November 24th

So we have reached the end of my "lens of gratitude" as far as the blog goes. However, I hope to continue picking out something each day that I am thankful for--having a thankful attitude throughout daily life is a wonderful practice. I have lots to be thankful for, and that shouldn't be forgotten once the calendars change over to December. This evening at Thanksgiving dinner no. 2 (I have consumed far beyond the American average of 4500 calories), Granddaddy summed it all up as he asked the blessing, saying, we thank you for a day to set everything else aside and be thankful. We said amen. And it was perfect. So my thank you for today: a season where we remember to be thankful. A time where we set aside everything except food and family and take the time to count our many, many blessings.
