It's Turkey Day

Well, it is Thanksgiving, a time for giving thanks for all the little things in life that on a daily basis are left behind due to a chaotic life, all those things that although they may irritate me or others, I must put aside and be thankful that they are there to do just that.

Time to be thankful for the parents who bore me and gave me an opportunity to join in this wonderful journey called life.

Time to be thankful for all of my brothers and sisters, even those whom I don't speak to for there are memories there that I will never forget, laughter, tears, hugs, love.

My husband whom I would be so lost without for joining me in our daily struggles and not pushing them aside for his own selfish needs and for being the father that he is to our children.

Our children, oh our wonderful little mini-me's. Without them in my life I would be one big empty hole. All the joy and laughter they have given me, all the hugs and kisses I receive in a day from them, all the little pictures I have stowed away, all the little notes that tell me they love me, all the teasing they fling at me when they see that I am crabby only to crack that little smile on my face. Oh, my wonderful little bobbins!

Of course I cannot forget all the creatures that give so much with their silence, and sloppy kisses and stubborness. Our cats and dogs. And all other little creatures that cross our paths as well as those whom provide this wonderful food that many of us will enjoy today.

I cannot forget to Thank our military men and women for sacrificing so much for our country and it's people. Those who will be celebrating on foriegn soil because they believe in what they are doing. And their families who support them and must have an empty space at the table on this day. All the soldiers who have so selflessly given their lives for a people that have suffered through so much and those families who too have so selflessly given the life of their child. God bless them all!!!!

Our friends. Although we don't have many, those that we do have are very near and dear to our hearts everyday. Those who have experienced our pain, our struggles who have been a shoulder for us. A heart felt thank you to all of them is in order on a day like today.

And last but not least the ones we have met through writing in journals and blogs. So many people have touched our lives, have made us laugh, made us angry. Knowing everyday that I can turn on my computer and read about other people or that others read about us makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I used to think that all people were mean and didn't care because in our life we have been surrounded by so many like this. My motto, only one year ago was 'I hate people'. How that has changed.

I hope that each and every visitor to my blog will have or has had a wonderful Thanksgiving. That the food was aplenty, and the conversation was full of laughs and giggles.

From our family to yours, HAPPY TURKEY DAY to all of you!!!!!
