| I am thankful that God loves ME ---just as I am! |
This is THANKSGIVING WEEK here in our country. I love this week ---and enjoy thinking about all of the blessings I have in my life. We ALL have so much to be thankful for --but sometimes we allow the negative thoughts to consume us! I try not to do that ---and the month of November is a perfect month to reflect back on our many blessings.
I had such a good time this week going through my blog posts, my pictures, and my Facebook posts ---thinking about some of the trillions of things I am thankful for... The hardest thing was to limit this post to my usual 16 photos (which to some people is still too long).... Oh Well---here goes!!!!! Hope you enjoy reading about some of my blessings and thanksgivings.... I know you can add many of your own!!!

Well----if you count the pictures (first and last one are not mine), you will see that I ended up with 17 this time.... I just didn't know which one not to include.... I am so truly blessed in so many ways! In fact, I think we are ALL blessed when we think about our lives... YES---we have all had some hard times --but the good ones definitely outweigh the bad ones!
I would love to read a blog post from YOU similar to this one listing some of the things you are thankful for.... That would be awesome!
Hope each of you have a blessed week --and a Happy Thanksgiving to ALL. We have big plans involving family --so I won't be around much this next week and maybe next...
Hugs,
