A Month of Thanksgiving - Day 10

I am thankful that I have a husband that just "knows". And for the time we had together today to recover from a long night with Samantha.

A Month of Thanksgiving - Day 9

I am thankful for busy days and for my awesome husband. And for the whisperings of the Holy Ghost.

A Month of Thanksgiving - Day 8

I was so busy today and so wiped out at the end of the day that I didn't post anything... I am grateful that I had the energy to be so active on this day and since there's probably only 1 person reading this anyway, I am grateful that I didn't disappoint anyone too much. :)

A Month of Thanksgiving - Day 7

I'm thankful for our carpet cleaner... and our washing machine. And the patience God bestowed upon me today. :)

A Month of Thanksgiving - Day 6

I'm thankful for the gospel of Jesus Christ, for my membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and for the knowledge that my family can be together forever.

A Month of Thanksgiving - Day 5

I'm thankful for good books. I've learned that there are plenty of people out there writing and even publishing books, but only a few that are worth the paper they are written on. And some writers really, really should have shopped around for a better editor...

Anywho, two books that I have read recently are on my list of books women need to read:

LIFT - by Kelly Corrigan - There aren't a lot of books that I would purchase AFTER reading it, but this is one of them. It's short enough to read on a plane ride without being all fluffy and trite. And I can totally relate to the author/narrator.

THE GOOD DAUGHTER A Memoir of My Mother's Hidden Life - by Jasmin Darznik - Loved learning about the lives of this Iranian family and especially the women. It makes me want to read more books about the lives of women in other cultures, especially during the sixties.

I'm off to the library to exchange books... I really couldn't even get through the other two I started.

A Month of Thanksgiving - Day 4

I'm thankful for my awesome friend Sara Lyn 'cause she is always commenting on my blogs... and for a plethora of other reasons.

I'm also thankful for patient, understanding doctors and nurses who handle hysterical children like mine very well. Though, I have to wonder if after we leave, they grab some Valium or chocolate or sit and meditate in one of the exam rooms. That's what I would do.

A Month of Thanksgiving - Day 3

I am thankful for big boxes filled with old photographs in the back corner of my closet. :)
... and that I found one today.

A Month of Thanksgiving - Day 2

I'm thankful for a strong husband who CAN fix things and WILL fix things for our family and others.

A Month of Thanksgiving - Day 1

Today I am grateful for closets that hide Halloween candy well.
And for my family.
And for chocolate. All kinds of chocolate.
