As I look at this time of thanksgiving I can't help but feel less than who I want to be for a moment, but with a progressive disease I know all too well, next year I may be unable to do some of the hings I am doing this year. So being thankful at this time of year for what I can do and for the blessings I do have is so important for my spirit. It takes more effort to forge through than to sit in self pity but if you keep at it soon it becomes a habit.  None of this is possible without my faith and God's blessings.  Is life perfect? No.  Do I have everything I want? No.  But with Him I have everything I need. Being thankful - I am not perfect at it and sometimes I work at it harder some days than others but I do know being thankful fills my heart with joy and takes my focus off of me. It brightens my mood and gives me energy.   This is last year when just the 2 of us this year we will have 8! I would have never guessed we would have company this year. Eve
