and it contains a fire update if you read
Haiku Friday #89 yesterday.
NaBloPoMo-Day 15
below yesterday. She also invited visitors to join in the Giving Thanks Challenge hosted by South Breeze Farm. I checked this challenge out and decided better late than never, so I started my list today in the sidebar. I encourage YOU to check it out as time permits and join in on your blog ... inviting others to participate as well ... just because.
You Are 96% Thankful |
You're an incredibly thankful person, and everyone around you feels very appreciated. You inspire people to be more optimistic, forgiving, and grateful. |
I received an email from a friend about sending holiday cards to American Soldiers and want to pass the idea on ... just because. After checking with Snopes Urban Legends Reference Pages, I learned about a Holiday Mail for Heroes program sponsored by the American Red Cross. If you decide to participate, take a minute to check out guidelines & details at the Holiday Mail for Heroes link.
Addendum:
I prepared this post yesterday and scheduled it to publish this morning, but decided to add a note first because I awoke early and learned there's a new firestorm in Sylmar located north of Los Angeles in the foothills of Angeles National Forest ... near an area that burned just last month. Apparently it started last night around 10pm & resulting from the same 'windy weather conditions' that caused yesterdays burn in Montecito. I've included details in today's Photo Hunt at Sacred Ruminations.
Please pray for quick containment and for everyone affected ... especially the fire-fighters facing dangerous conditions on precarious terrain.

Have been watching CNN for the last few hours and the big news is the fires. I sure hope everyone is safe.
Just stopping by on my weekend blogathon blog jog! Hope you have a great weekend! :-)
I enjoyed your 'thankful for' list in the sidebar. :)
Thank you for posting the updates about the fire, and the lives being affected.
Yes, yes....I've been watching and reading about all the fires. Horrendous, and scary.
I'm gonna have to go and see just how thankful I am now...you did good on the quiz. Almost 100%!!! I'm totally impressed.
What a great idea about the cards--thanks for sharing the info! I'm 91% thankful--and I can see where I could use a little more work! And I love your thankful list!!
Hi there! Found your link on Leah's blog and came by to visit. You have a real fun blog and I definitely need to spend some time checking it out more. Will try some of these quizzes/meme's you have posted as well. That giraffe on your sidebar is neat.
It may not be a Photo Hunt entry but it's a "thankful" entry nevertheless! ;b
