So, you'd think it was snowing outside by the way I am dressed. I dont like the cold. This is my Monday morning ritual. I go for a 4 mile walk each weekday morning. I usually like to go with a friend but she pooped out on me this morning.....I wont mention any names though...Linda Hogge. This morning was colder than usual and I wanted to be bundled up. Ah....all cozy. So, Thanksgiving is around the corner and I am so thankful. Had a great Sunday with great speakers that came to our Ward "The Bacchus'" what a great couple and good talks. We also got to visit with Mike's neices as they invited us to dinner at their house....cute girls. I really miss my family this time of year. Especially Mom and my sisters. There's nothing like family for the holidays. We'll be spending Thanksgivng with Jerry and Rhea and their kids this year down in Salida.....looking forward to our visit with them on Thursday. I am thankful for my morning walks and for the many many blessings that I have recieved this year by the hand of my Father in Heaven. I am especially thankful that we will be keeping our little home.......I complained at first when we had to move into it that it was just too small.....now I am just thankful that it is ours. I am thankful for my wonderful children who I am so proud of. So thankful for Michael's faithful service to his Father in Heaven. Unfortunately they dont celebrate Thanksgiving in Australia....and we didnt hear from him this week....but I am still Thankful that he is doing the single most important thing he could be doing in his life right now and I know it will shape him for the rest of his life. I am thankful for the temple that it is so close by and that I can go there to feel close to my Father in Heaven. I am thankful for my husband and his patience and support. I am thankful for good uplifting friends and I am so thankful for the gospel in my life...what would I do with out it??
