Happy Thanksgiving November 21, 22, and 23, 2017

Hello Everyone,

I'm sorry.  I seem to be having trouble posting everyday.  I don't mean to not but I seem to not either way.  Today however is a day to be Thankful and not for a bunch of apologies.

Today I am thankful for....Everything
I am thankful for everything I see.  Today is good.  Not because it is perfect but because I am taking time to see the beauty in small things.  I made my first turkey.  I got to spend time with people I love.  I rested.  I created.  Everything I have done, am doing, and will do seems so beautiful.  I could not see a reason to not be thankful.

November 21: My Computer which I type on
November 22: Tanglewood Christmas lights.  A family tradition for years I am not sharing with my son :)

I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving today.

Sincerely,
BLW

November 20, 2017 Today I Am Thankful For...Day 17, 18, 19, 20

Hey Everyone,

I'm sorry it has been a few days since I post.  I was out late Friday night with my mom and sister, came home and spent the rest of the night, next day, and day after sick and bedridden.  I got better about mid-yesterday but was so exhausted and miserable I just skipped out on posting.

Today I am back though and ready to play catch up

Day 17:The Southern Christmas Show
Like I said, I was out late Friday with my mom and sister, and we went to the Southern Christmas Show.  This one is special to me.  I am not thankful for the show in particular as much as I am with the once a year depute that allows me to spend time with my mom and sister.  Going around and looking at all the Christmas stuff and spending time with each other.  This to me is what the season is about, family.  I love the time I spend each year with my mom and sister and it is always something I look forward to.

Day 18: My Health
There is nothing like a few days in bed and being sick to make you very grateful for getting up everyday and having your health.

Day 19:Clean Water
Because there is nothing more refreshing than a glass of clean water.  My cup runs over.

Day 20:Prayer
Knee mail.  I really do believe the only way to stand is on your knees with lifted hands(check out Casting Crowns song Courageous).  When all else fails or everything is great from my highest and my lowest points I know I am never alone.  I talk to my Father through prayer.  I am always connected to Him.  No one can take that away from me. 

Again, I am sorry I got behind.  I didn't mean to be down and out.  I hope you guys are enjoying my I am Thankful for... so far.  Hopefully it has inspired or helped you in some way.  I'll see you tomorrow.  I think it's going to be another cold night so I pray you all stay warm. 

Sincerely,
BLW

November 16, 2017 Today I Am Thankful For...Day 16

Hello everyone,
What another lovely day it is today.  Then again, everyday is a day isn't it.  Today I would to express my thankfulness for my car.  I have had a good car go bad on my quickly before in the past and to have something to runs, has a working air and heat system, and only needs regular maintenance is really and truly a blessing.  It might not be this car or that car but it is my car and I am so so blessed to have it.  Truly thankful.
Sincerely,
BLW

November 15, 2017 Today I Am Thankful For... Day 15

Hello Again,
Did you know today was National clean your refrigerator out Day?  If not you better get to cleaning lol just kidding.  Today I am Thankful for my refrigerator.  I’ve had a lot of problems with it this last year and have looked at replacements and they are expensive, so today I am so thankful for my refrigerator and that it still works.  It isn’t perfect but it keeps the things I need cold.  For that I am grateful.
Sincerely,
BLW

November 14, 2017 Today I Am Thankful For...Day 14

Hello Everyone,

Getting this one posted a little later than I would have liked tonight.  That’s okay though, sometimes you have to just go with things not planned and the unexpected.

Tonight, I am Thankful For...a good day.

I’m talking about one of those days that isn’t anything extravagant but simple and nice, which makes it wonderful.  Just the small things that happen through out the day that bring a smile to your face.  For me today it was spending a simple day with Family.  And what a wonderful simple day it was.

Sincerely,
BLW
