I began this tradition on this blog years ago where I would list 5 things I’m thankful for during that particular year. I’ve been looking forward to the break over Thanksgiving that I completely forgot it’s the time of the year to give thanks. I wish my blogging friends in the US a Happy Thanksgiving and even if you’re in an area in the world where you don’t observe Thanksgiving, there’s always time to give thanks, even to the little things in life.

It’s Thanksgiving this week in the U.S. and for as long as I’ve had this blog, I’ve always done a “Things I’m thankful for…” post but to be completely frank, if it wasn’t for this week’s #SundayStills, I just about completely forgot. Of course, I know I have a shortened work week but that’s about it. It was a chaotic week last week with road trip planning and a more chaotic weekend. I won’t go into detail in this post. It would ruin the tone.

It’s been a while since I’ve checked my all-time stats. The image above was snipped on January 1, 2021 and I was amazed to see how many countries I have traveled through this blog since 2013. I feel surprised and humble that you all have decided to check out this blog and follow me even though I write about the most ridiculous things sometimes.
I did not even imagine anyone was going to read what I write when I started this blog and I certainly did not think of getting an official domain. If you haven’t noticed, the blog URL is now https://thisisanotherstory.com/. I decided to take the plunge and get a domain name a few months ago.
Before I return to my Monday work, I know I probably don’t say this enough, THANK YOU FOR VISITING.
2020, what a year, right? So many things happened this year – pandemic, earthquakes, on-and-off mask mandates, wind storms, social gathering restrictions… but even in this weird pandemic universe we’re living in where Mondays and Fridays are just another day, giving thanks is still an everyday-must and a definite-must on Thanksgiving.
Here are my 5 major thanks for 2020:
Last but not least, I want to thank all the readers of this blogs who followed me through the years. Even though I’ve been away for most of 2020, some of my long-time readers would occasionally comment to check up on me. I am thankful for the thoughtfulness and to have a great bunch of friends in this ever changing blogging universe.
So we’re now 5 months into 2020 and I think you’ll agree with me when I say this, “2020 sucks!”

Almost 3 years ago, I moved into my current home. There were raised beds in the backyard and the front yard was incredibly bare except for a Japanese Maple tree which my mom has threatened to cut it down many times since and I have to keep reminding her that this is my house, not hers.
2 years ago, I started creating my garden. I planted 2 cherry trees, 2 plum trees, 3 strawberry plants, and 6 dahlia bulbs hoping to stop my neighbors’ weeds from invading my yard.

I spent this Christmas Eve sitting in my car in a near-empty mall parking lot, calling the only person that would understand my situation while listening to the rain peter-patter on the roof of my car. Continue reading “The Meaning of Christmas” →

Here is my thought for this Monday:
Be patient, when it seems things are not going right and may never be right again. Accept that what is yours will come to you in the right way at just the right moment – Lyanla Vanzant
This week, I am grateful for getting the chance to take a nice shower without any interruptions in the warm water. Continue reading “Sunday Gratitude” →
