“This Sabbath day has been designated as a day of thanksgiving, a day of gratitude—even a day of prayer. We pause, we ponder, we reflect on the blessings an all-wise Heavenly Father has bestowed upon us, His children, by bringing peace to the battlefield of war and comfort to the hearts of so many in this wonderful world where we live and which we call home”
Thomas S. Monson
“Let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!”
Henry Ward Beecher
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Melody Beattie
Wishing you all the best as we gather together to celebrate all that is wonderful in our lives this very minute–including you, my friends.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
“Sincerely giving thanks not only helps us recoginze our blessings but it also unlocks the doors of heaven.”
~Thomas S. Monson
this very minute.
The enormous pumpkin bounty–hee hee–from our garden. I know, I know. We’ll do better next year.
Homemade tortilla chips…baked, not fried.
Said that last part in my deep, manly radio voice.
Our living “paper doll.” This little chicky is a genius at those pesky last minute costumes–I tell you.
A busload of lovely, amazing, magnamonious–made that last word up–movie tickets. Woohooo–Breaking Dawn!!
This pretty little–or not so pretty and not so little–composter, that’s about to become my very best friend…and the garden’s too.
When Tink borrows Minnie’s gloves for the ball. Yeow.
The beautiful Autumn leaves right outside the window. We’re about to need some new rakes…a bunch of them!
The perfect, most scrumptious way to capture a ghost…a marshmallow one, that is.
The house I dream about in my sleep. That’s me peeking out the kitchen window. Well, I can see it, even if no one else can. :}
A lady and her kitty…for the moment…until she breaks free. But Miss Chompy is persistent and usually wins these matches–and Jiffy gets the hug of a lifetime.
We should all be so lucky!

What’s right in your world? Please tell me a few things you’re grateful for and I’ll get them on the “Gratitude List,” and on our quote rotator below and to the left.
It’s about time we updated those things–don’t you think?
Have a good weekend my friends!
