I love Thanksgiving. It's a great holiday with lots of tradition and family events. We go to Wetaskiwin to spend it with family and usually have a football game, play board games, eat ourselves silly and spend quality time with one another. Here is a link to some pictures of the fun weekend.
It is also a good time to reflect on what we are thankful for. I'm grateful for a comfortable home that has all the room and comforts we need. I'm grateful for a supportive and hard-working husband who is a great father to our children. I'm grateful for Claire and for her endurance and happiness. I'm grateful for Maddie's crazy spirit and thirst for learning. I'm so glad we live in this country where we are free to vote like we did today and to make our voices heard. I'm grateful for good friends who uplift and support us. I'm grateful for our employment. I'm grateful for vehicles that work (knock on wood), food aplenty, ability and $ for leisure activities, good books, computers, laughter, good music, household appliances that make my life easier and the beauty of the earth around us.
Whenever I start to feel sorry for myself, all I have to do is count my blessings and it makes me feel ashamed for being down in the dumps!
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend!
