Friday, 16, November, 2013, Houses

Today I'm grateful for my house!

 

 

   Things houses do:

* They are shelter from heat, cold, wind, snow, rain, sleet, and hail 

* They are meeting places where families can get together.

 

        The reason I'm grateful for houses today is because they serve as meeting places for families. I'm grateful for this because every Thanksgiving my whole family comes to my parents' house and we have our Thanksgiving dinner. Without a house we would not be able to get together and do that. I'm very grateful for houses.

* They bring joy

        The reason I'm grateful for rainbows today is becuse they bring joy. Have you ever looked at a rainbow and just felt happy? Well that's what happened to me today. I saw a beautiful rainbow and I was happy the rest of the day. I'm so grateful for rainbows!

Wednesday, 14, November, 2013, Cameras

                              Today I'm grateful for cameras!

                                

   Things cameras do:

* They make entertainment
* They capture memories
* They can be jobs

        The reason I'm grateful for cameras today is because of two things, one, they capture memories, and two, they make entertainment. I combined these two things to make an entertaining slideshow of my two birds. It was fun to make and it has a lot of memories in it. I'll post a link to it as soon as I can, but I'm very grateful for cameras.

Tuesday, 13, November, 2013, Movies

                               Today I'm grateful for movies!

  
                        

        Things movies do:
   They entertain people
   They are nice to have after working or school
   Some are educational

        The reason I'm grateful for movies is they entertained me today. I was very, very, very, VERY, very bored today. hen when I watched a movie I had my share of entertainment for the day and I'm feeling very good now.

Monday, 12, November, 2013, Cookies

                                Today I'm grateful for cookies!

                 

        Things cookies do:
   They keep kids happy
   They keep people happy
   They're a nice snack to have
   
          The reason I'm grateful for cookies today is actually NONE of these reasons. The reason I did not list it is because hardly anyone uses cookies this way. I was part of a fundraising project and I did a bake sale to earn money. Without cookies I wouldn't have been able to help out in the project. Cookies helped improve lives for people because I used them this way.

        If you would like to see or even help out with the project that I did, go to this website.

Sunday, 11, November, 2013, My N64

                                Today I'm grateful for my N640!

               

   Things my N64 does:
* It entertains me
* It might help me make a difference by convincing Nintendo to bring N64 back

        The reason I'm grateful for my N64 today is because of the first reason I mentioned, it entertains me. This post will be VERY close to the post I made about my Wii and some what close to the post on my DS. Because all it really does is entertain me.... and entertain me... and.... Well you know the rest! But just because it mainly only entertains me, doesn't mean I'm not very grateful for it. I'm SUPER grateful for my N64.

                             Today I'm grateful for pencils!

                      

        Pencils are wonderful!

    Things pencils do:
* They help us record what happens in our day
* They help us remember things like recipes and to go to the store
* They can be used for art
* They're used for education

        The reason that I'm grateful for pencils today is that they are used for art. I absolutely love to draw and without pencils I wouldn't be able to. I'm so glad that I have pencils so I can do what I love!

Friday, 9, November, 2013, Rain

                                Today I'm grateful for the rain!

             

        Rain is COOL!

   Things rain does:
* Waters plants 
* Gives us our water supply
* It's beautiful
* And it entertains kids!

        A specific reason that I'm grateful for rain is how beautiful it is. Just the way it glitters on the plants and makes such a soothing sound when it falls on my roof. I absolutely love it when it rains!

FYI: I'm trying out different styles of writing what I'm grateful for to make it take up a little less time. I might switch back to long passages eventually though.

                                  Today I'm grateful for trees!
            

        Trees are wonderful! When you actually THINK about what trees do for you it's really amazing! Think about it... When you go outside on a sunny day and sit in the shade reading a good book and just enjoying yourself, well I'm guessing the shade is most likely from a tree, which makes the first reason that trees are great is, shade. Let's think again... You're taking a nice relaxing walk on a trail through the forest and you're enjoying the sounds of the animals and the birds, you're also not over-heating because the whole trail is shaded, well once again you owe this to trees, one they make the forest, two they make it possible for animals to live there, and three again the shade would not be there without the trees. So now we've counted quite a few things that trees do for us, but now I want to go over the SUPER reason. Of course you can live without a forest nearby or shade, but if there was no trees there wouldn't be enough oxygen to live off in the air! Now that's crazy! So hopefully next time you sit under your favorite tree or go and take a walk in the forest, you think of how special trees really are.
