OK so Nov. is gratitude month. We are going to our annual Gratitude Banquet on Sat. I am not sure if I will be on here tomorrow so here goes:

I am so grateful to have the freedom to basically whatever I please these days! My Ah is doing well & gives me many opportunites that I take on a daily basis. Like getting on here. He doesn't really know much about this forum but he knows that it helps me(at least I think he does).

I am so grateful for snow! I thought I would never say this but it is BEAUTIFUL! It is much better than rain as long as there isn't too much or ice on the roads! By the way, tomorrow, we are going to be 60 miles + to attend the banquet. I hope we make it back safely--but God has the wheel so I figure we will be fine, right? Just have faith & pray like crazy I guess. Actually this is the first real snow of the season. I am so glad that I can enjoy it!

I am grateful for all my friends who stand by me through thick & thin, parents who love me & siblings who put up w/ me!

Last but not least, I am grateful for my HP through whom all blessings flow! Sometimes He is all I need to get by! He I believe gave me all of you to keep me grounded & fulfilled by all your comments. You are all loved--at least by me.

Be grateful & thankful--it doesn't hurt! And, if you are having a bad day; don't worry God isn't finished w/ it yet!

Kathleen

I have never heard of Gratitude Month.  Of course it goes hand and hand with Thanksgiving.  I have so much to be grateful for.  First on the list, my health, house, car, clothes, healthy children, family, hot showers, living in a safe country, and my first cup of coffee in the morning.

Thanks for the reminder of gratitude.  It is always a welcomed topic.

xoxo,

T
