Gobble, Gobble, my Blogging Buddies!!
Thanksgiving is upon us. It's that time of year when overeating seems to be the norm and desserts are as numerous as side dishes! (For a quick review of dessert, see my Annual Baking Moment from last year. Yes, I repeated it this year.)
As I sit here typing, there are several things I can think of for which I am thankful. This seems as good a time as any to review them.
I am thankful to be alive and to be enjoying the privilege of living in America. It ain't perfect... but it's the best place on the planet.
I am thankful for my spousal-unit who is just a pure rock. I'm not sure what shape I would be in today were it not for him standing faithfully by my side.
I am thankful for the lack of alligators in my particular back yard. While I don't know anyone who really has them, I do know they are never too far away!
I am thankful for the caregivers who remain with my aunt. You can read more about them in a prior blog. If you didn't read about them in 2009, take a moment to read it.
I am thankful for all of the good things in my life and for how much joy they have given me. I am also thankful for the bad things as I have learned from each of them.
I am thankful that there are a WHOLE lot more warm days in the south than cold ones!! I am thankful for the occasional cold one (day, that is) so some of the bugs will be killed without my having to step on them.
I am thankful for my Louisiana friends who welcomed me back as if I had never left.
I am thankful for television shows that run over and over and over again. It allows me to view them in "pieces" rather than all at once.
Finally, I am thankful for those of you who stay with me and read my little moments of insanity without judging me... too much. :)
I'm done for now. As you are biting into that piece of pumpkin pie that you will not admit to eating, I invite you to comment on this post with something for which you are thankful (other than the pumpkin pie). I would enjoy reading about what YOU consider thankworthy. You can comment anonymously if you would rather. :)
Have a lovely Thanksgiving night wherever you are. Thank you for reading.
Until next post...

I am thankful for having so many wonderful people in my life that love me and that I love back. Thanksgiving day does make us all think about our blessings. Life is sweet and we should try to be just as thankful on August 3 are we are on the third thursday in November.
I couldn't pass up the opportunity to tell you that I am thankful for the alligator who lives in my backyard. He gives me constant enjoyment when I watch him swimming by. He suns on a log with the turtles, loves the fountain that refreshes the lake and endlessly patrols my little part of the lake. He is about 6 ft. long and everyone in my subdivision is sure he will eat their dogs and maybe their small children. There is a strong sentiment to get rid of him by trapping and killing him, but every time I see him I am so happy that he is safe and hope he is wily enough not to be caught. To each his own. Happy Thanksgiving.
I am Kathy Williams.
I am thankful for a son like Ron. He and Mary are there for us always.
I am thankful for two great daughters that are for Paul and I always.
I am thankful for Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. If it were not for Him I would not be here today.
I am thankful for a Father and Mother (now deceased) Rev & Mrs Hal Anderson that brought me up so well and my sisters and brother.
There are many more things to be thankful for but later.
