Thankful Thursday (May 15, 2025): An Active and Creative Day

Hi everyone. Today is Thursday. I used to join in with (now angel) Brian’s Thankful Thursday occasionally a long time ago, but mostly pet bloggers joined in there. Recently, I discovered another Thankful Thursday blog hop. I’m joining in with both just because I can. πŸ™‚

Today I had a really productive day in both the physical activity department and the creativity department.

In the morning, I went for a walk on institution grounds. Then, in the afternoon, my staff and I rode the side-by-side bike to the next town, where another staff lives who is currently on leave for family-related reasons. I went there to bring her a polymer cay “(op)kikker” (frog).

The staff invited us in for coffee, which was lovely. She really appreciated my little gift, which in turn made me grateful.

Later, I went for another walk on grounds and, in the evening, I crafted a unicorn out of polymer clay. My staff asked whether it was for yet another staff member, but I think I’m keeping this one myself. 😊

The staff, who had been doing all my support from 1PM on, also asked me whether I want to ride the side-by-side bike again tomorrow. Well, of course! I want to go to the market!

I am intensely grateful for a productive day. Here are some things I especially appreciated about today:


  • Coffee at the staff’s house.

  • Minimal pain even though I was quite physically active.

  • Being able to create again (I’ve been exceptionally crafty lately).

  • Excitement for tomorrow’s visit to the market.

  • And finally, the fact that I figured out how to use emojis on the computer! 🀣

  1. Hope you have a nice ride to the market today! Glad you are being creative again… reminds me I have a birthday card I should go make. How nice that you can use emojis now… curious, does your reading program “translate” emojis used in comments? I have always wondered about that.

    1. Thanks for your nice comment. Yes, I did enjoy the visit to the market. And re emojis, on my iPhone, they do get spoken and displayed in Braille too. On PC, they only get spoken, although I’m pretty sure there should be a way to display them in Braille too.

  3. Woohoo! The satisfaction of getting a lot done in a day! I love that you had time to craft again – very cute, the little froggie! and that the work of your hands could bring joy to someone.
