month of gratitude #30

Today is the last day of this challenge. I have really appreciated the opportunity to stop and reflect on all of the little things in my life for which I am grateful. I haven't delved too deeply into some of the more personal issues as that just isn't my nature most of the time. I did want to acknowledge though that I am of course grateful each and every day for all of those things big and small. I have had to work hard for what I have and I try never to take that for granted, even when all I have is love and prayer. I also believe that it is important to take the time to enjoy it. If we don't, then what is the point?

Thank you, Sherry! This has been fun! What do you have for us next?

This may sound strange, but I am grateful for online shopping. As much as I have always loved going out in the holiday madness, I have become much more reliant on the conveniences afforded me by doing my shopping from the comfort of living room. Last year I found that all of the Black Friday deals and then some can be found online. I was able to breeze through stores at speeds never achievable by going out in the shopping craze of after-Thanksgiving sales. Plus, I don't have to fight for a parking space and everything is delivered right to my front door! How can you beat it?

I am grateful for pumpkin pie. And apple pie. And whipped cream.
And mashed potatoes, and gravy, and stuffing and turkey.

I am grateful that my mom is a wonderful cook.

I am not very grateful for all the overeating I have done, but I am grateful that we were all here to sit around the table together and break bread.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am grateful to be spending today with my family. We are all here together for the first time in a long time. I could go on and on, but I could never do it justice with my meager words. I am having a wonderful time and I am very very grateful.
