What are you grateful for this season?
While my family was evacuated from our house during the recent southern California firestorms, I kept repeating two mantras: we will have Thanksgiving in our house, and the fire wants to be stopped. These thoughts protected my sanity, and in the end, my house (and our entire neighborhood) was saved.
Don’t forget the meaning of the season. Remember to focus on an attitude of gratitude and thanksgiving.

I'm grateful that I have work to do to keep a roof over my family's head and put food on our table. I'm also grateful that I had a little extra to help out others who had a great need. I am also very grateful for chicken because I love roasted chicken! Although I'm looking forward to some turkey this Thanksgiving. :)

This time of year is wonderful for reflection. As I drove down the street into my neighborhood,I noticed some breathtakingly beautiful trees. Note to self, find out what species they are. The hues were golden and pink and green...it was really quite stunning. It made me realize I hadn't taken a moment yet to admire the changing seasons. Now that I have, I feel blessed to live in a part of the country where the trees turn. I smiled the rest of the way home, just thankful for earth's beauty.
