I struggled today.

Here I am pledging to bring back Thanksgiving...to place our focus on being thankful...to inspire others to do the same...and I'm tellin' you, today was no bueno.


{Ah Ha}  But, there is beauty in being able to embrace, and be thankful for, our shortcomings.  Knowing that you were short tempered, and realizing that it's something you could stand to work on, is something to be thankful for.  We all know people who seem to be unaware of their imperfections...

So, I searched...I dug...I read through books.  I tried desperately to be inspired so that I could write something about being thankful to inspire the masses {i.e. you...my small handful of readers}, but still nothing.

And so this is what I say...some days are just like that.  I'll try again tomorrow.  I'm sure you'll tune in because you found this exhilarating.  { :) }

And, I did think of some things to be thankful for today:

chili to warm my bones {we had sleet today}

Colin's sense of humor

Ty's honesty

Eden's little arms wrapped around my neck in a tiny hug

having something to look forward to

{I do have some fun Thanksgiving projects to do with the kids...hopefully I'll have some pics to share after this weekend}
