When I'm walking each day, I try to put my thinking cap on and think while I'm listening to my ipod. But I also enjoy the various things to look at and be thankful for while I'm walking. I pass by the elementary school (Monroe) at the top of my street where my children both went to school from Kindergarten to 5th grade. And I think about all the little children that go there and also that this is Kaitlyn's senior year. Wow, how time flies. It seems like yesterday when we ran up to the front door in August to see what teacher she got and which one of her friends was in her class.
Then I pass by houses that are more decorated for Halloweeen than ours is. Joe is a fanatic about Halloween. These people go all out....
I'm thankful I have a sidewalk to walk down a busy street. And that the street is tree-lined and in a few days will be covered with bright yellow and red leaves.
And then I circle back to our little house. The one we've lived in for 21 years. The one where my children were brought home from the hospital and I'm very thankful. Thankful that I have a home, a family, and yes, even the crazy halloween decorations that scare the pants off me whenever they start moving or making their various noises, etc. when I walk by them. And this is tame compared to our next door neighbor. It's usually a contest (think the Griswold's in the Vacation movies) between our two houses. But it's all in fun.
