Happy Thanksgiving!

  
Thanksgiving is a very special time of year! It's a great time to stop and reflect upon the things in life that we've been given.
I have deep gratitude, thankfulness, and appreciation in my heart today towards God, for blessing me so abundantly in this life.
I count as my greatest blessings... Family and Freinds! I am also thankful for all of you, my new blogging friends! I am thankful for your friendship and the inspiration you are to me. It has been fun getting to know you!

I love this quote from Melody Beattie.....

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."

I hope that you all will be surrounded by those you love today, wether it be family or friends, and pause for a moment to express gratitude for all of your many blessings.

There are so many reasons in life to be thankful. Let us all find joy in focusing on what we have, where we are, and how we can change the hearts of so many with the love we share.

A Wonderful Thanksgiving  to all....and to those of you not celebrating Thanksgiving.....
Wishes for a Happy Day!

Love that quote and put it (with acknowledgment to Melody Beattie) on my Facebook page just now! May your day be truly blessed. I'm glad Kim got you started on blogging. (She better watch out as you are surpassing her in blogging, I think!!! LOL) I guess that's the sign of a good teacher...when the student can so quickly excel.

I love that quote. I copied and pasted it into a word document, so I could put it up in the kitchen window in my house! I figure it might help attitudes about doing the dishes! I'll let you know if it works. I appreciate your example to me of always being so giving and I'm grateful for your friendship. Thanks for sharing with me. Hugs.
