| 30 Day Blogging Challenge Prompt 18 ▼ Fun fact: Thanksgiving 2025 is also my 46th birthday. I'm thankful the kids have turned out to be happy and successful young adults that don't live at home but still stop every now and then to chat.

I'm thankful that Hubby still madly loves me and doesn't mind my silvery tresses. I'm thankful I finally published all my poetry to share with my family. Finally, I'm thankful I'll be celebrating by 25th WdC Anniversary soon and have learned so much here. |
| 30 Day Blogging Challenge Prompt 17 ▼ My house is never quiet. It's easy to be lured into a false sense of silence, but listening closely reveals the hidden truth of noises everywhere. The hum of the air conditioner is just noticeable. In the distance, church bells mark the hour with a soft tinkle. From the kitchen, I can hear the faucet drip in a hypnotic pattern. My windows rattle as a dump truck rumbles its way down the road. By far the best sound is the gentle rustle of leaves as the wind carries them through the sky. |

but seems to be okay today. I worry about my poor circulation, scrub my toes with a soft bristle brush, watch discoloration come and go. I probably need new arteries or veins but hey... "Heathcare" USA (enough said?). I may be better off trying something here in Thailand. But still... wish I lived in a country that had adequate patient based healthcare. Thailand and Taiwan mostly do, but I can't access it. First world systems like Europe, Canada and Australia do, but again, I can't access it.
