Thanksgiving


I don't know about you, but I absolutely LOVE Thanksgiving! What is there not to like about this holiday. Great food, family, gratitude and no stress! (at least for me, we're not eating at my house!) I feel this holiday is very important. I think I am preaching to the choir here, but don't you think that the world would be a better place and people would be happier if they realized all they had to be grateful for? I have so much. I will do some extra thanking to my Heavenly Father this week. I have a great family. We are all healthy. We love each other dearly. I have the gospel in my life. I have an eternal marriage. We have a home in a neighborhood we love. I have terrific friends. We have enough money to support ourselves. Sometimes I feel life is too good to be true. Why do I deserve to be so blessed? I guess I shouldn't ask why, I should just be grateful. And I am! Happy eating next week everyone. I am certainly looking forward to it already! I challenge all of you this next week to write daily in a gratitude journal (if you don't already) in celebration of this great holiday of thanks. Enjoy!

Thanks for the reminder... I also love Thanksgiving- we are going to California and I am so excited, I can hardly stand it (just dreading the packing... etc....) You are a great gal- so positive and nice- thanks for being a great example to me...

I am thankful for friends, food and friend's that make good food. Thanks for all that you do Brooke. You always are so grounded and in touch with what is most important in life.

Wow, I'm glad that there is someone in the world who thinks I'm grounded. I don't think I've ever heard someone say that about me!
