Are You Thankful?

Ah...November. When you hear that it is November, do you think of Thanksgiving? Or maybe it is hunting season you think of. No matter what, you should put an extra special effort in thinking about being thankful. Now, don't get me wrong, you should ALWAYS be thankful for what you have, but a little extra thank you can't hurt during November.

So what are you thankful for? I am thankful I have a wonderful husband and two amazing daughters (although I am not thankful that they live so far away). I am thankful I have a job (of course sometimes I don't want this job!), food to eat, and a roof over my head. In your blog today, tell me what you are thankful for.

So, who loves Thanksgiving? I don't really care one way or the other. It is nice to see family, but I don't get all excited to eat a lot or watch football all day. I have only made a turkey once for Thanksgiving! Needless to say, I am not the cook of the day. This year is no different. We are off to Ann Arbor to visit my parents and have dinner. My husband is going to see the Lions play with my brother and his family. After the game they will arrive hoping for a beautiful dinner that my mother and I have cooked. Should be a slow, but interesting day.

Do you have a tradition for Thanksgiving? I am not sure I really do, but it is the only day I get to eat pumpkin pie and I always use to make jello pie because that is the only pie my one of daughters likes. In a comment to me, tell me one thing that you ONLY do on Thanksgiving. I won't except and an answer of nothing, or I don't know! Think about it!!
