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.
It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of press.
It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.
It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.

A personal shout out to the Veterans I know:
Dan FitzGerald, Timothy FitzGerald, Charles Spicer, Sharon Spicer
Al Cilley, Lynn Reinke, Charlene Simser
I am grateful.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING FRIENDS!
It's been a year, hasn't it? It started off pretty well. DH and I and his parents went on a wonderful cruise to the Western Caribbean -- yup that was 2020 -- and when we returned home, the world changed pretty drastically.
Despite it all, I have things to be thankful for:
My husband, my three wildly different children, my fur babies, my two moms, my siblings, my nieces and nephews, for our business that keeps on keeping on, the ability to write and publish books, for my dearest friends (known to each other as the Cotton Patch Kids), for my writers group, for other authors and their books, for fan fiction, for music, for Perfectly Mint Tea, Benedict Cumberbatch, my online friends far and wide, my Dallas Stars and hockey in general...
Hope you have a lovely day tomorrow filled with delicious food, family and/or friends, and fun.
