Day 148 of Thanksgiving....

148/217

Today I am so very Thankful for our Military and all of those who have suffered and sacrificed for our safety and the lives we live! I saw the most awesome little cartoon this morning and the caption was "Thanksgiving is when we are thankful for the things we have; Veteran's Day is when we pause to be Thankful for the people who fought for the things we have!" This is so awesomely true and so easy to forget and loose sight of. Right now our family has a young person serving in Portugal and this helps us to know how important this service is. Thank you Anna - we love you and miss you so much!!!

Days

1/364 For years I worked in an office at a desk and one of the company supplied tools was a desk calendar. It was the kind with one page for each day and at the end of the day, that page would be torn off. In the bottom right corner of the page were two numbers with a slash between them. I was fascinated with these numbers - they represented the numerical place that day held in the 365 days of the year. Simple math but awesome to me. For the purpose of this blog I will do my best to use that representation to note 365 Days of Thanksgiving. I have tried this many times in journals but have always failed and let it fall by the wayside. I am hoping by creating this blog and posting it on FaceBook that I will have the organization and forethought to keep it going. I also hope this practice will allow me to keep things in perspective and realize the true joy in life and focus on that each and every day. So hear goes.....
