November Thanksgivings

Nov 1     So very thankful that Baby Allison's graft surgery for her burns went well!!! What an amazing and strong and beautiful child our family has in this girl!

Nov 2     Thankful for all the many love notes from my daughter.

Nov 3     Thankful for the new fuzzy pink dice Mai added to my car. They make me smile today.

Nov 4     Thankful for this guy who tells me he "loves me more" every single day!...and loves books as much as I do.

Nov 5     Thankful for time to breathe. I just got an email from a much too busy friend that reminds me that the emphasis I've placed on having a life that is a controllable level of busy is a smart thing. Always take time to smell the roses...or palm trees and ocean breezes in this case...

Nov 6     This Sunday I'm thankful for my new church. It's actually an extension of my old church...but a little better fit for me...and the kids LOVE their new KidsRock group at church...I mean who wouldn't love learning in an environment where you get to occasionally jump around...

...with the Flinstones...

...and clown around a bit?

Nov 7     Thankful for my workout partner, Tracy - It's ALWAYS more fun to work out with a friend. Here's to 7 years!

Nov 8     Today I'm being hit from all sides (and it's still only 5:52 A.M!!) about just how blessed I am. I want to share two things today that I just loved. The first is a blog post from Brooke, from my women's group at church. Her blog is God Gives Me Pink Things and the post that touched my heart this morning is this one:  My Heart...

and the second is this little video my aunt shared today:




Nov 9     Tonight I am SO thankful for my women's group and their transparency in their lives as we choose to trust each other with the deepest parts of our soul and share and love each other and God.
