Grateful

Norman Rockwell

Today in the States it is Thanksgiving.

A day for reflection.

A time for gratitude.

Some of the things I am grateful for:

my sweet husband

my healthy and happy children

a healthy body

a healthy mind

love-filled home

Jesus Christ

my beliefs

extended family

warmth

comfort

a hard-working provider

getting to stay at home with my kids

peace of the scriptures

functioning cars

roof over our heads

clothes on our backs

food in our bellies

shoes on our feet

friends

my children's friends

hugs

kisses

hand-holding

talents

skills

education

and

you...

...just to name a few things.

I am truly grateful for everything I have, even the things I didn't ask for or 

didn't think I needed. I am thankful for it all...or at least I try to be.

May this day be filled with Thanksgiving and love. Whether you celebrate

this Thanksgiving holiday or not.

Happy Thanksgiving.
