Thanksgiving

I especially love this time of year and feel very appreciative of all the things I have in my life. Around thanksgiving, my gratitude is heightened and my heart feels even more open. So, what am I thankful for? I am thankful for my wonderful family. I could not have asked for a better family! I lucked out for sure! I am thankful for all my friends and all the people I know or used to know that touched my life. I am especially thankful for my best friend! Again, I lucked out and have the best friend that anybody could ever have. I am thankful for my job. It was a bit of a bumpy ride when I was laid off, but I lucked out and landed a job that is perfect for me and close to my home! I am thankful for my health for sure. I have never had any major illnesses and still feel very healthy and strong at the ripe old age of 41! Of course I am thankful for all my material items, my home makes me happy, my vintage car brings a smile to my face and my yard with all my hummingbirds makes me happy.

I am looking forward this year to letting people know how truly appreciative I am for their friendship or impact they have had on my life. I have many wonderful people to be thankful for and feel truly blessed.

Some many interesting people

What is wonderful about the world is that there are some different and interesting people that reside in this small little planet. We all have lessons to learn from these people and each one of them has a very personal story to tell. We look at some and are truly inspired and others we look at and realize how truly fortunate we are. But no matter how we look at an individual, we always open our heart with an abundance of love and leave judgement at the door. There are folks who live with very limited chaos and others who flourish in such an environment and is the only way they know. There is no wrong or right way to live, just whatever feels right for each individual. One thing is for sure, EACH PERSON controls their own destiny and how they are going to live, but we all do not know this. Some of us blame others for our circumstance, but the beauty of it all is that each person has such control and nobody else! How empowering is that! We own our destiny, our feelings and our lives!
