Ann Voskamp had a wonderful post on her site today about thanksgiving.
I confess, I haven't been "feeling" too thankful lately, and am afraid part of the reason
is that I have been out of the habit of SAYING thank-you
for the ENDLESS blessings my Heavenly Father has lavished on me.
I'm thankful for her web-site because over and over, she reminds me
how beneficial this is in one's life. She has a "free printable" at the bottom of
today's post (which I quickly printed out) that says:
KEEP CALM AND COUNT ON.
So, I'm counting on....
beautiful fall leaves and
lovely fall walks

hugs
