Things to be thankful for ....

While our Thanksgiving holiday was not without some stress, for the most part, it was absolutely wonderful ! We had some sickness of extended family members which caused some changes of plans and unexpected trips and rearranging of schedules but despite all that, here are the things I enjoyed:

1. Thanksgiving day with my family - eating, talking, laughing and did I mention eathing ?

2. A raucous game of Balderdash which left us with sides hurting from laughing so hard.

3. Shopping on Friday with my girls - yes, I know it's insane but I'm one of those who loves to hit the stores the day after Thanksgiving and stand in long checkout lines with the other go-zillion people who have the same idea of shopping that I do.

4. Eating at Bonefish Grill with my family on Friday night. Wow! I have eaten there many times and have never had a bad meal. (Sorry, Heidi, I can't remember the names of all the food I ate but it was wonderful) Of course, the company could not have been better.

5. Putting up my Christmas tree and outside decorations certainly put me in a festive mood. I sat in the living room last night watching the twinkling lights, looking at the fire and listening to Christmas music .

I'm thankful for holidays and thankful for my family who brings me so much joy !
