THANKSGIVING FOR TODAY: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2015.

I am so thankful for all the THANKSGIVING DAYS I have had in my life.  I love eating sweet potato pies @ Big Momma's house.  I love eating Turkey @ Grandma & Grandma's house.  My Grandpa actually grew his on potatoes, onion, etc.  I missed the desserts made by my Aunt Thelma (my rock)!  My Thanksgivings in Beaumont TX were great:  food, football games on TV, the women arguing with the men about the game.  Yes the ladies in my family know a lot about sports.  Irv was shocked to hear my mom and aunt school my uncles about football. ahhahahaha  HAHAHAHAHA  ROTFL  LOL  

I truly miss my friends from WashU who had a Thanksgiving Day with my in the dorm.  We all (19) did not have the money to go home for Thanksgiving, so we cooked the food in the dorm and celebrated together!  Actually had a full kitchen downstairs!  

I remember eating Thanksgiving dinner with my sisters in St. Louis & University City.  Our three families ate together for years.  Irv cooked the meats.  Julie always made her Broccoli and Rice casserole.  Jeanette always made the mac and cheese and all the desserts.  I was the corn bread dressing queen!  

I have truly enjoyed Thanksgiving in Huntsville & now in West Limestone County (Athens).   But the best Thanksgiving dinners ever have been at my son and daughter-in-law's house.  All we had to do was cook the Turkey since that don't eat meat. HAHAHAHHAHAHA  It was great!  Loved it!  

I have so much for which to be Thankful!

In February 1975 I thought I would be dead by 1985.  All the literature said I would not have lived past 10 years.  So I thought I would not get married.  The literature also said I would not have a child.  Gruesome things to know at 18 years old.  BUT GOD, sent a wonderful man, gave me a healthy baby, let me see 59 years old, and gave me a beautiful daughter-in-law and 6 wonderful Boobies.

THANK YOU JESUS!  I AM SO THANKFUL!  (me singing and all saying shut up!)

I feel like going on. Energized, reinvigorate, refreshed, renewed, empowered, electrified, motivated, strengthened, enable and I'm running!

THANKSGIVINGS FOR TODAY, NOV 23, 2015

I am thankful for every second, minute, hour, day, week, year I am able to live and do the Lord's will for my life!  Can't take for granite since I may have not made it this far!  I am thankful for the people God placed in my life.  Sometimes later than sooner I realize why they are/were placed in my life.  Thank you Jesus!

THANKSGIVING FOR TODAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2015

I am so thankful that I have a husband who is truly concerned about me.  To most, when your husband ask about how was your day, you respond about the job or the errands you ran.  For me he is truly trying to gather how was my health for that day.  He knows I don't complain when I don't feel well.  It is a blessing to have a husband who is a R.N. and can help with communication with my doctors.  He helps me with dialysis, etc.  I can be truly exhausted with the biggest smile on my face, but he'd see right through.  I have found it is easier to say "LOVELY, LOVELY" instead of how I REALLY feel.  But thank God for imparting wisdom into my husband to ensure I do approach my limits.  I am passionate about education.  I feel the future of our children is bleak without more than adequate education.  It is not good to be good enough.  They must soar and not give up.  Each success must spiral them into a higher destiny over and over and over again.  So I am so thankful of the successes I read about involving our future generations.  I believe they will be no nonsense people and will serve in our government to restore pride for America.  I am so thankful for friends and family who give back to the community as instilled by our ancestors.  I am thankful America has come to realize the destruction instilled on generations by private prisons.  I am so thankful that common core was adopted to teach our children analytical skills beyond rote memory.  So I guess my thankfulness gift basket is over flowing.  IJS  :-)
