Golden Gratitude - H is for Hoopla

H is for Hoopla. I use Hoopla through my library a lot to listen to audiobooks. I've also occasionally used it to watch some movies using the Hallmark+ bingepass. It's a great free resource for patrons and I'm so thankful all three libraries I'm a member of still use it. Each library has a different selection on Hoopla and there's also a monthly limit, so it helps to have the option to use it through all three libraries.

Your turn!

G is for grids. Sometimes it's the little things in life. I'm grateful for grids that are given to complete logic puzzles. One example is Murdle. I'm sure some of you out there can solve those puzzles without the grids, but they are so helpful to me and they make completing the puzzles so much more enjoyable.

F is for Friendsgiving. This is the friend version of Thanksgiving. I got together with some friends on Saturday and we had a Friendsgiving lunch. The food was okay, but the company was great!

E is for Everything Like the Bagel. I recently discovered a healthy brand of baked crackers that I love. It has minimal ingredients and it makes for a good crunchy snack (along with some form of protein). It comes in different flavors. My favorite flavor is "Everything Like the Bagel". It has all the spices you would find on an Everything Bagel, except it's on the crackers.

D is for daylight. Although we have fewer hours of daylight at this time of year, I appreciate the time we do have with it. Natural daylight is the best kind of light for me to work on puzzles and color in my coloring books.

C is for chocolate. I consume chocolate in various forms every day. I always add raw cacao power to my breakfast smoothies and I eat a few bite-sized pieces of dark chocolate just about daily.

Golden Gratitude - B is for Baltimore

Eeek. I skipped a day, so now I'm even farther behind. But that's okay because it's about the gratitude, not posting to perfection.

B is for Baltimore. Baltimore, Maryland holds a special place in my heart. I lived on campus in Baltimore during my college years and it was also the last place where I saw my best friend. I'm grateful it was such a happy day celebrating her birthday belatedly. My ties to Baltimore is the reason I'm a Baltimore Ravens  fan!
