Home Sweet Home....

Each and every day I am so very Thankful for a place to call Home!!  For years I worked long hours and was away from home from dusk to dawn.  Now I am so very thankful that I can enjoy being at home and that we have a place for the Boys to come home to!

Day 157 of Thanksgiving.....

157/208

Today I am so very Thankful for our Home!  Many times it is bursting with laughter and people we love and we are so grateful for it.  So many people in the world don't have a warm safe place to call home and so many have lost their homes during the last few years.  Now, Hurricane Sandy has brought this all to mind again and each of us who is fortunate enough to have a place to call our own where we live with those we love, are so very blessed.  It's so amazing, a home can be big or small, one story or more, but when you walk through that door there is no better feeling.  Ours is old and not so big, but it is bursting at the seams with Thanksgiving and Love!

Day 20 of Thanksgiving...

20/345

Today I am so very Thankful for a place to call Home.  For many years of my life I didn't give this a second thought.  I thought that because I worked hard, I had a right to have a home - a place to call my own - a roof over my head.  Several years ago when both my husband and I lost our jobs, we came face to face with the realization that we more than likely would loose our house before he found a job.  It is no small miracle that we didn't ---- something that I am most aware of each and everyday.  The fact that others have not been so fortunate is also not lost on me.  That experience has given me the realization that there is no guarantee that we won't be faced with that same fate again - there is no real way to storm proof our home so that you can never loose it.  It happens every day all around us.......therefore I am joyously thankful for Home.

Day Fourteen of Thanksgiving.....

14/351

Today I am so very Thankful for Hope and Faith.  For me they go hand in hand and I feel so very fortunate that no matter what happens in life, I have had hope and faith to get me through.  It can come from many forms depending on your individual beliefs but as long as you have it, that's what is important.  Maybe sometimes I am just delusional (small laugh) but so far hope and faith have kept me afloat.  I am so very Thankful for both!
