Five days of thanksgiving to get in this post.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving!
It's been snowing since yesterday and we've got a nice blanket that is super pretty. I won't be driving anywhere today, that's for sure. Yesterday morning I took the car to have the tires changed over. Just in time.
I got my Thanksgiving/Christmas napkins done- finally. I'm thankful I stopped at four lol. If I'd used the machine, it would have taken perhaps a couple of hours- tops. I did them all by hand. It took weeks.
It's a bit interesting, this whole being thankful 'thing'. We have a tree that we put up around this time with leaves we write what we are thankful for on and 'stick' them to the tree. Our tree grows leaves this time of year rather than losing them {lol}. Anyway. Our leaves often have what some might consider silly things; but they are the little things we are thankful for. It's sometimes easy to think of the big things we are thankful for: our house, our car, our food, our family. But to think of things specifically, sometimes that's not so easy. Or is it just us? Our leaves to other people may seem like we are not taking being thankful seriously, but it's not the case.
Of course on my leaves there's coffee twice {wink}. Oh, and oatmeal. It's the little things in life, as well as the huge things {such as salvation}.
I'm sure at least 5 things have been mentioned already about what I'm thankful for but I'll add some more. How is it possible to be too thankful?? Pollyanna would understand {wink}
