THANKSGIVING THOUGHTS







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


In honor of Thanksgiving, only one week away, it is time to thank some of the awesome women whose blogs I have enjoyed and who have so nicely and regularly commented on my blog the last 7 -1/2 half months. In no particular order-

Janie @ Panini Girl
Twyla @ Two Crazy Crafters

Oh!! {Sniff} you made my day! I've loved coming by your blog from my first trip over a few months back...we started out at about the same time. It's been a fun trip, huh?!

And thank you also for your very sweet comment on my blog. My mom is feeling much better and with any luck she'll get sprung from the hospital tomorrow. In time to get her nails done for the holidays, LOL. :-) I *definitely* have a little something extra to be thankful for this year.

xo,
Laura

Hi Linda,

You have inspired me to start a blog. I am not sure how much time I have to devote but maybe it will let me get some of my angst out of my system.
Love
your little sis,
Lisa
