Thursday Thoughts: An Attitude of Gratitude

November has come around again, and thoughts turn toward Thanksgiving.  I love Thanksgiving;   I love being able to gather with loved ones, and I love having a holiday where the focus is on being grateful for all that we have. 

This short video explains that sometimes we become so accustomed to our surroundings that we fail to truly see the beauty around us, and encourages us to develop the ability to always see the good in the world.  I might have shared it before, but I think it deserves repeating. 



Thanks for November, when it is so easy to remember how blessed we are.

It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
