Thanksgiving in a WEEK?!!!

All over Facebook, folks have posting their "thankfulness" for the month of November.  Some of my FB friends have even done a 365 challenge... 365 days to list a year's worth of reasons to be thankful.

Do I have 365 reasons to be thankful?  Absolutely.  Have I listed one every day?  Nope.  But I really enjoy reading everyone else's reasons!!! :)

However, in the midst of some of the less-than-happy goings on in the life of my family, I thought this would be a perfect time to focus on some positives...  so, I'll take this week to list a few... for my own sake... and if it happens to bring a smile to someone else's face, all the better!

So, here we go... (not in any particular order... just what strikes me in the moment)...

My parents:

More now than ever, I'm reminded that it's such a blessing to have both of my parents still in my life.  Life is precious and sweet.
