Well, I have to say I am terribly sorry for my unexcused absence from this blog, as well as Emma's (for those of you who don't know, my twins computer is not working thus she is unable to get on the blog until the repairs are made. Thank you for your thoughtful understanding!)
I myself was gone, with my family for the wonderful holiday of Thanksgiving! I hope you all had amazing holidays, whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not!
We have so much to be thankful for.
Food.
Clothing.
Shelter.
Friends.
Family.
Love.
LIFE.
It's amazing to me how we can go through life and not know what we are thankful for. There are people in Africa and Mexico, impoverish nations who are more thankful than we ever could be.
I heard the story of a women which brought tears to my eyes. The woman had four children and they were on the verge of starvation and had barely enough to get by. The shack that they lived in was just that, a shack. The man went to the woman and said to her this:
"Ma'am if I could give you one thing- anything- what would you like?"
The woman thought for a moment then looked at the man with smiles dancing in her eyes "I would really like a window."
A window. That woman could have had anything yet all she wanted was a window. How selfless is that? Even if you don't have that pair of shoes you really want, or you weren't able to go the theatre with your friends, think of how much you have to be thankful for. How much you already have.
So let's hear what you have to say: WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR?

I am thankful for what has made me who I am. I am thankful for the good, the bad, and the embarassing because without it all I would be a different person. I don't want to be anyone else. I am thankful for the people who have shaped me and the events that have developed me. I am thankful for the opportunities where I can change others and for the friends I can grow with.
