I Am Thankful For...

this picture...


(My Grandma Bowler is on the left.)


It makes me feel a connection to the past. To those that came before and prepared a way for me to come to this earth with the blessings of their faith and the sacrifices they made for it.


And all who come from that.


I miss my Gram.


I am thankful for...



looking out into the congregation to find this little one exclaim in excitement "MOM" followed by her biggest grin, most delicate beauty pageant wave, and much practiced wink. I guess there are some pros to playing the organ.

I am thankful for...

a clean house.

For a little boy who went around and picked up all the toys without even being asked. He's was so full of the "Thanksgiving Spirit" this afternoon and it was fabulous!

I am thankful for ...

only having to wait for one hour at the DMV and for cars that are registered.

doctor appointments that last 15 minutes, and little 5 month old heartbeats.

all five lanes of the 95 that are finally opened!

actually being prepared to leave for St. George tomorrow!!! (So much better than my normal rush-forget everything-leave a messy house exit.)

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
