Happy Thanksgiving

Dear Friends:
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I hope you all have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving and that you are blessed to eat so much turkey, gravy, stuffing, and delicious side dishes that you will be ready to burst. :)
As we all think of how grateful we are this Thanksgiving, I wanted to share that my greatest blessing is my son... I always tell him that he is the best son in the whole world because I want him to always know how much I appreciate him every day. And how grateful I am that the good Lord has blessed me with giving birth to this wonderful, loving, generous child. (He had his 21st birthday recently, so he's certainly not a child anymore -- I will do a post soon with some photos!)
I also wanted to include this poem below that my cousin, Veronica, sent me. She has been so good to me over the years. Veronica, and her husband & sons, are a true blessing to me.
When I read this poem, I also include appreciating YOU, all of my blogging friends. I am grateful for your friendship and your visits to my blog, and for your kind and wonderful comments. God bless all of you and have a wonderful holiday!
Best,
Gloria

I’m Thankful for You
Thanksgiving is the appointed time for focusing on the good in our lives.

In each of our days, we can find small blessings, but too often we overlook them, choosing instead to spend our time paying attention to problems.

We give our energy to those who cause us trouble, instead of those who bring peace.

Starting now, let’s be on the lookout for the bits of pleasure in each hour, and appreciate the people who bring love and light to everyone who is blessed to know them.

You are one of those people.

On Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for you.

Happy Thanksgiving!
