Thankful

It's that time of year! We get to eat like crazy (stuffing, cranberries, pie!) and think about our lives for an entire day. How cool is this?

There are no gifts to worry over, or wrap - just hanging out. That's my favorite part. I get up early and spend the day in the kitchen. People wander in and out. We eat. We talk. We sip coffee. We switch to wine.

I LOVE this holiday!So, about that thankful part...

I am very thankful to have 'met' so many of you fabulous people here in Blog World. Maybe I haven't seen your mugs in person (yet!), but I feel like I know many of you. I am very thankful for your visits. You make me like human beings more.
I'm thankful for the friends who put up with me year in and year out. Furry friends included.

And for my family (who I suppose COULD act like they don't know me, but they haven't so far).

For income, health insurance, and a safe and beautiful place to live.
And while I am being thankful, I'd like to thank Lorna for my lovely blog prize.
You know I like skellys, and this one is really beautiful. I was very lucky to win it on her blog giveaway. Look at this!Where would I be without art, or writing, or story, which always inspire me?

On Thanksgiving, I hope that you are with people that you love, and that there will be food aplenty. I hope that laughter and memories will be passed around the table with the mashed potatoes and gravy.

Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you!

  11. Ah, Pamee... I feel exactly the same! In a year, where I have (personally) lost three dear friends, LIFE has never seemed so precious. I have been blessed to have mwt several of our *Bligging Family*...and each one is warm, funny, intelligent and full of love. I look forward to the day when we, too, meet! Love your Skelly Prize....he has found a wonderful home to reside in!
