Good morning! I was thinking last night, as I finalized my Thanksgiving menu, of all the wonderful things in my life that I am thankful and grateful for and I made a small list.

I am grateful for:
- My life. This year I had a health scare and I can tell you that I view things differently and appreciate life so much more.
- My husband who is my best friend, confidant, and rock. After 18 years we are still happiest when spending time with one another.
- My faithful companion who loves me no matter what and always greets me with a wagging tail and unbridled enthusiasm whether I have been gone 5 minutes or 5 days.
- My family. There are no words for how blessed I am to have two sisters, one brother, my parents and step-parents, two step-children and wonderful in-laws who support me, comfort me, cheer me on, and love me no matter what.
- My friends. My life is richer for having you in it.
- My blog. It has opened a door to another world. I am constantly amazed by the people I have "met", and the education I receive on a daily basis from reading your blogs. Everyday is like Christmas because there is always a book, a movie, a cause, a culinary or travel adventure and more to be shared.

Although I could go on and on these are the people and things I am most grateful for. What about you? What are you grateful for?
I hope you have a wonderful day!
If you need a little chocolate pick me up come over to Once Upon a Chocolate Life and try some Gingerbread Cocoa.




I think I'm most grateful that I get to wake up each day and enjoy the things you mentioned above. Taking life one day at a time and enjoying it to its fullest. This is a beautiful post Elizabeth and I hope you enjoy your holiday season!

ReplyDeleteI am grateful for good health and my family. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because it doesn't revolve around commercialism. The point is to be THANKFUL and be with your loved ones :) Christmas gets so spendy and it's all about indulgence.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Thanksgiving!
