Thank you notes – January 2021
Here we are…the first Thank You Notes post of 2021! And I have much for which to be grateful. For those of you who may be new to Thank You Notes, it is my way of recognizing the many everyday joys…big and small…from the past month…a gratitude journal in pictures and thank-yous, if you will. My hope is that you will also be inspired to share your happy moments as well.
So without further ado, let’s get started.
Thank you Amazon…
…for our Walker Edison Farmhouse Sliding Barn Door Entryway Bench Shoe Storage Shelf Hallway Organizer. (That’s a mouth-full!) It was exactly what we were looking for. Thank you Larry for putting it together. (Notice Larry’s side is much fuller than mine…just saying.)
Thank you Mother Nature…
…for another spectacular sunrise. You’ve outdone yourself again. Thank you for the beautiful fresh start. Thank you for another day on this earth.
Thank you Buddy…
…for all of the joy and love. Thank you for luring the family over to meet you. We’ve had such fun with you and with them these past couple of weeks. Thank you once again to Petfinder and Celestial Zoo for bringing us together. Thank you Patches for fostering Buddy until we could give him a permanent home.
Thank you Larry…
…for 22 beautiful roses…
…to celebrate 22 amazing years. Thank you Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse for the delicious, artistic caramelized banana cream pie.

Hi Christie – lots of happies in your household by the look of things. Happy Anniversary, happy family togetherness time, happy doggy time as Buddy seems to have settled in nicely, and I love your new shoe holder – very snazzy and very useful I imagine.
Thank you Leanne. It was a month full of happy. I hope all is well with you!
How can I not chime in?
Best experience in January? The 24th (no brainer)❤️
And do I take pictures? And go back and look at them? Over 7.000 on my phone currently. And I’ve been known to have to “come back” to COSTCO’s photo desk to pick up my zip-drive after a few hours of time to transfer my photos?
And my “now” grateful moment? I’m not at our home in Southern Utah where it snowed last night!!!
No surprises here. ? Well, except maybe snow in Southern Utah. I guess we timed that right. I love you!
Thank you, Christie, for sharing your Thank You Notes series with us. These posts are always uplifting, inspiring and contagious!
Happy 22nd Wedding Anniversary (This past January 21, was Richard’s and my 21st)!
You’re welcome Donna. Happy anniversary to you and Richard! Ours was the 24th. It’s hard to believe two decades have come and gone! So much life lived…with any luck, so much more to come.
Hi Christie, You are definitely a bright part of the internet. A great looking little bench. Hmmmm….I may consider for our entrance. Buddy is obviously well loved and I am sure the feelings are mutual. Congratulations on 22 years! I could fill up pages with all I am grateful for. At the moment, for Christie, who shares her light.xx
Thank you, Erica, for those kind words. You are such a sweetheart. I am glad you enjoyed January’s thank you notes. It was a lovely month.
Your thank you note posts are among my favorites. Glad Buddy was able to lure the family over for introductions. I am sure he won over everyone’s heart. Our kitties are here with only the two of us so much that they are very standoffish to anyone who comes to visit. My daughters take their coolness personally but the kitties just never see anyone.
Beautiful flowers. That Larry kinda likes you, I think!!
Thank you Leslie. I’m glad you enjoyed it. You are right, Buddy stole hearts all month! He tried to act tough each time someone came to the door, but then one sniff and one head rub, and he had a new friend. Larry is so thoughtful to give me flowers every anniversary (and other occasions too). He is a sweetheart!
