TRYING TO BE THANKFUL....STILL

Two kids home from school....one with a fever...one *cough, clearing throat* swears he has a sore throat. He'll probably end up with a fever by end of day anyways...so I went with the sore throat and let him stay home...he jumped up and down....that sick! Thankful....well....this should be some of my alone time, but we have had a lazy Monday morning!

I am so wanting to start Christmas....decorating, wrapping, shopping...but I am seriously not wanting to rush Thanksgiving. I found this quote today while blog stalking and it put me right where I needed/wanted to be this week.

"May gratitude continue to take over your heart -- crowding out worry, fear, jealousy, envy, hate and the litany of other useless emotions."

Awww...that feels good. I'm pondering it. And, I am thankful again for many things. Even one sick and one not-so-sick kid crowding my personal space today!

  2. Dropping by from SISTas~ we've been travelling that path of "almost illness", which is really aggravating right before a holiday :-S Hope everyone gets healthy quick :-)

I heart comments! Just one rule that I'm sure your momma taught you...if you don't have anything nice to say...please don't say anything at all!
