Thanksgiving?

Wonderful, Thankful, Grateful, Hopeful, and Blessed

It's yet another year having gone by to bring in the Thanksgiving season 2008. This year it's different though. Around every table with every meal will be prayers of thankfulness for our New President Elect Barack Obama. I know that it will be so around our table. Along with the thankfulness of having food on our table.

Prices have risen so high in the supermarkets, that I too have begun using coupons, and a little known secret that they don't announce is that Tuesday-Thursday, the prices are less than Friday - Monday. I have been watching this for weeks, and have found it to be so, but due to a busy work schedule don't always have the time to get out to the supermarket during the not so busy days of the week. But you can best believe that next week, it won't be so. If you are going to get your vegetables fresh, you can be sure that they will raise the prices next Sunday, and keep them up through Friday. Sad as it is, that's where a lot of our extra money has gone, so we don't really have a lot of money for the holidays to spend on gifts.

I have already begun making my handmade gifts. I know that they possibly seem a little hoaky, but you can best believe that when I make something from love, it is definitely cherished more from my heart!

My post crossing has been going on now for an entire year. I have received such beautiful cards from around the world, and wonderful gifts of love from people all over the world. I will ever cherish these cards. Site to view my blessed cards to come in the future.

Since my surgical procedure in September 2006, I finally found a permanent part-time position, and have now been working for more than 6 months! Glory to God! I am so thankful, because when you lay around sick and in pain, you are possibly toxic to people in your family without even knowing it. The pictures of my family two years ago, versus pictures of my family now are remarkable. There was a lot of suffering, and it wasn't on purpose, it was sickness. So I can really identify with those who are depressed, and cannot seem to make things happen in a positive direction. But honestly, as scared as I was to enter the working world, the thought of being broker than broke caused me to go to a temporary job agency, where they believed in my work experience and sent me out on jobs. This is how I began. And right now, I would recommend that way of beginning for anyone just getting started again, after having been broke, depressed, and sick. I cannot help but feel that there are jobs out there, it's just that some people feel that they are over qualified, or underqualified, or they don't pay what they are looking for. Well, honestly, you won't get anything if you don't get out there.

I want to wish you all a wonderful holiday next week. It's now been a year that I have been blogging here too! And I am very happy to say that my life has changed for the better. NOT A LOT! But enough for me have something to be thankful for.
