The Thankful Thursday Blog Hop is hosted by Brian from Brian’s Home. He encourages us to say what we are thankful for today.
Today I am thankful that I could help a friend yesterday. We met during my inpatient stay last year, and stayed in contact ever since. She lives alone and was in need of someone she could talk to. I was able to do that yesterday. I also came up with some rational thoughts for her feelings. While we talked, we had a wonderful dinner. It was warm, so we sat outside – it was a nice energetic, lively atmosphere around us. And I soaked up every minute of it! So it’s safe to say, both of us had a good evening.
Like I always say, I get lots of help, so I try to give back when I am able to.

What a wonderful thankful. Helping others is what keeps us from going wonky and mean as we age – I truly believe that!
