This year, I have been in the struggle of my life, and yet I have so many more things to be thankful for. I realize that every minute of every day counts, that we should live only for this moment, because this monent is your life. And I realize that NO ONE knows when they are going to die, and that in itself is such a blessing and a reason to be very thankful. Here are my memories of Thanksgiving this year, a very unexpected and special one. We were invited to be with our family and they set up this tree of branches. Everyone got a colorful paper leaf to write on it what they are thankful for. After we ate, the leaves were taken down and read by Anne Marie and her cousin. We tried to guess who had written each one. Anne Marie made these turkey place markers, which look just a bit like a peacock. Maybe it is a Peaturk! A day of thanks, food, and family, Amen!
I am so glad to be back to blogging, but I will not be able to post and visit every day. Perhaps once or twice a week. Another thing I am so very thankful for, my blog followers, many who have become very good friends! You are a real blessing to me!!!!!!
