Thankful Thursday

Posted on by

The three most important words in the English language are: “I appreciate you.” ~Author unknown, c.1960s

Yearly they appear

Asking nothing much of me

But to notice them

Note: Poetry form is Haiku. My friend Laurie introduced me to Thankful Thursday, in which we write about some of the things we’re grateful for. These Brown-eyed Susans greet me every summer by July. I didn’t plant them, and they don’t seem to demand anything from me. How cool is that?!

  3. Debbie, I love this post because I am an advocate for focusing on gratitude. Every morning, I start my day by saying “Thank You” for the blessings in my life. It’s starts my day off with “positivity.”

    Isn’t nature amazing? I find it not only beautiful, but grounding.

    Thank you for sharing this today, my friend! You started my day off with GRATITUDE!

    Have a faaaaaaabulous weekend! X

    • Ron, I know you, too, are a huge fan of gratitude, and it’s really not too hard to find things to be thankful for! Not only do I start my days with thankfulness; I end them that way, too. That probably sounds like “Little Debbie Sunshine,” but really — there are enough people grumbling about what’s wrong with our world. Why should I add to that?!

      Enjoy your upcoming weekend, my friend. They tell us we’re finally going to dry out from DAYS of rain and thunderstorms. We will see. Poor Monk is eager to go for a walk again! xx

    • Thanks, Laurie. Yes, my Susans generally hang around through September, though they’re starting to look pretty scraggly by then!

  5. So beautiful! Planned gardens can be beautiful, but I love the unpredictableness of wildflowers. I’m glad some have found a comfortable home with you!

    • Linda, not only have they found a comfortable home here — they’ve brought their kinfolk! When I first noticed them several years ago, they were a fairly small patch of gold along my fence. They’ve since spread to a huge patch on one fence and another large patch on the perpendicular fence! Part of me thinks I should transplant them to a better location, but why mess with success?!

    • Indeed she is, Eliza. And the fact that I don’t have to weed, water, de-bug, and all the rest makes them practically perfect — Mary Poppins flowers!!
