Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, I've been working on several posts but life keeps running ahead of me.  I guess I'll look forward to posting them in the next few weeks.  Several are easy DIY projects that you can do for the December holidays.




I've edited some photos from the Caughlin Ranch fire and will download them to my Flickr account.  I've found it hard to write a post about our experience when so many have lost so much this year (including in hurricanes, tornadoes, and fluke accidents).  I'm grateful for the health and well being of my family and friends.

Thank you for reading my blog and leaving me your wonderful comments.  No matter how you spend your Thanksgiving (or Thursday for those of you in other countries), I hope you have a wonderful day.

Words to remember throughout the year

BE THANKFUL

By Author Unknown

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.

If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something,

for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.

During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations,

because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge,

because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you're tired and weary,

because it means you've made a difference.

It's easy to be thankful for the good things.

A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.

Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,

and they can become your blessings.
