Thankfulness Days 15-26
I have not been on here in a while, so here are more days of Thankfulness:
Day 15 I am thankful for Music . . . all the songs, which travel with me through this life. Songs which remind me of people, places, events, emotions. They comfort me and lift me up. Music can embrace you like a good old friend.
Day 16 Today I am thankful that things like junior high only come once in a lifetime. Junior High was a such a necessary time for me to learn about the type of person I was and who I wanted wanted to be - but man, with all it’s awkwardness and self-important drama, I’m so thankful that you only have to go through those years once.
Day 17 I am thankful for wise counsel & kind friends who listen patiently, I’m surrounded by the best folks.
Day 18 I am thankful for my dad. This is the anniversary of the day he went to heaven. I miss him a lot.
Day 19 I’m grateful for time spent with little ones. Their fresh perspective and honesty keeps me humble.
Day 20 I am thankful for family shows like, Parenthood. So sad this is the final season.
Day 21 I’m thankful for my family history. For my relatives who got on the boat, crossed the ocean and started a new life in America. I’m also incredibly thankful that they continue to share the stories from their past and remind our family where we came from.
Day 22 I am thankful for libraries. Especially online ability to search for a book and place it on hold. Then receive an email that it is ready for me to pick up in a day or so.
Day 23 Today I am thankful for patience & forgiveness.
Day 24 Today I am thankful for Surprises. The ones that catch you off guard in the best kind of way. The times when expectations were exceeded and imagination was surpassed. The days that start by seeming too long and end with wishing for more. The months that are so full they are both frozen in time and hard to remember. The fleeting moments that turn into remarkable stories. The instances when failure seemed inevitable but hope prevailed…all because of generosity, kindness, grace, humility, and love.
Day 25 Today I am thankful for thankful for the overwhelming beauty of nature that is consistent and abundant.
Day 26 Today I am thankful for days without meetings or plans.

November Thanksgiving Week One November 1-7
I decided to put my November Thanksgiving on my blog instead of facebook posts this year. I will make a weekly post of Thanksgiving.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. Psalm 100:4
November 1 -- I am thankful for God and all that he has seen me through in my life so far. I have seen a lot of storms. I have to remember to be still and listen to his still, small voice. So many times I find myself stressed and wanting to take care of everything. I Kings 18:20-40 and 19:12
November 2 -- I am thankful for my husband of ten years. We have been through a lot this last decade. Several deployments, too many TDYs to count. Retirement from the Air Force. Our son being born preterm. Several moves over the years. He loves his kids and me very much. Life has not been easy the last few years as chronic pain has taken a strong hold over him. He really tries to do things with us. He does what he can and I have to remember to be patient. He cannot do some things he used to do. He has several health problems that cause chronic pain. May my husband trust in You with all his heart, and not lean on his own understanding; may he acknowledge You in all his ways, and may You make his paths straight. (Prov. 3:5-6)
November 3 -- I am thankful for my son's school. The staff there are amazing. My son has been blessed with ladies and gentlemen that truly care about him and the other students. Our first experience at the school was at the preschool. Miss Melanie was his preschool teacher. He still loves her and we stop by to visit from time to time. His kindergarten teacher was very loving and helped him learn more things. This year he is in first grade. He absolutely loves Ms. Bossi. She loves her job and it shows. He is now practicing higher level math skills like adding three digits, starting some word problems and he is proud that he knows 10 x 10 = 100. He is also in the top reading group. He is getting closer to reading chapter books. He really wants to, but the print is small. I continue to find titles that interest him for his reading. Lately that has been the Frog and Toad books. Proverbs 4:13 “Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life.”
November 4 -- Today I am thankful for FREEDOM! If you have not already, go out and vote! Make your voice heard. “For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters.But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.” Galatians 5:13 (NLT)
November 5 -- I am thankful for hugs and kisses. One thing I experienced in my childhood was bear hugs from my parents, especially dad. He would hug you in greeting and hug again when saying good bye. Romans 12:10 Love one another with brotherly affection [as members of one family], giving precedence and showing honor to one another.
November 6 -- I am thankful for all those near and far who have made me the person I am. Every time I think of you, I thank my God. Philippians 1:3
November 7 -- I am thankful for all the blessings that God has given me throughout my life and continues to provide. God’s blessings are like a river. They fill the city of God with joy. That city is the holy place where the Most High God lives. (Psalm 46:4 NIRV)
