Thanksgiving!

What are you thankful for?
I am thankful for my family. The quirks, the craziness, the very fact that no matter what or where or anything they are and always will be my family.
I am so thankful for Rick. What a guy. I am loved, spoiled and taken care of.
I am thankful for a daughter and son-in-law and my darling little grand babies.
Oh, I can't forget the little dog or Rick's cat.
Of course there are many more things, especially the things that most of us take for granted to those things that some may not think of. For me it is sometimes not easy to be thankful for my AFO, yet it helps me to be able to walk and not trip over my foot. I wish I didn't have it, yet I'm grateful that I do.
I actually was able to feel thankful for the talent of being able to play the piano and organ yesterday. I was very grateful for being able to play.
What about you?

November

Fall is in the air, with a hint of the coming winter.
We have leaves falling in our yard. The big spiders have disappeared, so far not into the house. Ralphie (the little dog) and Precious (the white cat) are getting along a little better, they are sisters now and should be more tolerant of each other. Precious is spending more time inside. She comes into the room where we are and plays. Sometimes Ralphie even tries to chase her now.
Poprock still has green toes, he says they stay until the Ducks lose. Go Ducks!
There are thoughts of the holidays. Ideas for presents.
I love this time of year. It's a good time to remember the past and cherish it. To dream about what the future holds and make plans. A good time to make the most of each day and live.
We went to Aunt Erma's Celebration of Life this week. There were a few bitter/sweet moments while looking at the photos and seeing several of her and dad together.
