December Is Waiting To Enter

December

It is waiting to makes it's entrance.

Ready or not all the hustle and bustle

is knocking on the door.

Am I ready?  Haha! no but I had

better get with it.

I told my daughter, I am just not

going to decorate this year.

She laughed!

She said,

"Mom you say that every year, and guess what?

You always decorate."

So she was really saying,

Stop, complaining and do what you always do. . 

Decorate for Christmas. . .

So it all begins. . Come back and 

watch the Christmas decorating  of my home.

It Is Good To Be Thankful

It is a common thing 

that we express what we are

THANKFUL 

for at this time leading to

Thanksgiving.

I believe it is good to express my

Thankfulness

Everyday.

All the Time.

No matter where my journey in life takes us

it is good to express my 

Thankfulness.

We all have our highs and our lows

Good times and difficult times.

As my Auntie would say,

"It is just one thing after another."

I have had my share of "lows".

Difficult times, and struggles.

I do believe my good days have 

out numbered my difficult days.

It is true. . . 

"Count your many blessings

name them one by one,

and it will surprise you

what the Lord has done!"

There is something about 

writing and naming my blessings

One by One

that makes me feel more positive

and happy about life.

It seems my blessings increase

One by One.

For me I write in my

Gratitude Journal

Everyday.

I reflect on my day, and I

write the things I am most 

Thankful

for on that particular day.

I am always amazed at what 

marvelous things I am

Blessed  with.

November Ramblings

It is a beautiful chilly November day

where I live. And I like it!

November is one of my favorite months.

I have many special reasons why I love this month.  

My first child Mathew was born in November.

The birth of a child you never forget.

My second grandson Andrew is also a

November baby.  I also have other reason to

Love November.

November is a time for 

Families to gather together.

Generations, 

Children, Parents, Grandparents

Aunts, Uncles, Cousins.

We all gather as families and friends

to begin the biggest

celebration of all

Christmas!

Thanksgiving

Begins the Christmas Season for me.

But, first I like Thanksgiving,

I don't want to rush it out of the way

I like to savor the season of giving 

Thanks.

I believe that everything is centered around being Together.

And that Family is everything.  

With Friendship closely linked.

November

Thanksgiving

Family

Together

No matter the circumstances of our life,

we are still part of a family.

This month and every month I give thanks for

the Blessings of Family, Friends, Gathering.

I am thankful for November. . .

It reminds me of the precious gift I have
