Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! For me, its Monday morning. I just got off working 2 nights, and i slept this morning. So, for me its now Morning, get it??? I know, for someone who doesn't work shift work, it just doesn't make sense! I have a bun dough rising on the counter. I'm trying to catch up on housework and laundry today, as the rest of the week looks rather full. Tuesday-in the city with mom for an oncology appt, and a concert in the evening. Wednesday-I have an all day inservice at work. Thursday & Friday-back at work. Next weekend, the boys have volleyball and hockey, and I have hockey on Saturday evening. Now this last week, lets see.... my memory is failing. I sat with mom for an afternoon at chemo, on Wednesday. We had a wonderful time-chatting, visiting with the nurse, shopping by catalogue, reading, and such. Mom seemed to tolerate the treatment quite well. The rest of the week, hmmmm, I hauled some bales, read, visited with friends, hockey game on Friday, and the regular stuff. The week went too quickly. Those weeks off of work always go too quickly! Yesterday, we went to Del's parents for lunch and the afternoon. Had the traditional meal there, chicken, potatoes, coleslaw, applesauce, gravy, corn, fresh brown bread, and of course, pumpkin pie for dessert. I even had my traditional afternoon nap there!Here we are at thanksgiving weekend. The time set aside each year to be thankful. I guess its nice to focus on it once in a awhile, but I'm thinking we should focus on it all the time. I find it easy to complain-but theres always someone who has got it going a little worse than I. I was catching up with a friend the other night, and we were comparing the sucky year we were having-his sounded even worse than mine! How much loss is someone suppose to be able to handle??? So, I need to write a thankful list for me. Here it goes--friends-near and far, thru thick and thin-family-yes, we've gotten closer this year. we are not divided, we are unified.-extended family-yes, relationships have re-established-Del, Jayde, & Kyle-they are the best. What a blessing they are to me!!!-home and such......-job-ya, some days It doesn't feel like a blessing, but it is!-beautiful fall foliage-it's been awesome this year!!!-and, I guess I need to be thankful for the water we have-yes, there's plenty of it to be thankful for!This list is never ending. There are so many things to be thankful for. And this list is not prioritzed in any form. They are all so important!I wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving! I wish you all plenty of quality time with family. I also wish all of you a safe and peaceful week!I'm off to put the bun dough on pans. Then I've put it off long enough-gotta get the garage cleaned out for winter!!!
