Thanksgiving Week!!

Yes, time must truly go by when you are having fun!! Well, I woke up this morning early with giving thanks on my mind. So....Please allow me and feel free to stop reading at any moment.
I am thankful for a clearer relationship to my Creator than I have had in 53 years. I am thankful for the 34 years I have had with Rick and for the fact that we are in love and learning each day we are together. I am thankful for my 3 sons, 3 daughters, and 3 grandchildren. I am NOT very thankful that they live so far away, especially because my grands went with them! But I AM thankful that their parents are still together, love eachother and have raised AMAZING children! I am thankful that each one of my family members are healthy of body if not of mind, although I think most of them are that too. I am thankful, yes boys thankful, for the job your father has only because it affords us to be able to see you and spend $$ on all our children and grands, even though as adults you are not so willing to let us help. Yes, I woke up thankful this morning for many things, a few of which are here....love, relationships, knowledge, health, children, happiness, home and yes even the "G" word. So, in that vein, I say "thank you" to all for allowing us a part in your lives, a closeness we cherish, a love shared, a happiness you give to us in several dimensions, and the welcome we always receive from you.

Just think...much of what you are thankful for is because of YOU. You are kind of like "the sponsor of the show". You know, when any channel broadcasts a show w/o commercials and it's "brought to you by...". The "brought to you by" in this case is MOM. If not for your blood, sweat and tears, who knows where at least the 3 of us would be. So THANK YOU for being the sponsor of OUR show.
