November 23rd

I was working around the house, enjoying the last few hours of "alone time" before the troops were home for the Thanksgiving break.  Throughout the day, I stop and take a couple deep breaths.  Can you believe that some people go a whole day without taking a good, solid deep breath?

You're taking a big breath right now, aren't you.

Anyway, I was playing around with my camera, as I was finishing my hot tea, and took this picture.

Candid.  I didn't even clean the crap off my counter. 

That's big for me.

And this one, giving myself a nice abdominal stretch. 

The stretch through the quad is amazing too.
(I wish I moved that milk carton.)



This is my Thanksgiving smile.

I have SO much to be thankful for...

 

 And for my last photo...

This is the only turkey that I will prepare for Thanksgiving this year. 

He is my Turkey of Gratitude.

Isn't he as cute as can be?
(Don't worry, my family will eat turkey, at my mother-in-law's house.)

My kids will LOVE this because after talking about all the blessings we have in our lives,

they will each get to write what they are thankful for on a turkey feather.

I did the first feather, just... for this here bloggy blog.

I heart "The Turkey of Gratitude."

Happy Thanksgiving to you. 

May you remember and enjoy all of the blessings that enrich your life.

When you think about it, there are many more than you realize.
