Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Nothing left to do but put the turkey in the oven. Yesterday I made make-ahead fresh cranberry sauce, make-ahead sweet potato casserole, make-ahead mashed potatoes, and make-ahead string bean casserole. I set the table, bought beautiful new gold candles, and placed the Cornucopia centerpiece overflowing with flowers. Therefore, today I get to just sit and enjoy the blessing of doing nothing but sniffing yummy smells. What a blessing breathing is.

MMMMmmmmm. Every breath I take is a gift of God. My prayer for me and my family and all of you is that our hearts would overflow with gratitude not just today, but every day, for every moment that God gives us, for every breath we take whether it contains the scents of a feast or of a famine. The breath itself is the blessing.

I put my little illustrated children's book "Tommy- A Story of Ability" on sale for 99 cents the next two days. It is a true story  about a blind, deaf puppy with a heart overflowing with gratitude for all he had...rather than despair over all he didn't have. It is a great reminder that we all have worth and value. The sale starts at 9 a.m. Pacific Time.

Seemed appropriate for this holiday. Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you Lord.
