Thankful to my garden neighbors

We're having a really healthy dinner tonight.... with fresh produce from the gardens, though not from MY garden.... which, as we know, did not do well at all this year...

so we're having roasted fresh beets... picked from Mary's garden this morning... she's such a sweet lady, i love her to death!

and broiled fresh zucchinis from Janine's garden, she donated them to us as well...

and a steak, for protein.

i'm finding thankfulness comes more easily to me these days... when we're in trouble, or in need, these friends have reached out to me and mine...

and i'm thankful that when i was raising my children, i showed them the same behavior. one time, we saw a homeless man, it was a cold, raw day... and i don't generally like to just hand over money... but we went to the McDonald's, and bought the largest meal they had, with 2 large coffees.. and took them back to the man.

my daughter has done the same thing, as have i, other times as well.

we need to take care of each other... i truly believe that, perhaps more now that i need some care-taking .,...

a good meal, helped by good friends... it's a good day.
