...I realize how truly thankful I am. For:
- a special family. I couldn't be more loved.
- Mom and Dad's new home. They are happy.
- my boy who is so small and fragile - he's an aging teacup Yorkie for those who don't know.
- health and happiness. Some take these for granted -maybe I used to.
- close friends who know me so well and love me anyway.
- the children in my life - reminders that life goes on...
- my home that I now have time to enjoy.
- the wildlife that call my backyard home. They wow me with their beauty, antics, and ability to eats many pounds of expensive seed, suet, and critter munchies.
- even the chipmunks who take many pounds of safflower seeds underground for the long winter's nap.
- America - even in the tough times - but my generation has never seen REAL tough times - and I hope we never will.
- God's love for me and for all of us. I list this last because it is the one that I want to dwell on as I go through my day. Such undeserved love, mercy, and goodness - what all I could do so much better.
Happy Thanksgiving. May this season be filled with happiness and love!
And, did I mention that I am very thankful for smiling horses? I am!
