Happy Turkey Weekend!

Even though my fam. doesn't really do a whole lot to celebrate thanksgiving anymore, i still really enjoy it. It's the time of year when the scenery isn't green but a whole whack of different wonderful colors. The season begins changing into cooler, cozier weather. I had read Amy's blog the other day about her happiness in wearing sweaters and coldness and i thought yuck. Now, i realize how much i like living somewhere that you can watch the seasons change every year. If i could stay inside when it gets to -40, i would like it even more, but hey-we're hardy here on the prairies. : )

Things that i am thankful for:

1. having a warm place to live and a family that cares (even more thankful after the schools i've worked in)
2. to be able to worship freely without persecution
3. that i live somewhere not affected by raging fires, hurricanes or earthquakes (yes tornados and frigid cold...but it somehow seems the lesser evil)
4. that i have some wonderful friends
5. i have a car which works...most of the time
6. As of this weekend i'm back on more regular payroll
7. I have a job where i can decide when and where i want to work
8. Apart from random bronchitis, i am healthy
9. for my singleness (which i may not want for forever, but am quite content currently : ) )
10. For all the blessings God has given me, even though i have deserved none
