Thanksgiving
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. As for me, not so great. Family drama as always. Will it ever end? Lol. All I can do is shake it off and move on. Try to stay focused on what the whole day was actually supposed to be about, and that's being thankful. And I am ever so thankful. I have truly been blessed in so many ways. I remember reading a poem or something somewhere and it was just so cute. It said something like, I'm thankful for a hamper full of dirty clothes because it means I have clothing. I'm thankful for a sink full of dirty dishes because it means I have food to eat. Something along those lines, anyway. lol. And it really makes me realize that I take things for granted sometimes. Yesterday, I bowed my head in prayer and thanked God for all those things that I don't thank him for on a daily basis like I should. Like being thankful for family drama because it means I have a family. And it means I'm with them on holidays unlike so many of our supposed to be about and that's being thankful.

And it means I'm with them on holidays unlike so many of our wonderful servicemen and women who can't be with their family right now. I'm thankful for them, and pray for them on a daily basis. Please show them we haven't forgotten about the sacrifices they're making every day and send them a little something for the holidays. Whether it's just a card or snacks, whatever. Just something to show them we do care and are forever grateful. Peace and love.
