Time for another "what are you thankful for" thread . . .
Comments (17)I record Oprah's Super Soul Sunday as she has on the most interesting spiritual thinkers on and the discussions they have are very thought provoking. Last night I was watching the one with Brene Brown, author of Daring Greatly. She mentioned from her studies she's found that those that are most joyful are also most grateful. Or as Betty Mahalik puts it, "Joy and gratitude go hand in hand. We are not grateful because we're happy, rather we're happy because we're grateful." I have so much to be grateful for, I wouldn't know where to begin...from the best husband in the world, to the privilege of being able to return home to the place where I grew up when I needed it the most, to the simplest of things like a warm fire on a cold day or the miracle of hot and cold running water...can you imagine dealing with the alternative??? I am grateful for this thread which caused me to pause and remind myself of how fortunate I am, and I'm grateful for the miracle of the internet which allows us to share our gratitude across so many thousands of miles with strangers who have become friends here at the gardenweb. Thank you....See MoreUPDATE: secret santa thank you's ( thread 7)
Comments (138)I have several cards unaccounted for as well. It's ashame that they weren't posted that they at least received. I guess they just got busy with the holidays. :-( ishareflowers - Thank you SO much, Lisa! Yes, it is better later than never! I was SO surprised to see a card so late, but so ecstatic at the same time. I'm so glad I got one more. :-) It was super special, too, packed with 11 awesome selections. Thanks for the Barese Chard, Black Seeded Simpson Lettuce, Bouquet Dill, California Wonder Bell Pepper, Slow Bolt Cilantro, Lemon Basil, Edible Chinese Luffa, Parsnip, Calico Red Popcorn, Edible Bottle Gourd, and Lovage. Several of these are big wants of mine and some very unusual varieties to come across in trade. I'm so excited! I also wanted anyone who's still reading the thread to know that I started working outside the home again. It's been a crazy adjustment, so my time is much more limited now. I haven't been keeping up with Facebook and email the way I used to. I'm very happy how it's going, though. I bet I won't have much time for trading now, though. :-( Any last connections from those of you on Facebook, though, I would be more than happy to add you! I'm not on it 10 times a day any more, but I'm still trying to keep up with my friends/family. Blessings, Angela...See Moresecret santa thread 6 thank you

I love all the categories! Until I saw them printed out, I did not realize there are so many. I like the old childhood photos done time to time too. And the pet thread. Thank you all.
