Remembering to be Thankful

With just under two weeks until Thanksgiving, I am seeing requests on Facebook etc, to post something each day for which I am thankful. Unfortunately I am not a daily poster on my Facebook but I am trying to do this anyway. I think it is a good practice, year round, and not just at this time of year. But if now is when we begin, that is a good thing. I also find that trying to just think of one thing specifically for each day can be much more difficult than just sitting down and counting all your blessings at once. The thought process by which you choose that one thing to be thankful for that day can take you on some long journeys mentally.
Today is a grey day, no sun and a constant chilly drizzle coming down from the clouds. I posted on my Facebook that I am thankful for the memory of yesterday's sunshine. Tomarrow I will be thankful for the birth of my son, 22 years ago and the joy he continues to bring into our lives. He was a calm, happy baby. Today he is a kind, caring person.

Gingersnaps

Nothing says fall like the sweet smell of warm gingersnap cookies! And these adorable treats were made with the new animal cookie cutters sent to me by my sister on my birthday this year! There is a bear cub, a moose, a fox, a hedgehog, and a squirrel. A little chocolate sprinkle for the eye and they are as cute as they are yummy! Mmmmm, hot cup of tea and a plate of gingersnaps!
