Giving Thanks~

I am thankful this holiday season. I am thankful that I was able to cook for my family and all were together for Thanksgiving. Brighter this year than last. I had just been diagnosed and in the beginning stages of chemo last year at this time.
My neighbors came by to tell us how thankful they are that we have become friends. My husband embraced me and told me how thankful he is to have me in his life. My daughter kissed me and told me how much she appreciated the meal and get together we had. I fed my baby granddaughter mashed potato's and watched her crawl and play, I kissed and rubbed the belly of my daughter and whispered to our new grandson that will be gracing our world in Feb. I hugged and interacted with my grandchildren and in-laws, I kissed my son and enjoyed casual conversation. I put out Christmas lights and built a crackling fire. I sent out invitations to our annual Christmas party. I curled on the couch under my blanket of love and snuggled with the dogs. I put clean sheets on the bed.I fed the dogs left over turkey and ham. I embraced the thoughts of my family who live away. I said a little prayer for my stepson who is in Marine basic training. So many things to be thankful for this special day. And re-inforcing that it is the little things in life that hold the most meaning. Life is good. Happy Thanksgiving~
