Happy Thanksgiving

This year, I am thankful for many things.

In these unstable economic times,

I am thankful for my jobs (teaching and tutoring)

a roof over my head

and the ability to pay my mortgage

and my bills

sometimes just barely but they get paid.

I am thankful for my family

who wrap me up in their love and support

who are there when I need them

I am thankful

to carry with me the love

of wonderful man who was

taken from this world much to soon

I am thankful for my children

who, while keeping me on my toes,

make me smile and proud

each and every day.

I am thankful

to live in a country

where there are abundant choices

in everyday to where you want to live,

work and pray.

For small pleasures

like a hot mug of tea on a cold day

a long hot shower

soft sheets and blankets

a good book

For all these and more... I am thankfu

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours

Yes We Can!

I've been MIA. All I've had to talk about was back pain....but I've finally made it in to see the doctor and after a week on prednisone, I'm happy to report I am pain free :) I await a call for an appt. to the pain clinic at which I will recieve cortisone shots to the spine...ewwwww not fun!!

The excitement in this household this past week was the election of Barack Obama. Yes, we are Obama supporters. I can't tell you how proud I was to be an American that night. To know that the majority is ready for change. It won't be easy, and it won't be a quick changing or a quick fix but I do believe the best candidate of the two won the election. There is a wonderful site called 52 to 48/48 to 52... the sentiments expressed are ones we need to embrace as a unifed country red/blue= fully American! http://www.zefrank.com/zesblog/archives/2008/11/52to48.html take a look.
