I can not imagine what it was like for the Pilgrims when they came here, a land that was wild, untamed, and scary.
I am so thankful for all of our ancestors that came before us. We are truly who we are and where we are today because of all they endured. I have some very historic roots in this country, that started on this land way before it was a country. I thank them all for their sacrifices.
I am so very thankful for all my family and friends, and for all my fur babies. God has blessed us in so many ways I can not list them all.
We have a roof over our heads, food for our table, heat to keep us warm, decent health. water, electricity and tons of things we take for granted. YES, we are blessed to have these things, as much of the world does not.
We are blessed with freedom! True, we gripe about that sometimes (that things are being taken away) - but we still have the freedom to speak of it and write about it.
I am very thankful for YOU, all the friends that I have made around the world. I just find that the most awesome thing ever. That we can come together with ideas and thoughts that are so similar, from so many different places.
I do believe that there are no accidents in life - we were all suppose to come together for a reason. I hope we continue to add to our little circle and grow in new ways.
We may all be from different regions - but we are still all the same. We ALL want a good life and we want our time and monies to be used wisely and for the greater good.
God bless you all - no matter how near or far you are on this earth.
Thank you for being so kind and thoughtful and for being friends. Thank you for sharing and being teachers to one another. You are all PRICELESS GEMS!!!!!!!
