Happy Thankgiving...

Well it's here... Thanksgiving... and the question to be asked this year is...

What are you doing for Thanksgiving?

Are you sleeping outside in line waiting for a store to open so you can get the best deals... or... are you holding back, just a little, and gobbling down your food so fast you can't enjoy it to get to the store of choice doors opening... or... are you spending time with family and friends and enjoying the day... and aren't you wondering, just a little bit, what happened to this holiday of giving thanks....

Well, here in my little house?... I'm looking at my family... at my home... at my little part-time job... at all the blessings I've been given this past year... feeling blessed by little things taken for granted.

If you've followed my blog at all... you'll know I haven't blogged like I use to this last year... and when I do, it's been something quick... but the truth is... the reason is... I've had a hard year... so many ups and downs... so many things going on in my life... I haven't had the energy to put much into anything other than caring for what's most important...

I'm not going to go into everything that's been going on this last year... but I will tell you if it hadn't been for Lord, my prayers and those of others... what I'm thankful for would be much different...

So, today instead of passing by this holiday with shopping and meaningless things that don't last... I'm going to make memories and enjoy every moment of the day... I'm going to remember Thanksgivings past with those I miss... and enjoy... enjoy every family member... enjoy every giggle... enjoy every football cheer... enjoy every board game... enjoy every bite of thanksgiving dinner... down to the very last bite of pumpkin harvest pie...

I'm going take in the blessings that surround me... and be thankful...

I hope you're surrounded by blessings to be thankful for today and always... Happy Thanksgiving...
