Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks for thinking of us over the holidays. I woke this morning to a bright sunshine (still sleep with my blinds open). The first thing I thought was how thankful I am that Brian is healthy again. Last night I was telling Tye what all we were doing for Thanksgiving. He said...and my dad? What about my dad? I said, what do you mean? Then he smiled and said, he's having Thanksgiving with God. I guess I'm getting things across to him better than I sometimes think I am.

Several people have asked me how I'm doing, getting ready for the holidays. We faced our first holiday without Brian at Easter, when he wasn't even buried yet, so being without him for the holidays seems to be becoming the norm. I am perfectly capable of putting up my own Christmas lights and basically doing whatever needs to be done, or figuring out how to do it or who to ask. But it is more the fact that I want to be standing at the bottom of the ladder while Brian puts of the Christmas lights, or I want to have time to do some baking, or I want Daddy to put the tree together or help with wrapping presents. It is becoming more that things just aren't the way I want them to be, not that I can't do it alone...although sometimes I wonder.

I intended to log on here today and make a list of all the things I'm thankful for. My head feels a bit foggy this morning, not at all that I'm not thankful for many things, just that I don't feel like writing about it all right now. I hope you all take time to think about what you are thankful for today, and be sure to include your health as one of those.
