Giving Thanks Day Challenge Number 16
I am Thankful for all the farmers who grow our food.
It is easy to take food for granted because
we can just walk in a store and buy what we need.
I am also Thankful that i have enough money
to be able to buy the food we need.

Once again is was a warm morning for walking with the temperature at 55 degrees. The ground was wet but it wasn't raining when i left. After a little while of walking it started to drizzle so i went back home and got my umbrella and left again. It rained on and off the whole time so my umbrella went up and down quite a few times.I just walked around the neighborhoods and on a couple of paths. Walked down some side streets that i haven't been on before and discovered a short path at the end of a dead end road. This footbridge is at the end of the path which opens up on a field at a school.

I was going to go to the commissary but just didn't feel like going in the rain. It seemed like a good day to stay at home.
So i decided to tackle the living room. I've spent the day giving it a good cleaning and rearranging the furniture in the process. I enjoy changing around the furniture every so often just for a change. Everyone in my family does this except for my one grandmother (dad's mom). From when i was a little girl until the day she died, once something found a place in her house, it stayed put. It was kind of comforting in a way to know that at her house you knew everything would be the same. Gramma was the same too, a loving woman who never had a mean thing to say about anyone. I sure miss her!
What about you? Do things at your house get rearranged or do you like things to stay in one place?

Now that i did all that work, it's time for relaxing. : )
Happyone : )
Life just is.
But life itself is a gift.
It's a compliment just being born:
to feel, breathe, think, play, dance, sing,
work, make love, for this particular lifetime.
Today, let's give thanks for life.
For life itself. For simply being born!

I rearrange the furniture a few times a year. Some things just can't be rearranged, though.
Yay! You captured the deer wearing his antlers! So cool.
I hate to rearrange the furniture. Once I find a place that I like for something, there it stays. Besides when I get REALLY old, my brain will be patterned and I won't get lost.
Thank you for letting me know about the comment problem on my handmadebygoosey blog. I have sorted it out now! I hardly ever rearrange furniture, perhaps I should!
Whenever I felt the urge to buy new furniture or accessories, I would rearrange everything. Afterward it made me feel like I had a room full of new stuff. My husband never liked it when I changed things around....he was one to have things stay the same. But, as you know, nothing stays the same. LOL
Looks like you had a beautiful walk today... We have had 2 days of rain here --and it's getting colder outside now.
I can't ever remember a time that I rearranged furniture in any room... Guess that means I'm in a rut!!!!! ha ha.... Now sure how else I could rearrange our living room though.... Making me think!!!!
Hugs,

When I was a kid I loved it when my mom rearranged the furniture. It always seemed so exciting to me. I never rearrange my own furniture. I think it's because the way the rooms are laid out there seems to be only one way for the furniture to go. I do, however, rearrange accessories often. It's like playing for me and gives enough of a change to be a little different.
What a cute deer....did you ever find out what it means when a deer stomps his hoof?
I sure wish I could be as faithful walking everyday as you are.....I hate walking...I love strolling..hee hee....but give me an excuse...rain, cold,I stay home...I need an attitude adjustment I think
I like lifting weights though..does that count?
and yes, I do love to move a few things when I really get in there and clean...hoing someone will notice my hard work...:-O
Where we do the most of our "living," The Hearth Room, I'd love to move furniture around. But the layout does not allow it. We know. We've tried. :-)
Kind of the same situation, in the Den. So I don't get the urge to move things about, very often. :-)
Gentle hugs,
I don't think a really good pie can be made without a dozen or so children peeking over your shoulder as you stoop to look in at it every little while. ~John Gould
