HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Well, our holiday season is upon us! I'm sure, like myself, you have been caught up already in the hustle and bustle of the season. There is one difference for me this year! I have actually found "inside me" the ability to truly appreciate the season and what it all stands for. I think alot of that comes from the fact that I have had the opportunity to be away from a stressful environment that had stripped me of any and all appreciation for anything I ever had. I know, it's sad to allow something such as a job to strip you of the ability to truly live! I did, but not anymore! For 6 weeks I have been away from that place and in these 6 weeks I have learned to appreciate things that I should have been appreciating for the past 10/12 years! I have always counted my blessings, but with stress and turmoil in your life, it can be shadowed! Thank you God for opening my eyes before it was impossible to have them opened!

Thanksgiving is here......answer this question right this moment, name 10 things you are thankful for!!!! Do not wait, do it now! 1.I am thankful for a God who loves me unconditionally, 2.my entire family, 3. I am thankful that I am a Wife to Eddie and a Mom to Cade (whom I think are wonderful). 4. I am thankful for wonderful friends,5. a beautiful home, 6. a lovely little town to live in, 7. a church to worship
8. I am thankful for the wonderful relationship (friendship) I have with my Mother. 9. I am thankful to be 43 years old and still able to visit and spend time with my 87 year old Grandmother. 10. I am thankful that God gives me the ability to wake up each day with a whole new appreciation for the life He has given me! There are many more things, but those are 10....what are yours? Be blessed, be thankful and tell those around you all that you are thankful for! Until Later!!
