What If Money did Not Matter

Maybe Christmas doesn't come from the store
Maybe Christmas perhaps, means a little bit more...............
The Grinch

You have only 3 choices in life
Give up
Give in
Give it all you've got

They say if you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy.

Twinkle Toes..........our beautiful family member Sarah had a Thanksgiving miracle
She moved her big toe.........(as posted by her lovely Mother) in a video on Facebook)
When prayers go up Blessings come down.................

A special thank you from Sarah:  As posted on Facebook

This year sheds a whole new light on what it means to be thankful. I am so thankful for the love and support I have received from my family and friends. Nothing compares to the feeling I get when I read a comment, get a phone call or am visited by someone... There has been so much light that has come out of a dark time. Thank you to everyone!!!!

Latest update on Sarah from her Sweetheart Sean
Sean Foley
great morning! we had an amazing thanksgiving yesterday, and got to experience a miracle last night. before bed sarah was fighting to get her right toe to move, and she did it..she was crying and in a bit of disbelief thinking it was a spasm..NOPE. her mom started talking her through it again and we got her to do it 2 more times.. please keep the love, prayers, and positive energy sent her way, they're working. WGT

Thankful

Thank you for the food we eat, thank you for the world so sweet, thank you for the birds that sing, thank you God for everything♥

Lord, behold our family here assembled. We thank thee for this place in which we dwell, for the love that unites us, for the peace accorded to us this day, for the health, for the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful, for our friends in all parts of the earth.
Give us courage, gaiety, and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften us to our enemies. Bless us, if may be, in all our innocent endeavours. If may not, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come.May we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune loyal and loving to one another.
As the clay to the potter, as the windmill to the wind, as the children of their sire, we beseech of Thee this help and mercy for Christs sake. Amen.

~~Robert Louis Stevenson

Remember every day is one to give thanks♥

O Thou Who has given us so much, mercifully grant us one more thing: a grateful heart.
~George Herbert

For each new morning with its light
For rest and shelter of the night
For health and food, for love and friends
For everything thy Goodness sends.
Ralph Waldo Emerson


November loves the pilgrim soul in you and longs to erase the fretting from your frazzled face.  With the holidays fast approaching, have you ever grumbled your way this month's gifts of grace?  Family, feasting, and fussing might be en route, but comfort charms, a winter's tale or two, sumptuous pajama suppers and splendor in the glass.  The stunning ordinary in the simply overlooked.  Let that cup runneth over with sensuous self-preservation.
From the Book
Romancing the Ordinary
by Sarah Ban Breathnach

best of all
is to preserve everthing in a pure , still heart,
and let there be for every pulse a thanksgiving,
and for every breath a song.

Everyday Thanksgiving

It's a very foggy morning here

Be safe out there everyone on the roads♥♥

Update on Sarah for her loving Mother

Kristina Paras

Together at last!!!! Sean and James are just touching down in Denver. Just the medicine we all need! Happy Safe. Full of Gratitude, Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend Everyone! — with Sarah Murphy and 2 others at Denver International Airport (KDEN).

Everyday Thanksgiving

Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the
alarm ring's each morning,
Thank you, Lord, that I can hear
There are those who are deaf.

Even though I keep my eyes closed tightly against
the morning lights, as long as possible.
Thank you, Lord, that I can see.
There are those who are blind.
 

Even though I huddle in ray bed and put off the physical
effort of rising,
Thank you, lord, that I have the strength to rise.
There are many who are bedfast.
 

Even though the first hour of my day is hectic;
When socks are lost, toast is burned, and tempers are short,
Thank you, Lord, for my family.
There are many who are lonely.
 

Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures
in the magazines, and the menu is sometimes unbalanced,
Thank you, Lord, for the food we have,
There are many who are hungry.
 

Even though the routine of my job is often monotonous,
Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work,
There are many who have no work.
 

Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day,
and wish my modest circumstances were not quite so modest
Thank you, Lord, for the gift of life,

To all of my American Family and Friends and all those celebrating Thanksgiving

this week..............Let us all focus on our many blessings and say Thank you

This year on  my tree I want lots of birds, blue 

and baby's first christmas ornaments

My Mom was most definitely beside me on my early morning walk this 

morning I captured that white shadowy image I always see in my pictures

when I especially feel her near......My own Personal Guardian Angel from Heaven

My neighbor has a beautiful gold angel and star in her window

Angels bless you at Christmas and always

From a Christmas card I sent out a few years ago

White birch branches in everyone's Christmas pots

I love our neighbors blue lights

The Ride of Life

Life is truly a ride. We are all strapped in and no one can stop it. When the doctor slaps your behind he is ripping your ticket and away you go. As you make each passage from youth to adulthood to maturity, sometimes your put your arms up and scream. Sometimes you hold on to that bar in front of you. But the ride is the thing. I think the most you can hope for at the end of life is that your hair is messed , your out of breath and you didn't throw up ~ Jerry Seinfeld
