Just wanted to take a minute and let everyone know some of the things I am thankful for. I don't like the holiday of Thanksgiving because too many people just jump off into it without knowing correct history but then again it may be the only time of year they get to see their loved ones together at a table!

I am thankful first for the love of the Father, without Him all would be meaningless; I am thankful for getting custody of my daughter--she can be a handful but she's my heart! I am thankful for the man in my life, Scott and his family--they add so much to my life and they probably don't even know it! I'm thankful for my online family--you guys listen when I vent, advise when I'm stressing and pray for me most of all! There is no way to thank you properly but THANKS anyway! I'm also thankful for the cold I have--it could be worse by far--for the ability to get out of bed by myself and use the bathroom by myself and to be able to bounce back with the prayers of my friends!

Now I hope each of you will take a minute on Thanksgiving and reflect upon your lives. Are you showing how you are thankful or are you stuck in negativity? Life is as dramatic as you want to make it and you can be thankful for the stessors you have because they are what make you grow! Here's to another year and showing others around us how to truly be Thankful!

Think back to when we were growing up. No computers except in business, no microwaves, not a thought of cable, no playstations or x-box or wii, no where were these to be found. (OH MY I'M really telling my age now!)

Fresh air, jump ropes, football, basketball, washing cars, being back on the porch when the streetlight turned on, fishing, G.I. Joe, Barbie. Classic movies in black and white, Pillow Talk, Gentlemen Prefer Blonds, The King and I, James Bond--with Sean Connery, and the Rat Pack!
