogging these days, so comforting.
ReplyDeleteThose are some luscious looking clementines, I hope they dribble down your chin.

Green ditty?
Well said, Petrea. Have a great Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteWe had a lovely day, thank you all so much. I hope you did, too. I picked clementines this morning to take with us to two Thanksgiving dinners! (Forgot to eat a clementine, if you can believe that. It's on my list for tomorrow, but Paula they're very civilized fruit with ladylike sections that do not dribble.)
ReplyDeleteSo much to be thankful for, including some leftover pumpkin pie I got to bring home tonight! Happy Thanksgiving Petrea.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keith. I hope everyone had a good one. Boz overindulged, went to bed early and will be sleeping very late today.
ReplyDeleteLovely quote, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI've had a houseful of family all week, it was wonderful. Everyone has gone home now so I have time to visit. I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving.

P.S. I visited Shell Sheree's blog too, thanks for the suggestion, her paintings are darling!
We did have a lovely one, thank you all. Hope you did, too.
ReplyDeleteReally like your sentiments, Petrea.
