I am thankful that November is over and Christmas is coming!  I love Christmas!  Have I said that before?  I love the Christmas season…everyone is kinder and more friendly.  People smile and say “Merry Christmas” to each other.  I love it!

How could I not mention my favorite color?  I am thankful for pink.  It is feminine and soft and makes me feel pretty.  I love how I look in the color pink, and I love how I feel.  I love pink!

I am thankful for the Internet.  I can find just about anything on there.  There is so much information out there, and I love finding obscure facts.  I am pretty darn good at searching, and have found things in seconds what my mom or my boss had been looking for for hours.  When The Doctor was working on his Doctorate, he stayed home and did his research on the internet, instead of having to go to college libraries and spend hours there and pay for photocopies. 

I am thankful for scents.  There are so many scents that I love, and the memories that they invoke:

  • Baby powder and rubbing alcohol – this reminds me of my children when they were babies.
  • Sawdust – this reminds me of my dad getting wood in the summer for our fireplace.
  • Rain on the cement on a hot summer day – this reminds me of playing in the rain.
  • Cinnamon pinecones at Christmas time – this reminds me of Christmas!
  • Polo cologne – this reminds me of my hubby.

There are more, so many more!  I am thankful I can smell!

When you do the best you can, you can be at peace, and with the Lord’s spirit, you can feel content.

-John Bytheway.
