Thanksgiving Day 13....

13/352

Today I am so very Thankful for the Hard Times I have experienced in my life.   No, I am not hoping for more---I am just so thankful that the hard times help me to enjoy the good ones; they help me realize what is important in life and help us all to be more thankful for our blessings - big and small.  There is no sunshine and no rainbows without the rain and no peaks without the valleys.  The storms of life teach us so much! True joy can only be experienced when we are aware of how very fortunate we are.
