It had been my intent to spend the month of November focusing on that for which I am thankful. Not just the “big stuff” like my family (and precious Aiden!) and our health and home and the material things, but the little things, too. Here it is, Day 5, and I’ve seemingly failed at my own challenge!
Actually, I do have a list that I’ve been adding to each day, thinking of how I could write about this or that, and do I have an appropriate photo to share, and so on. I find myself going through my day thinking about stuff – the things I see, the people I know and the ones I meet, the places I go and the places I plan to go, and so on….just trying to think about being thankful for whatever I’m thinking of…
I guess, in a way, I haven’t failed. I just can’t corral my thoughts into words. So, for today, I’m being thankful for having so much to think about. 
I will continue in this endeavor, but I may not succeed in getting something written each day. I plan to continue finding ways to appreciate all that God has blessed me with.
We are very blessed indeed!

It really is about the attitude isn’t it Vicki? God loves our thankful heart and doesn’t worry about the rules we make ourselves.
I scolled down and saw your little Aiden sitting so big ..so cute.
Enjoy your thankful day.

I am thankful for friends who take picture of live oak tangles that are festooned with Spanish moss so I won’t forget how wonderful such things are.
