  • What are you thankful for?

    November 24, 2009 /


    In a few days it’ll be Thanksgiving. It’s a time to dwell on that for which we’re thankful.

    So, I thought I’d share a bit about what I’m thankful for. There’s too much to be able to list in one post, but here’s a small peek into what I’m thankful for.

    God and His willingness to love a screw up like me.
    My hubby. He takes such fantastic care of me and treats me like a precious treasure.
    My family: Mom, step dad, sister, her hubby, and their daughter.
    My family: This is my dad and his wife Penny
    More famly: My brother-in-law and his family
    More family: My mother and father in law
    I'm thankful for my health. And hopefully it'll hold out on my 100-mile bike ride this Saturday.
    I couldn't possibly list photos of all my writer friends or I might overload the internet, but here is one of me and two of them heading up to a writers retreat this past summer.

    So, what are you thankful for?
