I am thankful for my family and friends.
I am thankful for getting through this tough year thus far.
I am thankful for the gifts yet to come.
Happy Thanksgiving!
It has been hard for me to get into the holiday season. In my area, the weather has not been the norm. Just last week it was ranging in the 60s. My city has the Christmas power pole decorations up already — two weeks ago! It’s just now Thanksgiving! At least this week has been more like November. Colder temps. Rainy days. It rained all day today. I was really thankful for all that mild weather we were having. I could really go for a California Christmas. I’m not ready for snow and below zero temps just yet.
I didn’t need Thanksgiving to be thankful for all the gifts we have been given this year — making it one day at a time. The past couple of years have been tough for us. Just like the rest of the world, getting those bills paid at times is stressful. But you find a way to get it done and you make it through. I have been telling myself that God is giving us a lesson in all of this. When things are good, they are good. When they get too good, here comes a setback for that wake-up call. We will keep on keepin’ on!
To top off our Thanksgiving Day, as my girls and I were watching Elf (to get into the Christmas spirit), that rain turned into snow. My girls got on their coats, gloves, and boots as fast as they could to go meet the falling snow. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…
