Happy Thanksgiving...

Hello Thanksgiving.

Did I eat too much today? Yes.

Did I watch some football today? Yes.

Did I enjoy the company of my family today? Yes.

I’m one of those lucky people who is blessed with a large and amazing family. I enjoyed every minute with them and though they will never know how much I truly appreciate them…it was a lovely afternoon.

I’m thankful that my husband is my best friend.

I’m thankful for a wonderful family.

I’m thankful for fun and fabulous friends.

I’m thankful that we have jobs, homes, health and a country where we are free to celebrate.

I’m thankful that we take a day out of the year to eat great food, with amazing people to acknowledge how truly blessed we are in life.

I hope that your Thanksgiving Day was as wonderful as mine. I ate some delicious food, I enjoyed the company of my sweet family and ended the day snuggling with the pups on the sofa. A girl really can’t ask for much more.

Love,

Tuesday Thanks...

"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending."

It's Tuesday...and after a long and stressful work day I'm thankful....
                                                                                                     ... that tomorrow is a new day.

What are YOU thankful for?

Love,

Little Miss Thankful...

This Thursday we will celebrate Thanksgiving Day surrounded by our friends and family. A day that seems better known for gluttony and football, I decided maybe I ought to start giving thanks a bit earlier this week to get into the right spirit.

So here it is…Monday and I’m thankful for…Family.

“Oh Elyse that’s what EVERYONE says.”

I know. But do we really ever take the time to explain why we are thankful for them?

While I was sitting here trying to think of a way to best describe why I am thankful for family, my mind wandered to the Roger Hargreaves cartoons: Mr. Men and Little Miss.

Then it hit me…that’s the perfect way to describe them…

I’m thankful because my family is the perfect combination of Little Miss/Mr:

Lover

Instigator

Provider

Comedian

Faithful

Care taker

Fun

Grumpy

Encourager

Reality Check Provider

Fighter

Cheer

Snuggler

Friend

Helpful

Stress Ball

Optimist

Leader

Goofball

Worrier

Brave

Pessimist

Listener

I love all of my Mr. and Little Miss Family.

It’s Monday…what are YOU thankful for?  

Love,

Elyse
