Thanksgiving is Coming & I am Thankful!

Our  weather is like a roller coaster - up and down and smooth and bumpy and up and ...  You get the idea.  Today rolled in cloudy and then it rained &the wind blew and now the sun is out brightly.  No complaining though because we need the moisture.  I only hope it is a good day for Thanksgiving, since most of the grandkids will be here.  It is a day to look forward  to.  Family gathering, cooking, baking, eating, talking, playing with the grandkids.  Oh what fun!

I am thankful for:
  * Family most of all.  I love to have them gather here at our house. It is crazy when they come, but oh so fun. 
  * Brent.  Since it is just the two of us, we have to think of new things to do together so we won't be boring.  We seem to do a good job of it.
  * The Church especially.  Where in the world would I be without the church?  Every day I am thankful for the gospel which helps me to continue to grow and stretch, which is sometimes hard at my old age.
  * My new home.  It is smaller, but a serene place and has everything we need.  It has been fun decorating it.
  * The area I live in - Sleepy Ridge.  It is so beautiful here.  We have a gorgeous view of Utah Lake in our back yard.  We can also see all the mountains surrounding the valley.  The views continually inspire me.
 * Friends, old & new.  It is comforting to know my old friends are still around with their friendship but fun to make new friends in this neighborhood.
  * Health is wonderful.  Despite my feet problems, I am really rather healthy and I feel good most of the time.  Just a little slower.
  * Wealth, well, at least enough to live on.  We have been blessed to have enough and to spare.  What more could one ask for.
  * My Savior, Jesus Christ.  Just knowing how much he loves me and helps me makes me able to accomplish anything I want to.
 
Be grateful for all you have in life.  I AM>
