I’m Thankful for…..
I’ve created an acrostic poem using photos and words in response to Terri’s prompt for Sunday Stills Photo Challenge – Thankful
Enjoy!
T is for TREES
H is for HEALTH
A is for AGE
N is for NATURE
K is for KINDNESS
F is for FAMILY
U is for UNEMPLOYED
L is for LOVE
Thankful = Trees, Health, Age, Nature, Kindness, Family, Unemployed, Love
These are all photos from my image library from over my years of blogging. It was very hard at times, finding the right photo for the words, but I’m happy with my collection of Thankful Thoughts. These are all things that are very special to me.
Feel free to leave a comment below.
What’s your favourite photo from my selection of Thankful Thoughts? And what are you thankful for?
I always love hearing from you!

Loved them all Deb – especially the ones of you and your husband – and the extended family. It always comes back to family for me too xx

Thanks so much Leanne – there was no question that F would be for Family! I agree it’s all about family for me too.

Thanks so much Rachna, I’m so pleased to hear that. I could have used Unique for the letter U as it really had me stumped for ages. Yes my 57 years bold shirt only has . a few more weeks of life in it, before my birthday. Maybe I can get away with it for a while longer 🙂

I love the photo gratitude list! And I am intrigued by “U.” I taught in public schools in the US for 15 years…and that career did not end happily. The end of that career was the theme of my gratitude list this year, because it has led to a better place for me as well. I look forward to reading about more of your adventures! I have added you to my reading list! #mlstl

That’s so good to hear Bethany! I, (along with many other dedicated teachers), was made redundant after 20+ years of teaching in a men’s correctional centre (Jail). It really hurt at the time but now I’m happily retired (at very young age) and loving life. I’m sorry to hear your career didn’t end happily either. I’ll go and find your post, I’m sure we have much in common. Thanks again for stopping by!
