What are you thankful for?

In a few days it’ll be Thanksgiving. It’s a time to dwell on that for which we’re thankful.

So, I thought I’d share a bit about what I’m thankful for. There’s too much to be able to list in one post, but here’s a small peek into what I’m thankful for.

God and His willingness to love a screw up like me.

My hubby. He takes such fantastic care of me and treats me like a precious treasure.

My family: Mom, step dad, sister, her hubby, and their daughter.

My family: This is my dad and his wife Penny

More famly: My brother-in-law and his family

More family: My mother and father in law

I'm thankful for my health. And hopefully it'll hold out on my 100-mile bike ride this Saturday.

I couldn't possibly list photos of all my writer friends or I might overload the internet, but here is one of me and two of them heading up to a writers retreat this past summer.

So, what are you thankful for?

Musical Monday

What do you think of Alecia Beth Moore?

You might not recognize that name because she’s better known as Pink.

Now, you might know, if you follow my Muscial Mondays much, that I like a wide variety of music and musicians for that matter. When some people find out I like Pink, they arch an eyebrow at me and say,

YOU like Pink?”

Yeah, they pretty much do the same when they find out I have a couple tattoos as well.

It makes me chuckle.

Believe it or not, I have Eminem in my iTunes play list as well. I’m a firm believer that you can find great messages in all different types of music AND people.

You may know that I have my masters degree in Mental Health Therapy and once was an Addictions Therapist. So, maybe it was just the title of the song, Sober, that drew me in because of my history with addictions, but whatever the reason, I’m glad.

Many of her songs, no matter how controversial they may be, always challenge me. I hope you take the time to read the lyrics and/or listen to them on the video, because they blew me away.

Specifically the following phrases:

How do I feel this good sober?

And

The quiet scares me ’cause it screams the truth

~~~

I know what those lyrics mean to me . . . which I’ll share another time,  but what do they mean to you?

So– who saw New Moon?

So, those of you who saw it, did you like it? What’d you think?

I’ll go watch it when the hype cools down. Yeah, I know, I’m boring, and I’m so okay with it.

Friday Funnies

Happy Friday, everyone. Hope your week has treated you well.

I love roaming the internet to find funny videos . . . and it always seems to come down to people falling that make me laugh so hard.

Why is that?

Maybe because I’ve fallen enough in my life to have spurred on some serious laughing fits myself. LOL.

So, take a minute, watch this, and you’ll be laughing in no time.

Make it a great day, everyone.
