Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving dinner is over. It came togather pretty easily this year, no drama, which is always nice...I was in charge of apple and pecan pie and stuffing. I made everything yesterday and I am sure that contributed to the ease of today.

Since this is Thanksgiving Day. I'd though I'd list some of what and who I am thankful for:

Music

Food

The roof over my head

New, Nice FREE clothes

my very cozy bed and room

Mom, Dad, Matt, Laurel, Nicole, Deborah, Tara, Leah, Brandon, Braedon, Jordyn, Bryson, Jack, Jackie, Jo, Grace, Sam and Parker, Colby, Halli, McKinnley,Charlee, Reilly

Charlie, Houdini, KittKatt, GrisGris, Jasmine

My Aunt Margie and Uncle Richard, Kim and Rick and their families, my Aunts Jeanie and Suzanne, Uncle Frank and their families and all my Cluff cousins.

My garden and wild house finches, hummingbirds and the Desert Botanical Gardens

BOOKS, and the wonderfully talented Authors and Editors who created them

Theresa, Toni, Suzanne and Carla, Sheston, Connie, Shannon, Leslie, Mark, Vicki, Lisa

The ability to attend College and the teachers who work there

yarn and floss and the wonderfull people who create patterns

Singing in the choir

The list could go on and on...If I left someone off, it was just because I got tired. I'm thankful for you too!

Happy Thanksgiving.

So...

I'm sitting on my bed listening to Christmas music (yes I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but I love Christmas music). I'm trying to decide how to start my essay and know that the only way to start is ...wait for it... to simply start writing.

not that I haven't had plenty of time today to write, but oh, I've had some lovely distractions. My sister Leah and hubby and kids all showed up to visit this afternoon with bags of clothes for me to sort through.

I have better stop and start what I'm really supposed to be working on.

Aude, igitur, semper esse idem! (Dare, therefore, always to be the same (man,person))
