Wednesday November 27, 2013.....

     So thankful it is a holiday weekend.  Also thankful I have a four day weekend ahead of me.   During the month of November it easy to think of things that you are thankful for and I have been posting that on social networking sites as well as here, but I find that the list of things I'm thankful for, far out weigh the list of things that are wrong in my life.  The wrong things may be big right now, but may not necessarily be big tomorrow.
      Looking at things a little better has made me far less stressed than I used to be and helped my mind not be so muddled with things that may or may not happen.  I realize you can't bury your head and just think all is well, but at the same time if I just stay positive and keep thinking of the things that are good and right, it's easier to smile and look forward to tomorrow.
       I am thankful I get my kids for Thanksgiving dinner and I'm thankful I get to host the dinner at my house with my mom and brother coming to visit, I don't get many visitors so that is nice.   I am thankful we have food to eat and a dry warm place to be together.   I am thankful for my family and friends, and for everyone that puts up with me and my many moods. I am thankful for social networking sites that help me stay close to all my friends and family and I'm thankful for my computer that allows me to live so much easier.
       I am thankful for the long fall and the dry roads, I am thankful for my job and my paychecks.   I am thankful for my car even though it's having a time right now, I am thankful for my nieces and nephews and the happiness they bring me as well.  I am thankful for so much that none if it comes to me in order, like I'm thankful for my sight, hearing, and speech, and also for my health , as good as it is right now.  I am thankful for everything I have seen and done in my life, and I am thankful that I can pray whenever I feel the need.
       I am thankful for long hot summers, blue skies and sunshine.   I am thankful for flowers and summer and spring and fall even though they are not long enough.  I am thankful for living in such a beautiful state and being able to enjoy it's beauty, hiking , camping and just driving through.  I am thankful for being born in the freedom of the United States and appreciate every soldier who has fought to keep it so.
       I can go on, and on.. but I really need to get something done around this house, to host a Thanksgiving dinner for my family.   Be Thankful and safe to you all... Happy Thanksgiving eve.....
