What Are You Thankful For?
We try to not take for granted all the blessings in our lives, but when things get busy, it's sometimes easy to forget just how fortunate we are.
I'm thankful for
my wonderful, loving, and hard-working husband,
our sweet, happy, healthy, smart, funny toddler,
a fabulous family (my parents, brothers, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephew, mother-in-law, aunts, uncles, grandmothers, cousins, etc),
living on a beautiful island, where we get to see the most spectacular sunsets,
our farm (which sometimes drives me crazy, but also gives us enjoyment, fresh food, lots of outdoor activity, and our livelihood),
being able to be outdoors,
Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends and family.

being able to enjoy our lives and our family as much as we do,
being able to share all of these riches with our toddler.Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends and family.

About the Blog Author
City girl moves to the country, falls in love, and marries a farmer. She tries to incorporate her city ways with her new country lifestyle and blogs to keep in touch with friends, family & students who live far, far away :) Can this city girl go country? Watch as she learns all sorts of exciting things about life on the farm and in a small rural community. *UPDATE* We are now parents! Our baby girl was born on Nov. 11, 2008 (at 28 weeks gestation- 12 weeks premature, but she's quite the trooper)!!!

i am thankful for you my friend. hope your thanksgiving weekend was a great one and that you enjoyed time with your family. let;s chat soon, wish your husby a happy birthdya for us.
hi c - happy belated thanksgiving day to you and your family.
i am thankful for having a great family and being in relatively good health. after the crap i went through three years ago, i am so thankful things have improved so much! i am also thankful for the friendships i've made over the years...
And a Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
I am envious of you and your country having this wonderful celebration. I don't think that we in New Zealand spend enough time pausing to consider what we have to be thankful for.
This is especially true at the moment when we are in the middle of a disaster happening along our beautiful coastline. A ship has gone aground and oil is drifting onto our beaches.
Until now many people have taken our coastal areas for granted.
HM:
I'm thankful for having you as a friend as well. Hubby had a great birthday. I'll post pics of the cake soon! xo
Canine:
Thank you! I know your Thanksgiving is coming up soon! I'm thankful for having a great family, being in relatively good health, and having you guys as friends.
Hubby and I talk about your visit often and hope we can see you guys again sometime soon-ish :) xoxo
Merinz:
Hello, dear friend! Yes, you are right. Many don't take enough time to pause and be thankful for what we have.
I heard the sad news of what is happening to your beautiful coastline. I think of you and your beautiful NZ often. xo
Happy thanksgiving friend.
Xoxo
