    Default I Counted My Blessings, and.....

    Today I am thankful for the laundry in the basement; it means I
    have clothes to wear. I'm thankful for the stacks of paper on my office floor;
    it means I have a job. I'm thankful for the dishes in the sink waiting to be
    washed; it means I have food. I'm thankful for a dirty house to clean; it means
    I have a place to live. I'm thankful for our muddy vehicles; it means we have
    transportation. Now add to that mix my family and friends and I see that I am a
    rich woman. Thank you, God!!!
    Spiritual:
    "You are fearfully and wonderfully made." Please... respect life.

    Financial:
    Debt free, hoping to stay that way!

    1. Keep on writing.
    2. Get some balance in my life.
    3. Lose weight. Hopefully 5# this year. (9.5 pounds right now! Yay, Me!!)
    4. Continue to be looking for how God wants to use me this year.

    Have to agree with you there. Was thinking about this on my walk this morning.

    Hope everyone was a great day today.

    I'm thankful for all I have, especially our home and family. We went to a cousin's for dessert after our dinner and it was wonderful to see 20+ people all gathered around the tables. There were mountains of food and alot of laughter. This will definately be one Thanksgiving that I will remember for a long time. God bless
