As I stop and think, many things pop into my head... I am Thankful for those close by whom I see every day and share life with. I am so very Thankful for Laszlo and the Joy that he brings! For my man - I love him! For my bff...she's always full of song (and together her and Kels can make some pretty good tunes :)...for her hugs and loves on me and Laz. I'm Thankful for the team I serve with and each one of their strengths in life that they give. For our 6 little boys...how full of life they are! For this country and it's lovely countryside. I am Thankful for the amazing autumn colors I see in the changing and fallen leaves, the sunrises and sunsets. For my family. For all the many memories of Thanksgivings past with grandparents, cousins, aunts & uncles, mom and dad and sisters. Today I miss those a lot and my family more then I thought I would...But I'm thankful we can bake together...they are making pies and I have sweet potatoes on the stove :) I'm thankful for growing up and the friendships I now have with my sisters. I'm Thankful for my Dad and Mom and for all time and energy they put into raising us girls (I am realizing more and more the work it is :) I'm Thankful for the daily provisions and support I have in life and living here. I'm Thankful for love. And, I think Laz would agree... We are Thankful for little Lucy Lou... our new black nosed kitten. Tonight as the cold rolls in I am thankful for a warm place to sleep!
