Day 152 of Thanksgiving.....

152/213

Today I am so very Thankful for my Daughters-In-Law! I now have three and as the mother of all boys, I really appreciate them so much. They bring joy, beauty and so much love to our lives every day. Shopping for girly things and hair doodads are among the other benefits. We are very fortunate indeed to have three beautiful young women as a part of our family now. Go Pink!!

Day 69 of Thanksgiving

69/296

Today I am so very Thankful for Daughters-In Law! As a family of all boys, we have been so excited to welcome some girlies into the fold. We are so very fortunate that our boys have chosen kind, intelligent wonderful women to share their lives with. This year we will be celebrating the marriage of one and a wedding for another, as well as the 7th Wedding Anniversary of our oldest - such joy they have brought into our lives. Another wonderful advantage is that our youngest who is only 16 is getting a taste of having females around. Growing up with 3 older brothers can be tough - we are so very thankful that our DILs and DIL-To-Be have shown him the other side! We love them all 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.....
