As the holiday seasons are fast approaching don't get so busy you forget the true meaning of them. Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite Holiday....there is no hype on what gift to give, or whether or not the recipient will like it.........It is all about being thankful. I am very thankful for my family and friends, and just wanted to take this time now to reflect on this. I have also put down a list sent to me last year by a friend. Warm Holiday wishes to all of you. Your friend..........Sandi


I AM THANKFUL...

...for the taxes that I pay because it means that I am employed.

...for the mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends.

...for the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat.

...for my shadow who watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine.

...for a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.

...for all the complaining I hear about the government because it means we have freedom of speech.

...for the spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking.

...for the lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means that I can hear.

...for the piles of laundry and ironing because it means I have clothes to wear.

...for weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been productive.

...for the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that I am alive.

...for getting too much e-mail because it lets me know I have friends who are thinking of me.
