I just wanted to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. And if you aren’t here in the U.S. – I hope that your Thursday is wonderful and blessed. In the spirit of the day, I wanted to share some of the things that I’m especially thankful for. I hope you will do the same.
I’m thankful for the little things in life. Amy had a very fun post yesterday about this. Here are some of my favorite little things:
♥ babies
♥ ponytail holders
♥ contact lenses
♥post-it notes
♥ Fiesta dishes
On a more serious note, I’m thankful:
For Freedom and those who sacrificed so we could be free
For my family and my faith, both without whom my life would be empty
And I’m sincerely thankful for all of you. I get such pleasure from reading your blogs and finding out how each and everyone of you is doing. It’s like discovering a whole new group of friends right in my family room!
I hope that you each have a wonderful Thanksgiving (or Thursday) and enjoy the time spent with family and friends. Me? I’m heading off this morning to run in the Turkey Trot then coming home to work on Thanksgiving dinner!! Hopefully this 5K will be on flatter ground than my last 5K experience! Diane

I am thankful for everything! I am aware that that may sound trite, or just downright bizarre, but I love my life and wouldn’t change a thing about it. I feel like the luckiest woman alive and I try very hard not to take a single thing for granted. Happy Thanksgiving, Diane!

We have so much to be thankful for this year, too – the fact that we are 168 pounds lighter than this time last year is a huge one! I feel so blessed to have “met” you this year and can’t tell you how much your support and help have meant to me – you are such a special woman!
Love the picture of the kids – its great!
Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Diane!
