Giving Thanks...

I saw sign that said, "When we think, we thank." So now that I'm on break from school, all the laundry is done for our trip, my house is somewhat picked up, and my daughter went to get donuts with her Daddy, I CAN THINK ....therefore thank. :)


So here goes...
Thanks to God - who is so good, and a new church family who help me know Him more.
Thanks to my husband who truly is a partner, and who always seeks out the good in people.
Thanks to my four-year-old daughter who is the best thing I've ever done!
Thanks to my supportive and loving family that know me inside and out - and love me anyway!
Thanks to sweet, thoughtful friends that get me through each week, and make me want to be a better person.
Thanks to our soldiers for their sacrifice and for freedom.
Thanks to kids who are innocent, funny, and who remind me to keep things simple because "time" is all they really want.

And thanks for seasons, like FALL, where we give thanks for...


...rakes and leaves


...soft winds and discovery


...jumping and playing


...the sounds of laughter
...and for cameras that capture these special moments!



Happy Thanksgiving!
Many, many, blessings and love to you all!
