Lots of things to be thankful for-

Thanks to Corrie and Elizabeth for inspiring me to do this.

Fall is here- The weather is absolutely fabulous right now. Cool at night, warmer during the day.... The retail stores have placed their Christmas merchandise on the floors. Radio stations are playing Christmas music ALREADY. So I ponder the thought.... Whatever happened to Thanksgiving???

So I ask myself, what am I thankful for? A lot of things-

To my parents, for giving the foundation to have the good life I have... I know now as parents how much they sacrificed for us so that we could have and do the things we wanted to do, unselfishly. Another one of those, I wish I had known sooner.

To my husband for making me the woman/mom I am today. You work hard every day so that we can have the life we have. Thank you darling. Nothing makes me happier than to see the look on the kids faces every night when you come home from work. No matter how tired you are or how bad of a day you might have had, you have energy to play with the kids and give me a hug.

To my kids, giving me purpose in my life. I can't believe how quickly they have come to the ages they are. It really has gone by so fast. I want to pause the clock and keep you these ages as long as I can... but... I would somehow find a way for you to get along better... but you are siblings.

To my girlfriends, for helping me keep my sanity. I don't want to put names because I have a lot of friends who are special to me.

So I ask you all, what are you thankful for? I want you to tell those individuals that have made a difference in your life THANK YOU.

What are you thanksgiving plans? We're having family over on Thanksgiving Day. I expect there will be 20-25 people here!
