November's Thanksgiving: Dog Walks

Every day in November I'm going to try to post something I'm thankful for. I did it last year and I'm repeating it this year. Last year I invited your participation and this year I'm asking you to participate, too.

The instructions for participating are exactly the same as they were for Potatofest. Simply mention something you're thankful for in the comments here, or email it to me, and I'll include it in one of the thankful posts; or you may prefer to post your thankful thought(s) on your own blog and send me the link(s), and I'll link up to your post. Feel free to participate as often as you like. After all, we have a lot to be thankful for.

What am I thankful for today? I think I'll start simple, with one of the small gifts, the sorts of gifts we sometimes overlook: I'm thankful for dog walks, like the one I took this afternoon. When winter comes round, it's easy to spend too much time indoors. Having to walk the dog gets me out in the fresh air even when I think I'd rather not. And I rarely, if ever, regret it. Dogs who need walking are a good gift from a good heavenly Father.

What are you thankful for?
