Thank you notes – November 2019
It’s easy to get so caught up in the hustle of life that we forget to appreciate the small miracles that happen every day. I created the monthly Thank You Notes post to help me relive the happy moments, savor the gratitude, and share them with you. I hope they also inspire you to think about what you have to be grateful for and share them with us.
Thank you Linda…
…for the flowers and balloons on my birthday. It was such a pleasant surprise to find them in our hotel room after a long day. I have to say I won the in-law lottery with this family. Thank you Larry for sharing them with me.
Thank you Mother Nature…
…for the beautiful fall leaves. I cannot let a month go by during the fall without expressing my gratitude for this beauty!
Thank you EMI Health team…
…for being such hard workers and yet keeping things fun. Thank you to whoever gave me the Halloween tights. I love them!
Thank you again ladies…
…for the fun plant nite at Red Rock Brewery. I enjoyed your fine company, the good food, and…
…the opportunity to create this masterpiece. Okay, masterpiece might be a little strong, but it wasn’t bad for a first attempt.
Thank you Piper…
…for the enthusiastic hug. There is nothing like the love of grandchildren. I am truly blessed with 10 of the best! (Thank you Ashley for the photo I stole from your Facebook page.)

I have always extra liked your Thank You notes, Christie. I could not help but notice the tights. Fun! A friend of mine has a planter hanging on her wall. You are now only the second person I have seen with a similar planter. Nice! I am always thankful for the abundance of “good” in my life. Thank you for being part of the “good.”?
Thank you for those kind words, Erica. Here’s to a happy November!
Hi Christie, Returning to share #MLSTL and share SM?
Thanks Erica.
So true, nothing like the love of grandbabies, their hugs are the best!! I like your Halloween tights and the planter you created!!
Thank you Dee. It was a lot of fun. And, of course, you are right about the grandchild love!
What a sweet post. Those in your life that lift you up do need to be thanked from time to time
I agree Lydia. When I first started doing gratitude posts, I had the idea to write them in the form of thank you notes, and it has stuck.
I’ve been feeling a bit stressed and overwhelmed lately. This post made me stop and think of all the good in my life and I have MUCH to be thankful for. Thanks for the reminder!
You’re welcome Cindy. There certainly is plenty to stress over. Remembering that there is joy and beauty even in the most difficult of times keeps me going. Here’s to a happy, gratitude filled November!
Hi, Christie – I am continuing to enjoy your Thank You Note series. You definitely have your priorities right! # MLSTL
Thank you Donna. I hope you are enjoying your November!
Hi Christie – another great positive post. Loved your birthday balloons and flowers (happy belated birthday) and having great in-laws is wonderful isn’t it? Also smiled at your “lovely” orange halloween tights and the granddaughter hug is priceless xx
Thanks for linking up with us at MLSTL and I’ve shared on my SM 🙂
Thank you for the kind words, Leanne, and for hosting #MLSTL. It’s such a kind, supportive community.
These posts are among my faves. And check me out, spelled that word fave the right way!!
How sweet to receive flowers in your hotel room!! I am certain Larry’s family’s love for you is just an indication of how easy you are to love.
Did you great that succulent garden in a class of some sort or did you guys just make them together for your birthday celebration? What a fun project.
Your orange tights are such fun. I enjoy wearing patterned and textured tights but have nothing that compares with your Halloween hosiery.
That Piper is pretty cute. Clearly crazy about YOU!! And I think you are pretty special, too.
Darn, I always forget to say #MLSTL
I do it all the time. 🙂
Oh, Leslie, you are definitely one of my faves! Your kind words and thoughtful comments always touch my heart. I made the succulent garden with a group of ladies from work during a plant nite at a local restaurant. It was an hour-long class following a delicious dinner. Overall, a very fun night. And so far the plants are still alive–quite a feat with me in charge! I am not known for my green thumb.
What a lovely happy post Christie! I love your thank you notes and smiled reading them . Thanks for the positive feels 🙂 #mlstl
Thank you Debbie for the kind words. Enjoy your week!
Your thank you notes always make me stop and think about everything I too have to be thankful for. Thank you for continuing to write them and prompting that gratitude thinking in my own life.
You are so welcome Pat! Enjoy your week!
Hi Christie
Love, love your succulents! And it is a masterpiece! I think it’s great you take the time to think about what you have been thankful for
1. I’m smiling today because my co-worker decorated my cubicle in purple in honor of my daughter’s last collegiate soccer game
2. Hmm. I booked a great Airbnb and my husband was pretty happy with that. I think that made him smile!
Thanks for the great post!
Lovely Theresa. Isn’t it great to have fun, caring coworkers. Good for you on the Airbnb. I hope you’re going somewhere fun.
What am I smiling about right now? Those Halloween tights of course! I really love your thank you notes. They’re a little reminder in busy days to stop and appreciate the little things that mean so much. #MLSTL
Hello Joanne. Aren’t those tights great? I was a little hesitant to wear them to work, but was glad I did. I hope you are having a lovely, gratitude-filled week.
I love your series Christie and so many happy memories for you. Writing posts like this certainly makes us focus on what we are grateful for and I know that top of my list is spending time with my grandsons. Thanks for sharing at #MLSTL and have a lovely November. xx
Thank you Sue. Aren’t we so lucky to have close relationships with our grandchildren? I am also grateful, as always, for the #MLSTL link-up. Thank you for that.
Hi Christie,
I’m thankful for your “Thank-you notes” as they always bring a smile to my face. The picture with your granddaughter is priceless.
I’m thankful and excited…my son’s wedding “Save the Date” just arrived, with a fabulous picture of him and Melissa. Very thankful he found her; she’s a perfect match!
Have a great week…
#MLSTL
I’m grateful for you Nancy–your friendship and support. That is wonderful that your son found his perfect match and that you love her too. I have such a wonderful relationship with my own mother-in-law. I wish that for everyone!
