HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Image courtesy of IMGBIN.
I have so much to be thankful for. And I've taken to speaking my gratitude out loud each and every morning on my way to work and on Sundays on my way to pick up groceries.
I have a whole list of people and things that I speak my gratitude for.
And today, we'll be visiting with DH's family, enjoying good company and good food.
May your day be filled with the same.
See you Monday.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
My little Christmas will be missing a very important component, but he'll be in our thoughts for sure.
Hope you're having a lovely day--whatever that means for you.

Blessings...
Despite some of the crap that's rained down on me/us over the last month or so, there have also been some blessings.
While I'm not thrilled with having to buy (well, lease) a new car, I can't deny that having one isn't also a treat and blessing--nothing's wrong with it, it drives like a dream, and it has several pretty cool bells and whistles.
This past Saturday was my writers group meeting. There was no program, we just had a great time visiting, playing a game, and exchanging tacky/ugly ornaments.
(Can you find me?)
This group of ladies and one gentleman are some of my favorite people and I'm always blessed to spend several hours in their presence each month.
I've received and taken a handful of proofreading jobs, got the next book in book series I'm maintaining the series bible for, as well as updating a website...so I've got this influx of cash in order to pay for the copy/content edits and book covers for my series of books I'm working on publishing next June.
I discussed my expenses with DH several month ago and he said he'd get me the money (probably out of the profit of selling fireworks this New Years season), but you know what--it feels really nice and is definitely satisfying to be able to be as self-funding as possible. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this blessing means that modest success (at least) is in store for these books once they're out in the world.
And one last blessing to come...having all my babies home for a very short time--Sonshine will more than likely be granted leave to come for a ten-day visit.
Blessings on all of y'all as well.

Counting my blessings...
The other day I was in a right funk. Very pissed off about my troubles and jealous of pretty much everybody I know. Kind of ironic considering Thanksgiving was just last week. And just last Wednesday I even posted all the things I'm thankful for. And I am still thankful for all of them, but you know, sometimes we have bad days.
So today I needed a bit of a kick in the pants and decided to count a few blessings.
1) I have a husband and children who love me and whom I love.
2) I have family who loves me and whom I love.
3) My Brown Eyed Girl just celebrated three years clean.
4) I have a roof over my head and food to eat.
5) I have friends who care about me and whom I care about in return.
6) I can read books for free if I know where to look. (and I do)
7) Me and mine are relatively healthy. We're not suffering chronic conditions or illnesses.
8) I live in one of the more economically sound states of the Union. (Well, it is for now. I know it can change.)
9) I've had the opportunity to travel and/or live not only around the US of A, but to a couple of foreign countries as well. (Denmark and England)
While the list seems short, these nine things encompass a lot of blessings.
What about you? Is there something I didn't mention that you are especially blessed with??
