Merry Christmas and a New Blog in the Making

Just thought I would let you know that I am slowly building a new blogging site and trying to lay the foundation for it.  I have just added a Christmas message to it and would love for you to see it!  I hope you enjoy!

Ready, Set, Balance!

GRATITUDE ATTITUDE

Thanksgiving has come and gone! I was blessed to have spent it at my Aunt’s house in Inman, SC.  It was the first time since 2004 that I was able to attend this family event and what a joy it was to be back there! Nine years is a long time to be away and the changes were significant.

Since my senior year of high school, cousins have been married, babies have been born, and some are on the way (not us-don't worry)! My cousin actually had a baby shower after the Thanksgiving meal! And why not? People had already flown in! 

Today’s invitation is to reflect on what you’re grateful for.  I know that Thanksgiving is past, and maybe now that the turkey’s been eaten! You carve out a moment to make a list of what you’re grateful for. 

Here’s mine!

My husband serving me when sick

As we remember our blessings and ways to appreciate them more, somehow some of our other problems, both big and small, can seem more manageable.  And if nothing else, giving thanks gives us a mental break as we manage stress. 

I would love to hear what you’re grateful for! It be fun if you shared in a comment below!
