How could I be thankful for such an ugly year?
January 9, 2020: Farewell Cat Car The Hubby was in a auto accident in early January; Cat Car I was totaled, but so very thankful that he walked away.
January 24, 2020: She's Gone: We made the decision to let Angel leave her failing body. Despite the continuing ache in our hearts at her loss, we are beyond thankful that she was a loving personality in our lives since 2004.
March 18, 2020: Welcome Spring! Joyously happy for a surprise birthday party thrown for me, on March 14, with terrific friends, hilarity, and yummy yum food!
March 19, 2020: Whoa! What?!? Was when Sweetie became a housecat, and despite losing diseased teeth at the veterinarian's office, she's doing great, and we love her to pieces.
April 10, 2020: Four Weeks Thankful for a corporation that pulled us out of the office at the first notice of the COVID 19 pandemic.
August 3, 2020: Launch Into The Future Scary was the July call from my supervisor, who informed me that my position was being furloughed/eliminated, but in the same breath, offered me another job...very thankful for THAT!
Thankful that my elderly mother is going strong, despite a few oopsies and booboos, while she lives alone. Since Michigan has had such a huge spike in COVID cases, I haven't visited her in months. Several of my siblings ARE able to visit her, and every one of us telephones her multiple times a week.

Thankful for The Hubby, who took in stride my working from home, even though he is used to having the house to himself for most of Monday through Friday.

I am so very thankful for my friends and loved ones, this blogging community, and the Facebook communities of cat lovers, owl lovers, books lovers, and hilarious memes and jokes that keep me smiling and giggling!
And let us all be thankful for the frontline health workers, and the folks who work at the grocery stores and post offices, to keep things going as well as possible.
My heart goes out to those who've lost loved ones and friends to this illness; may the end of this pandemic be SOON.
⭐🥂🎇 Happy New Year!🥂🎇⭐
Let's Hop!
