Thanksgiving Stuffed Belly!

Every year on Thanksgiving, during the expanded cheeks of turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, we say aloud what we are thankful for. It's entertaining to hear the responses, most are pretty basic but you get a few that are colorful. So, as I sit here and stare at two piles of clean clothes that are patiently waiting to be folded, I wanted to quickly say my thanks.  It doesn't take much to know that I absolutely love every aspect of my life! I can say that with all honesty. Sure life gets rough and bumpy, I make mistakes...plenty of them and there is a tiny bit of stress that I allow to come my way, but I wouldn't change it for the world. Besides, all that, makes life interesting and contributes to memories and stories. Life is a constant learning process and I'm taking it one day at a time, learning as I go and doing what I can to succeed in life.

Times obviously have change and we all know that it's becoming harder to get by. I never take anything for granted because there is such a thing as karma in my book. I count my blessings and believe in the saying, "the more that you own, the more that owns you"! It would be selfish of me to complain about anything in my life, because sadly there is always someone that has it less fortunate than you. I've gone through this wonderful Thanksgiving day thinking about all that I have and all who are in my life. So, I send out a HUGE THANK YOU to all my family, friends and to the one who changed my life for the better, Darrell. Not only for today, but I want to thank you EVERYDAY for being in my life. You have seen me through thick and thin, when I'm at my worse and best and have allowed me to be me without criticism, the love I have for all of you is great. Lastly, I do have to send out a tremendous thank you to Darrell and his entire family. His family has accepted me from day one and has given me love and support like I was one of their own. They have shown me what the true meaning of family is. To Darrell, thank you for making me fall in love with you and making sure that I laugh everyday. I cherish that simple gesture. 

I would love to hear what you are thankful for...

Hope everyone had a safe and fantastic Thanksgiving!
