A Month of Thanksgivings

The older I get, the more I appreciate the "little" things. This week I accomplished--with God's help, of course, some "big" things such as:

• finishing the edits on the first book in my new cozy mystery series: Sabotaged Christmas. Thrilled that it's ready to go!
• Won another notable award for my The Redemption of Caralynne Hayman, and no, I'm not bragging. So many people had a hand in encouraging and praying for my endeavor! God is good.
• A successful board meeting 

But those are the "big" things. What about those things that happen in our lives that don't seem as important--but are!--or that aren't seen or known about to others? Here's a few I'm thankful for this month:

The smile on my youngest grandboy's face 

when he's happy. 

The protection on my twelve-year-old grandson when he fell from a tree Sunday night. A trip to the doctor's and stitches, but will live, thank God!

Nice weather that gives me a smile.

A fun cake from a friend!

Medicine that is helping a medical problem
Posts of encouragement I read most days.
Possibilities that keep me motivated.

Good food.  

Broccoli cheese soup.

 

Little things, but things that mean a lot to me.  This month, this day, I'm thankful for them and so much more. 

What's on your list of thankfulness?
