Happy Thanksgiving! Tomorrow my family will come together and spend the day eating, watching football, maybe an old movie and just spend quality time! What a blessing. I talk so often in my blogs about unexpected blessings. They happen all the time...sometimes we don't even realize when they take place. There are always going to be those around you who will try and tear down any hopes or good feelings you may have....it's up to you if you allow them to be successful or not!! I know for a fact that often times we feel we don't have that "fight" left in us any longer but then, somewhere deep within, we stand tall and look around us at all the good we have in our lives and we ""make it through"" the rough time.......there's your blessing!! What?? Where?? you might be asking.......your blessing is that you MADE IT THROUGH and you are NOT STILL THERE!!! I have realized that blessing many times. As I sit here at my desk at the office and I feel the stress and strain of a typical day, I look at the picture frames that surround me and stare into the blue eyes of the cutest little redheaded fellow I know....and there is my blessing!!! A smile takes over and I have made it, yet again, THROUGH another rough patch!

So, what are your blessings? Where do you find them? I get a blessing out of writing this blog and knowing there are a few that actually read it and I hope that what I write may put a smile on someones face....or at least a smile in their heart knowing that someone out there does understand.

So, as tomorrow comes and you gather with whomever it is you gather with, enjoy each moment that is given and eat all that you want........remember, the diets don't have to start until NEW YEARS!! (*wink*)~ Until later
