Thanksgiving!

Thank you SO much for all your messages, emails, texts and visits. I feel that I have been wrapped in a big cosy blanket of friendship. I am having a tough time but it is made so much easier with friends and family. I am looking forward to Chloe and Ed coming tomorrow and Kit on Saturday and willow wreath making on Saturday - all being well. I am SO hoping that Saturday is a much better day! 

Today is Thanksgiving in America and I thought I would make another list to remind me of my many blessings. 

• my wonderful husband
• my beautiful children and their partners 
• creator of the world holding onto my hand 
• my little black pussy cat 
• my friends 
• my church 
• my ladies bible study sharing life together
• my book club ladies 
• my cosy bed and beautiful bed room
• my brand new phone 
• my kindle and books
• tablets that keep me alive
• comfy jamas 
• lovely hand cream
• sparkly lights
• Christmas coming
• sunshine 
• soup
• ice cream
• washing machine that works 
• texts, emails and messages
• warm cosy fire 
• coffee in the morning
• flowers
• dvd watching with Paul

The list could go on and on. I am SO blessed and have so little to moan about. 


Most of All Thanksgiving Day brings to mind
the blessings in our lives
that usually go unnoticed:
a home that surrounds us
with comfort and protection;
delicious food, for pleasure
in both eating and sharing;
clothes to snuggle up in,
books and good entertainment
to expand our minds;
and freedom to worship our God.
Most of all I am thankful
for my family and friends,
those treasured people
who make my life extra special.
You are part of that cherished group.
On Thanksgiving, (and every day)
I appreciate you. Happy Thanksgiving! By Joanna Fuchs
