November/December

 "A Thankful heart!"

We can find ourselves wondering, "Where has the time gone!"

Whether it's our children growing up too quickly, or how long we've  been together with our significant other.  Maybe we look up and realize that we've been at the Animal Hospital for 25 yrs!!  True story!!

In those shocking moments, we have a choice to make.  We can find the beauty in the event or we can wonder and worry!  We can count our blessings or count our candles and worry that we are getting older and have a few more gray strands of hair.  Or\, maybe the crows' feet have landed on the corner of our eyes!  But, when we stop and think about the fact that we can still see out of those eyes and that we have children that we can celebrate milestones with.  Or, that we have caring friends who know our quirky ways and love us, just the same!!

Perhaps our faith and religion that we embrace, have carried us through some incredible life events! Our hobbies, crafts and talents that we enjoy and share with others is worth a thankful heart! 
We Are Blessed!  May I encourage you to pause this Thanksgiving season and give thanks for your MANY blessings!  Everything might not be purrfect, but it's better than how some others have it, with lots to bark about.

You are Strong and Courageous!  Caring and Competent!  Educated and Awesome!  And Blessed beyond measure!  Good friends and community, food and shelter, hearing and critters!  And so much more!! With a grateful heart, let's give thanks ~
