Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Gratitude should be expressed much more often than once a year, 

but I for one am glad there's one holiday that reminds us to stop and give thanks.

Here are a few of the things I'm most grateful for this year:

Game nights

Laughter

Beautiful mountain trails

Blue skies and sunshine

Enough to eat

A warm place to sleep

Letters in the mail

Homemade cookies

Good books, bubble baths, and cute boots

Forgiveness

Freedom,

Family & Friends

Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness!

Enjoy some turkey and a piece of pumpkin pie and have a very happy day of Thanksgiving!

Giving Thanks...

I can no other answer make, but, thanks, and thanks.

--William Shakespeare

"Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgiving, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings."

--William Arthur Ward  

"O give thanks unto the Lord;for he is good: 

for his mercy endureth forever."

Psalms 136:1

"At the age of 18, I made up my mind to never have another bad day in my life. I dove into an endless sea of gratitude from which I've never emerged."

--Patch Adams     

Cultivate an attitude of gratitude.

--Thomas S. Monson

Happy Thanksgiving!

"Some people grumble that roses have thorns;

   I am grateful that thorns have roses."

                                               --Alphonse Karr

God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today.

Have you used one to say "Thank You?"

--William A. Ward

Giving thanks...

"Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude."                                        --A.A. Milne 

What would your favorite fictional character give thanks for this Thanksgiving? Ever wondered? Winnie the Pooh would be thankful for a simple jar of honey. For Bilbo Baggins it would have to be second breakfasts and elevenses. I'm sure Elizabeth Bennett (and Mr. Darcy, too) would give thanks for second chances. And I think Harry Potter would give thanks for friends that feel more like family. I tried to imagine what Katniss Everdeen would be grateful for, but I honestly couldn't come up with a single thing. As for me? I am grateful for simple things like friends and family; bubble baths, snow plows, and Maui beaches; chocolate, Sunday morning comics, the cancer treatments that saved my sister's life, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; libraries, books to read, and at least 1,000 other things.

Here's to counting our blessings this year...I hope you have a very

Happy Thanksgiving!
