Thankful for my husband. ❤️ Who are you thankful for today? “It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses, we must plant more roses.” -G.

Thankful for those who go above and beyond. Here’s an example. This young lady learned sign language just so she could communicate with a daily customer. Time and kindness…priceless. “Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” ~ Mark Twain “You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you…
