Give Thanks (embroidery design) Pictures, Images and PhotosEvery Sunday on my personal blog, WIPs and Chains, is “Happy Sunday, where we take the time to stop & share what we’re happy about or grateful for from the past week.  But with Thanksgiving only a couple of days away, I thought it would be nice to take a moment to consider even more of what we should be truly grateful for.

You guys can go ahead & start, & I’ll chime in later…

All right, then, I’ll start… ;-)

I AM THANKFUL FOR my health, above & beyond almost anything else. Having just been through surgery & a month of not feeling very well at all, I am reminded of just what a blessing good health truly is!

I AM THANKFUL FOR my family & friends. Honestly, I’m not sure who else would put up with me. :evil:

I AM THANKFUL FOR my babies. Every single one of my fuzzy little loves is a blessing, & I wouldn’t trade them for anything in the world.

I AM THANKFUL FOR my wonderful agent & editors. Again, I’m not sure who else would be willing to put up with me sometimes. I am also extremely thankful for all of the assistants & copy editors, & everyone who works in the production & art departments at my publishing houses. They are so often the unsung heroes who work behind the scenes to put what I write into book form & make them look so darn good when they finally hit the shelves. :mrgreen:

I AM THANKFUL FOR my lovely, fabulous, priceless readers, who hang out at my blog, send me touching letters, post terrific reviews, & always run out to buy my latest book!  You guys keep a smile on my face & make locking myself in a room alone to tap away at the keyboard for hours on end completely worthwhile. :grin:

And finally, I AM THANKFUL FOR holidays like these that allow us to take a break from the hustle & bustle of everyday life, giving us a chance to reflect on just how lucky we truly, truly are! Thank you, Thanksgiving!

I hope you’re feeling as lucky & thankful as I am this holiday season!
