To my followers

Please visit me at my new blog site:

https://mistysbloggingkingdom.wordpress.com/

I found nothing wrong with Blogger, but decided to switch to WordPress.  And for a limited time, my new blog is snowing!

I'll leave this up a while longer to point people over there. There are already new posts up, so you don't want to miss anything. In addition to my travel or musings, I've added a couple of more things like Music on Monday and Wacky Wednesday.

the day after

Black Friday. The day after the o-my-gosh-did-I-really-eat-that-much day. Day two in a much needed four day weekend. Call it what you will, but today is the day after Thanksgiving.

Although I could not be with my extended family, I was blessed to have my husband and children around my table. The turkey was moist, the potatoes smooth, the onion rings on the green bean casserole crunchy. All was perfect. Then we topped it off with pumpkin pie and coffee. A perfect end to a perfect meal.

Once again, 'tis the Season.
So as Christmas approaches, let all of us remember the good times and resist the commercialism and stress that seems to get injected into this time.  Let it be instead a time of Joy, a time to remember family and friends, a time to reflect on the God who made all this possible, a time to continue the attitude of thanksgiving we enjoyed yesterday, being thankful for all we have been given and all we are able to give to others.

Finding things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving

These are just some of the things that I am thankful for that would like to share with each of you. There are of course friends and family - all of whom I am very thankful for, but in the interest of privacy I will not post their pictures. I will keep this list to more universal things, such as:


Beaches

Mountains

Freedom

Puppies

Blue skies

Bicycles

Town squares


Palace
Carriages
 
May you remember always the things that have blessed your life today and throughout the rest of the year. Enjoy the beauty around you.
