Thanksgiving Grace





I don't need one particular day of the year to give thanks for all that I have in life.
I try to be thankful every day, and yes, sometimes it's hard
Like when friends and family get sick. Or when there's not enough money for bills.
But even if I'm in a weeping heap, I know how blessed I am just by being given another day to try to get it right. To make a difference even in some small way.

Here's to all of you who have made a huge difference in my life. I'm grateful to you all even though I may not say it (or visit) often enough.
I really love knowing you're there.

Really ♥

xoxo
Lo

  3. *BS*, you KNOW I feel exactly the same way. Life and Friends are Precious Gifts to be thankful for.
    We have both had a *roller coaster* year..... but... the lovely things far outweigh the sad ones.

    I am picturing you, basting the turkey... SH scans the horizons for Squirrels and Princess Bliss sits on her *Throne*...her nose inhaling the fragrance of roasting turkey! Hey, Bri will be watching the '49'ers" play the RAVENS! (See how savvy I am!)

    Love and Blessings to all 4,

    ♥ LS ♥

  14. You are so right, L. There are so many things to be grateful for every single day and we should never dwell on what we don't have. We should all appreciate each other more. Hugs to you, too, and I hope you had a happy holiday.
