I'm so very sorry for the lapse in posting... I just haven't been in blog land.. But I wanted to finish my Gratitude post. I did it on my facebook, but didn't get it done here all the time. I had hopes to right longer posts than little blurbs like this. But once I fell behind, I really became overwhelmed and then before I knew the month is ending. I hope you enjoy the rest of what I'm thankful for.
Day 17 ~ I'm thankful for fall! I love all the colors changing and the leaves falling! I love pumpkins and pumpkin patches. I love hay rides and everything fall! I love Thanksgiving and that everyone is full of thanks! And this happy time takes me right up to Christmas time! It's perfect!
Day 18 ~ I'm very thankful for the gift of weight loss surgery. 6 months and 97 lbs gone. I'm very very thankful that I was blessed with the surgery. It has saved my life in many ways. I feel so much better, and didn't realize just how crummy I was feeling. It has improved my migraines so much. And even the Psuedo tumor cerebri is like almost gone!!! It has already done more than I ever imagined.
Day 19 ~ I'm thankful for a special friend that always has the words and messages to deliver to me. Not just messages of encouragement, but a different connection. She is more than a friend, but like a sister! One of the most beautiful people inside and outside. The biggest hearts I have ever seen. She is always helping others, even when she is in great need herself. She has struggled years with many health issues, but manages to still keep going and not giving up. Despite the struggles and hardships she has dealt with. We have a deep connection that many will never understand or get. I couldn't be more thankful to have her in my life! She is a special aunt to my kids, and the most open and loving person. She doesn't trust easily and doesn't consider many to be real friends, and to be one of her real friends even means more.
Day 20 ~ I'm so thankful that I have a husband that helps me. Not only when I am sick or down, but all the time. He is so helpful and i'm thankful, as I see many friends struggle because their hubs do not help.
Day 21 ~ Today we got some much needed rain! And I'm really thankful for it. We are in extreme drought.
Day 22 ~ I'm so thankful that I found my wedding ring after I lost it earlier today. I had been so sad and crying and crying. But after calming down and prayer, it was found! Thank you, God!
Day 23 ~ I'm thankful for my friends. They are very important to me. They are part of my family. Each one holds a very important place in my life. Not only are they blessing me with the usual friendship way, but they make life grander in business too. I really like that I get to work with them in many different areas. I'm very thankful for the lost friendships that have been restored, and some even grew stronger. For those that were brought back to me, after being apart for just going to different ways and paths. I love each and every friend and I'm really thankful for them.
Day 24 ~ I'm so very thankful for the Thanksgiving Holiday, were we are all giving thanks for the many blessings in our lives! Wish it was the normal way of life and last all year long.
Day 25 ~ That we were able to put up our Christmas tree as a family. It was really awesome and full of memories as we went through our ornaments and they carried us back through time, and we were busy making new memories decorating the tree.
Day 26 ~ The last few days (Thanksgiving weekend) have been low key, full of family time, and lots of relaxing. It was perfect! We didn't travel and no one traveled here. We just made our own super special thanksgiving and then spend the weekend doing family things together without stress or hussle and bussle. It was wonderful!
Day 27 ~ I'm thankful that we have the inside Christmas decorations up~ I love to just sit and look and enjoy them! I love the lights, the knick knacks, the nativities, the gingerbread men, the snowmen, the memories that each one holds and that I get to go back to those memories when I sit and look at the goodies.
Day 28 ~ Birthday's. They are each persons special day and full of fun and memories as we celebrate.
Day 29 ~ I'm thankful for God's Word! For God working it out behind the scenes so I don't have to worry. Today in Bible study, I was given scripture that confirmed to me, that even when many don't agree with us, we are doing the right thing.... (many don't agree with growing our family or homeschool).
Day 30 ~ Today I am thankful for Scentsy! It has been a big blessing to our family. The business has been a help in time of need. I'm thankful that I was able to reach my goal this month! And I'm so excited to for my delivery tomorrow of my incentive warmers that I earned this summer! I'm so thankful that Scentsy brought a childhood friend back to me! I'm thankful for the new friends I have made. And I'm thankful to part of a company that really and truly believes in making the world a better place! I'm thankful that Scentsy has me striving to be better! I can't say enough good about Scentsy, the products and what the business has done for me and my family!
Hugs and Blessings,
