On This Day of Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving! 

I love Thanksgiving and this time of year, but I can't believe that it is already time for the holidays. It feels like only a week ago we were putting away the tree and now it is time to put it back up. Time is moving way too fast! Today was a great, full of lots of turkey and yummy food. I started the day off at work, which honestly wasn't too bad. I only had to be there for four hours and I enjoyed seeing my residents. The majority of the residents were gone, but it made me sad to see the ones left behind with no family there to spend this special day with. My heart goes out to them. After work lunch was immediately ready- it was so GOOD. Mashed potatoes are my favorite and I'm pretty sure I ate about two plates full. Needless to say I ate till I was full and gained about 12 pounds. Hey tis the season right. 

This day made me reflect on what I am thankful for and although the list could go on for years, because I have much to be grateful for, here are a few things I am most thankful for ON THIS DAY OF THANKS.

I am sure my list could go on and on and I probably left out so many obvious things I am thankful for, but I think I should wrap this one up now. I truly am so grateful for all of the many wonderful blessings I have been given in my life. My mind is blown every time I think of how much our dear LORD has blessed me with. Even when I do stupid things and make multiple mistakes he still forgives me and blesses me immensely. I cannot be thankful enough. 

I hope everyone had a beautiful holiday because I know I sure did. Wishing you the best!
