I Am Thankful

In recognition of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, here are some things that I have been thankful for this week.

Well, if Erin isn't going to mention her winning experience on her blog, I am going to mention it on mine.  This past weekend she won  a give away on Jenn Cooper's blog that I had hoped to win. I usually don't bother entering blog drawings, but found this little owl collection cute. I didn't really expect to win, but I am sure thankful that one of us won.

I took a knitting tutorial today on scarfs. These scarfs are too gorgeous to pass up, and the only way you can get one is to knit it yourself. Although I have screwed something up with my last few loops, I am certain that I WILL finish this scarf and I will be so thankful when I do.  It might be July before I get it completely done, so if you see me on Independence Day with a scarf around my neck, just compliment it and do not ask any questions.

I also attended PEP Talks again today. That group seems to grow every week. I look forward to these meetings each Tuesday and I am thankful that they are offered. Today we talked about the importance of Affirmation. I made a list of sixteen things that I love about Devin. I think I will give it to him on his 16th birthday
.
I am also thankful for all my blog readers...those who "follow" my blog, those who "bookmark" and check in on the Hayes Hayes Happenings regularly, those who search for my blog...and even those who won't admit that they check in on the Hayes House Happenings blog because they don't want me to know how much they really care.
I am thankful for all of you.

Tomorrow I am looking forward to lunch with Brookelynn. It is the annual Thanksgiving Cafe at her school. Lots of parents will show up to enjoy the first round of turkey, dressing and all the fixings this holiday season. I am thankful that I have the opportunity to join her at school for all of her events and celebrations.

Thursday, I will be in Murfreesboro all day and Friday we plan to visit mom and take dinner to her house.
I will deal with Saturday and Sunday when it gets here. It's going to be another go, go, go weekend.
I am thankful that we are blessed with somewhere to go and something to do all of the time. There are many lonely people in the world that have nothing to look forward to.
