i won't skip thanksgiving this year.

i love this time of year.

i love the anticipation of Christmas.

25 days of Christmas is about to start.

almost a month till we get to watch "a Christmas story"

12 times in a row.

im one of those people

that starts listening to Christmas music in july.

and i was talking to a friend

and he said "but what about thanksgiving, don't miss thanksgiving!"

he's right.

im a thanksgiving skipper.

i love it, don't get me wrong.

but 6 months out of my year is Christmas themed. it's true.

so this year i will embrace thanksgiving

i will put my favorite turkey sweater on.

i'm sure there is a thanksgiving movie i can watch

i will have to write a thanksgiving song.

something about the pilgrams and their sweet outfits.

everything sweet potato.

err wait..that already happens.

but thanksgiving here i come.

most of all i will be thankful.

i will be thankful for every blessing i've been given.

yesterday was a tough day.

and as im riding in the the aaa truck with kevin my aaa man.

and on the verge of tears.

i start telling him about all my blessings.

haha it was all i could do from crying

in a tow truck.

with a 7' tall man.

all i could do was tell him my blessings.

i know it's cheesy

but it's my blog and i can do what i want.

i'm thankful.

almost everyday i don't know how it happened

i did nothing to deserve them

but God has blessed me.

my family. they rock. they've taught me what it is to love.

thick and thin. they never quit.

i have friends that seriously i would do anything for.

and Lord knows have picked me up when i wanted to quit.

laughter.

i get to laugh a lot and that is a true gift.

and hope.

some call me crazy, most call me crazy actually.

but this hope, this never ending "anything can happen, i can do anything" hope.

i have hope.

i have more blessings than you have time to read.

but it's important to stop and say thanks.

even if you skip thanksgiving

because you think you're an elf.

happy thanksgiving!
