Giving Thanks

If the only prayer you ever say in your whole life is "thank you," that would suffice.
Meister Eckhart









Here we are in November, the month of "Thanks"!



Last year at this time, in honor of Thanksgiving



I started a new tradition for me,



and decided to post here on my blog



"30 Days of Giving Thanks"



I wanted to post a thank you each day, for the entire month.



I think I missed a few days,



but, I must say it made a difference in my life.



It was a way for me to remember that despite life's ups and downs,



there is always much to appreciate in our lives.....



I created a special button for this last year,



and if you would like to join me



in this special way to look at the good in our lives



please feel free to take the button for your use....



and pass it on!




DAY 1: So very thankful this day........

and said hello to me

I am so sorry about the loss of your husband. My husband passed away in 2006. We had thirty-six years of marriage and I am very thankful for that. I also can feel him around me.

Hello there! I'd like to introduce myself..... My name is Joyce and I live in northern California, in the beautiful San Joaquin Valley. In 1975, I was blessed by God with a wonderful man named Stephen. Whether or not you believe in such a thing, ours truly was "love at first sight". We were married one year later. In time, we were further blessed with 5 beautiful children, four boys and one girl. Steve was my rock, my protector, my soul mate, and my best friend. We spent 30 precious years on this earth together, and for this I give thanks each and every day of my life. Sadly, my dear Steve passed away in December of 2005. He was such a strong spirit and loving soul that I know he is still here, loving and watching over us.
