Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was wonderful as always. I've been going to Myrtle Beach with the Fescoe family since I met Kyle (6 years ago) and it's always so much fun. It's basically the only time of year we get to see a lot of the family that lives out of state. It was unseasonably warm this year which I was slightly disappointed about. I like it to be chilly at Thanksgiving but it was still nice. The food was absolutely amazing and Court made her famous pumpkin cake!! We also did a lot of shopping!! Kyle and I got a super good, awesome, sweeeet deal on my Christmas gift. A new camera. I'm way excited for it to get here!

We have so much to be thankful for. I try hard to not take anything for granted on a daily basis but it's special to have that one day to really reflect on all the many blessings we have. I'm am thankful for so much but I thought hard about the one thing I'm most thankful for this year and I have decided that it's my health. I look around and see so many sick people, even among my friends and family. It breaks my heart to see so many very young patients coming into the hospital with illnesses ranging anywhere from pneumonia to multiple sclerosis to epilepsy to metastatic cancer. This year my sister and I were both diagnosed with a minor abnormality that is totally treatable. At first I was ready to flip out and have a meltdown but then I started thinking about how much worse it could be. I had an immediate attitude adjustment. I'm so thankful everyday that I can get up and go where I want to go and do what I want to do without the crippling effects of a disease or sickness. Thank you Lord!
