Giving Thanks in November
Monday, November 3, 2008 at 08:21PM 
Today was amazing; November 3rd with temps in the mid 70's. It was a busy day so today I will do a list.
I am thankful for:
the beautiful warm weather
the storm of leaves that came pelting down all day long
the smell of a crunchy carpet of flimsy yellow leaves
the thirteen windows of my sunroom that afford me a panoramic view of the falling leaves
a roaster full of chicken cacciatore
having the whole family here for dinner
kitchen sink baths with Elliott
the delight of unexpected email from a cousin I haven't seen in many years
sitting on the patio long past dark with Tom last night
watching the jets, one after another, fly over our neighborhood as they begin their approach at O'Hare
hearing the big jet engines throttle down
seeing the stars peeking through the cloud cover
the end of the first grading period
the three grading periods that are left in our home school
my dishwasher
a freezer full of home cooked meals
laughing with Tom
a 'routine' day full of happiness
that happiness is routine in our home
that the election is tomorrow
and God is Sovereign over the affairs of men.
Rebecca is rounding up our thankful posts again today. I've read many of your posts already, but I read on the fly so I didn't take time to comment today. However, I am grateful for the way the thankful thoughts of others carry my own heart along with them. I'm heading over there now to read the rest of today's posts. See you there!

Thankfulness for contentment and happiness! This is my favorite way to be thankful as well- because there is so much to thank God for in each moment, I get behind if I wait for the climax ! I'm thankful that I'm getting to know you better!
What beautiful words you wrote!
You are very blessed person.
