Ongoing Thoughts of Thanksgiving!

Good Evening, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!

Eventhough, it has started to become cool and foggy in the mornings; the afternoons have been gorgeous! Temperatures in the tid 70's! That is usually the start to the day, then followed by tids of warm sunshine. No complaints!

To recap a bittid. Our elderly neighbour enjoyed the tomato soup that Alan made and when he was here last night, he brought over a dessert, which was delicious! Our friend dropped by again earlier this evening, and Alan gave him a bit of spaghetti, sauce, and parmesan cheese for his dinner tonight. He is a lovely man.

It is all about genuine give and take. We have been very fortunate with our neighbours and they have become friends.

As mentioned, we have been doing a lot of decluttering / weeding out of 'stuff.' Our garage is looking much better. We went to the Thrift store earlier today and it was a 'win win' situation for all those concerned!

Also, very recently there was a large garbage bin in our complex; the purpose being to 'declutter stuff.' Amongst the bits of 'throw-aways', there were 3 area rugs in the bin; and we could not believe that they were 'discarded', as they appeared to be in great shape! Particularly, one carpet, which we now have in our family room. It fits the space perfectly! The colours of this beautiful Persian rug look awesome with our furniture! It would seem that the 'frills' on the outer edge of this carpet have gone. Other than that, we can not see any other apparent flaws. The other 2 area carpets are too big for our home; but they will work well in our garage. That is, once we have rearranged, reorganized things, as well as thoroughly sweeping the garage floor. So that is a nice Thanksgiving gift, indeed, methinks!

Also, when we were out earlier in our travels today, we discovered a wonderful Produce Store, a Meat Store, and a Bakery! We look forward to shopping there when timing permits!

We will be cooking up a little turkey for Saturday evening. That way, there will be tidbit leftovers for additional meals. We are appreciative and thankful for our Blessings! As I shared earlier, we had to gracefully decline a kind invitation from some good friends for Sunday. Normally, we would drive the long distance to see our friends; however, at this time, we have had to prudently pass.

Tidbit - Treat each and every day as a 'mini' thanksgiving!

Bittid - Continue to be upliting and to be of 'good cheer' to others, regardless of your circumstances. Remember, your situations are only temporary. When you 'shine' and are genuinely thankful and joyful, others are drawn to you. Do that daily! You never know how much a random act of kindness, a word of encouragement, and / or a gentle smile may ignite and / or mean to someone who may be in major need!

We will enjoy this long weekend as it unfolds! Happy Thanksgiving to all those who are celebrating Thanksiving at this time!
