Giving Thanks

It seems everyone has something to be thankful for, actually we all have many things but sometimes we have trouble seeing the positive things and only can see the negative ones.  I have always been a positive person, I always have been real, I am what I am.  Some people have trouble believing this and I have always wondered why they have to try to discover a different me when I am just me.  I have decided I will never know the answer, I can only "guesstimate" an answer.  I choose to be positive in my life.  Does this mean I never get down or get sad, no as with human nature everyone has down times.  I simply choose not to let those become public moments for others to see as it brings them down too.  Being positive, being thankful, smiling, singing, playing the piano, sharing, that is what lifts the spirits of myself and everyone else around me!  My parents instilled this in me and I am thankful for that.  I have much to be thankful for, very much.  I have been blessed beyond measure.  I have a Husband who loves me just the way I am, I have two grown children that call me everyday and say "I love you", I have a son-n-law that is such a precious young man and a wonderful addition to our family, I have two brothers that treat me with respect and much love, I have so much more than this, extended family, Brothers and Sisters-n-law, Nieces and Nephews, Aunts and Uncles, I have a wonderful Mother-n-law and Father-n-law and my own Mom and Dad that are absolutely the top of the world in my eyes and heart!  I also am very thankful to have the opportunity to use my camera to give others a special keepsake for their memory books.  I am so thankful for all of these things, but the greatest blessing I have in my life is knowing Jesus Christ, the son of God as my personal savior!  He has provided every blessing, planned every event and lined everyday of my life out for me, I just simply follow Him.  I hope and pray you all have a very blessed Thanksgiving at your own home with your loved ones around you.  Share with someone a smile, then tell the world what you are thankful for.  I believe a small amount of positive can create an entire pot full of positives!

Happy Thanksgiving to each of you!
