Happy Turkey Day


Well, another Thanksgiving is winding down. It's been a great day! Our family was just chillin' together. It was brilliantly sunny outside, but the wind was very cold. We even built a fire in the fireplace today - that was wonderful. We need to get some firewood though, as we kept it going with little sticks and twigs and that didn't last long, as I'm sure you can imagine. :) The turkey turned out well, as did all the other "fare" and we have very happy tummies now as we're lounging on the sofa and watching "Sister Act" on TV. (great line: "if this becomes a nun's bar, I'm outta here") Everyone needs a day like this once in a while. Lately I think I need a day like this everyday. Hmmmmmm....nah, that would get old pretty quickly.

Here's a little thankful list: (only scratches the surface)
My family, immediate and extended
Friends you can laugh with (ask the girls about this one) ha!
The love and forgiveness of God, through Jesus' sacrifice
Food
Clothes
Our home
Sunny, the sweet desert doggy
Sunny days
MUSIC!
The beauty of nature
Chocolate
Hugs
........just to mention a few

Like lil' Junior Asparagus sings on the Veggie Tales video, "A thankful heart is a happy heart." Too true, Junior, too true.
