Redheaded Jill

Because I don’t particularly enjoy my birthday and because September is my birth month I am going to combat the birthday blues with a month of thankfulness.

I do thankful posts on my personal social media every night. I make a thankfulness list. But starting today I am going to have (or attempt to have) a post a day about something I am thankful for.

So today, September 1, 2025. Today I am thankful for my family.

I have not always appreciated them, and I have not always wanted to live near them, but when my adventures came to a grinding halt and I realized Texas was not the romantic dream I had imagined it to be I was able to come home.

They help me with everything. They help me physically, they help me financially ( whether that be every day generosity or employing me in multiple ways), they help me mentally and spiritually. When people talk about community and how things used to be they are talking about my family. We help one another and it is the best.

I don’t know how people function without their mom, dad, siblings, grandparents, nieces and nephews… Without them my life would be exceptionally lonely.

Thank you, God, for my family.
