A time to be thankful......

I am so very blessed and have many things to be thankful for. At this Thanksgiving time, I want to list some of the things I'm thankful for - not necessarily in order - I just wrote them as they popped into my head. This is just the beginning of a list that could go on forever. I truly am blessed.
