What are you Thankful for? With Thanksgiving upon us what makes you sit back and say Thank You? I am thankful to some friends who helped to compile this list.

  • I am thankful for my family and the ability to spend time with them over the next few days
  • I am thankful for having “enough”
  • I am thankful for a roof over my head, food in the cupboard, clothes to wear. It’s more than many have and I don’t take it for granted for one minute
  • I am thankful I live in a free country. I am thankful for friends (real and “virtual”)
  • I am thankful that I am alive
  • I am thankful i have a full time job
  • I am thankful for freedom and safety
  • I am thankful for my life
  • I am thankful for the good times
  • I am thankful for the bad times
  • I am thankful for my business
  • I am thankful for my friends
  • I am thankful for so many other things, but most of all, the gift that God gave us his son, who died on the cross for an undeserving person such as I. I am thankful for Heaven

I am very thankful for all the blessings God has bestowed on me and all the ways he has worked in my life the past few months preparing me for this journey He has in store for me.

A Thanksgiving Test - a different perspective on what we should truly be thankful for:

If you have your health and you have no meaning in your life, no hope, no family, no passion, no ideals, no patriotism, no virtue you have nothing. Health is not even in the top 10 of things to be thankful for.

Doing what you ought to do does not always make you as happy as doing what you want to do. But the point of life is to do what you ought to do,…

Happy Thanksgiving,
Lanel

So, I decided to make my own Christmas cards this year. I did it two years ago but didn’t get them sent out until last Christmas. So, this year I decided to start early. I found a card I liked online (http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/) and made some little changes to make it mine. They are four layers, lavender and silver. I think it looks really nice. But, then I started making them. OMG, it’s taking longer than I expected. It’s a good thing I started in September. LOL I just hope people appreciate the work. I’m not doing them to impress people, but since I’m putting all this work into them I just hope they are liked.

I made a couple other things today, also. J I made a gift box type thing with ladybugs stamped on it. I think it turned out kind of cute. It seems to me that something else would complete it, but I’m not sure what that something would be. It looks OK as it is, though. Then I made a fun Christmas card. I copied this one from someone else on the website, too. This one is really cute. I’m going to take it with me to church tomorrow to show Wendy. I think she’ll like it. I’ll have to try to remember.

So, it’s Saturday. I was going to pack some stuff today. The truck leaves in 20 days and I haven’t even started my room. I still really need to sort through the rest of the stuff in my storage unit. I need to get some more boxes and see if someone, maybe Tami, can come and sit with me while I sort…it’s so stinkin’ boring doing it alone. L

Well, soups on. Literally. I’m making chicken soup for dinner and baking some bread. Should be yummy. The weather’s so crazy it’s a good day for soup. Yesterday was hot, like 90’s hot. Today it’s kind of chilly. Good soup weather, chilly.

Till later.
