BLESSINGS

Thanksgiving is a day to be thankful for what you have and grateful to have that much. When you think back to the Pilgrims and all they had to contend with I imagine we all have something to be grateful for no matter how little it is.

1. I am thankful to have food to eat, a warm bed and transportation.
2. I am thankful to have a job even though it may end because I have gained more work experience and met some wonderful people from different parts of the country and the world.
3. I am thankful to be alive and not have to live in a war torn country with bombs and mortar fire going off all around me day and night.
4. I am thankful to be able to pick and choose the places I want to be without boundaries.
5. I am thankful to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
6. And I am thankful to the veterans in the past and the troops now serving to maintain that freedom for me and the people in my life.
7. I am so thankful to not be alone this holiday and be able to spend this day wih people who love me.
What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving Day? Thank the lord for your blessings and thank a vet for his service today.

About Me

My photo
MI, United States
I am an Aries born on April 1st. College educated and a Marine veteran of the Viet Nam era. Nothing spectacular to say about my life other than I have survived this long because I have a wicked sense of humor that has gotten me through hard times along with the fact that I am a strong woman. I don't give up easily. I love to cross stitch as you can see by some of my work displayed here. Reading is a favorite past time. I enjoy traveling and exploring out of the way places. Most of all I enjoy spending time with my 2 favorite boys Zander who is 5 and his brother Jr. who is 2. They are intelligent, funny and loving. And now they have a new baby sister named Izabella who, I'm sure, will educated them in the art of getting along with girls. If I had a chance to do my life over I wouldn't because I would miss out on having these 3 grandchildren to love. I hope that I can be a part of their lives for many more years to come. I plan on living life to the fullest means possible and hope I can stay healthy enough to do some of the things that I want to.
