One day isn't long enough to say thanks

Thanksgiving- what a beautiful holiday! One day set aside for the sole purpose of taking time to realize how very blessed we all are. One day could never be enough time for me to really go thru my list of blessings. But here are a few big ones:

-I'm thankful for every little struggle, every misstep. They make me who I am.
-I'm thankful that I get to be an artist for a living.
-I'm thankful for the color of the ocean.
-I'm thankful for the crisp air outside.
-I'm thankful for my books.
-I'm thankful for bestest friends that are more like family with each passing day.
-I'm thankful for my family. (Just look at my mom and dad and baby bro below: aren't they the cutest?)
-I'm so very thankful that God loves little old me, even though I'm far from deserving.

This Thanksgiving day, why not try thinking of a new blessing every hour? What a list you'd have by the end of the day. Full of important things, really important things.On this very special Thursday , enjoy the fall, enjoy your family, enjoy your friends. Enjoy the start of the holiday season, enjoy pulling on that winter coat, enjoying laughing at old jokes. And for heaven's sake, whatever you do, enjoy the turkey, too!
