I have spent the majority of this week sick in bed. Congested, achy, coughing and miserable. Just today I have felt life flowing in my veins again! We are planning to be away next week for Thanksgiving, at least, I am hoping that I’m up to the trip. Our entire family has passed croup around, but I think everyone is well now except for me. I’m a bit behind on school, making Christmas gifts, and just about everything else, but at least I’m here! Down, but not out…not yet, anyway. I’m so thankful to my husband for keeping us all afloat the last few days. He’s cooked and cleaned and done laundry and rallied the kids to get their chores done, too! He’s been my life saver!

In case I don’t have time to write again, I want to wish you all a great Thanksgiving. One lesson I’m learning really well this year is that there is always something for which I can be grateful. I am blessed beyond measure. Everyday is Thanksgiving Day for me!

With love,
