November of Thanksgiving 2010
Wednesday, November 24, 2010 at 02:45PM 
It's 2:45 and I just settled into my leather chair with my feet on the ottoman and a cup of tea at my elbow. I've been baking pies and cooking since about 7:30 this morning. I've got the dressing and scalloped cabbage ready to bake tomorrow and 5 pies cooling on the table in the sun room. Three pumpkins, one pecan, and one Pear Custard. The kitchen is cleaned up and the dishwasher busily washing measuring cups and spoons, wooden spoons, bowls, and spatulas. I've still got quite a bit to do to get ready for tomorrow--mostly cleaning and vacuuming and dusting--and I've still got tonight's supper to get ready but for now I'm going to rest a little bit.
I'm thankful for work and for rest. For anticipation of a fun day tomorrow with our children and grandchildren. I'm thankful that Tom has Friday off, too.
But right now I'm just thankful for a few minutes to count my blessings and give my thanks to God, who has given me love and salvation, family and friends, life and health.
