Happy Thanksgiving

Just a short post to say Happy Thanksgiving. 

What are you thankful for this holiday season?  Did you ever read the Mitford series of fiction novels by Jan Karon?

In one of the books the main charcter Father Tim is making a long drive to visit a friend.  He doesn’t have a radio in the car – or perhaps doesn’t want to listen (can’t remember) but he decides to spend the entire two hour+ drive listing the things he’s thankful for.

At first you think – oh this will be easy, but once you pass by FAMILY, FRIENDS, HOME, HEALTH AND CAREER, what is there?

How about homemade spaghetti and meatballs, the smell of freshly mown lawn in spring, a field of daffodils, toasted marshmallows and towels straight from the dryer.

The next time you have a long drive – perhaps this weekend as you travel to/from family – consider this car game: 

Take turns giving thanks.

I’m thankful for you!

Take care – be happy, eat lots and be safe.
