I'm Thankful...

Thanksgiving is past now and we are well on our way into the Christmas season. But, I must confess that I was dragged into December! A really wretched stomach virus attacked last week and I was afraid November was going to take me with it when it went! I haven't been that sick in a long time. When I finally got up enough energy to look in the mirror after a couple of days of - well, you understand... - I was horrified at what was looking back at me! I've been trying to lose a few pounds but this was a little more drastic than I was going for!

But, in keeping with the spirit of the holiday season (and the new perspective gained from my missions trip experiences), I have alot to be thankful for. Some of the things these past few days have made me thankful for:

* Gatorade (yes, really!)

* hot showers

* Momma (who kept me company for a couple of hours when I really didn't want to be alone)

* an enthusiastic son who couldn't keep his mind on school but thought if he decorated, I might
decide to stay around for Christmas

and

* a wonderful husband who took such good care of me that
I have returned to the "land of the living"
