Happy Thanksgiving!

 

2008 Has Been Great!

 

Every year when Thanksgiving rolls around I do a lot of reflection over the past year as to what I have to be “Thankful” for over the course of the past twelve months.

Some years have been harder than others to find a sense of gratefulness, but this year was a good year.

I am thankful that my son is successfully settled in law school.

I am thankful that I have my little Bella Luna, (my one year old boxer puppy), in my life, she brings me such joy and amusement.

I am thankful for a secure family situation with my new husband and my two sons.

I am thankful for oil prices dropping (lol).

I am thankful for my home and the ability to have done some preliminary remodeling this year.

I am thankful that my mother is still alive and in fairly good health at the age of eighty.

I am thankful that I found my long-lost relatives and solved a 78 year old family mystery.

I am thankful that my new family embraces me as I do them and that I am learning so much about an entirely different culture that I had known very little about (Filipino).

I am thankful that I am successfully launching a newly expanded writing career.

I am thankful that after living here for twelve years I was finally able to fence in my yard, build a pond in my garden and erect a gazebo and am looking forward to enjoying it again next summer.

I am thankful that I was able to experience one more year of life and learn from it and hope to do so again next year.

 

Brightest Blessings this Thanksgiving

to you and yours

and I sincerely hope that you are able to find many

things to be thankful for in your own life!
