I was forward this Poem that I wanted to share~~

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something,for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations,because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge,because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes.They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you're tired and weary,because it means you've made a difference.

It's easy to be thankful for the good things.

A life of rich fulfilment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.

Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,and they can become your blessings.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm thankful to be aware of existence of all life, the air we breath, the Planet our Mother Earth and all she has done and is still doing for us. I'm Thankful for my wonderful Family and Friends that Support me no matter what I do. I'm thankful for Etsy. I am thankful for the Internet to connect with so many wonderful people. I'm thankful for my body, my hands. I am thankful!

Trick or Treating time! My Darth Vader's, and myself "Mama Darth" Notice my Bow,Oven Mitt and Apron? Halloween was fun!

Here's Brandon, I call him Fly Boy. He's really got Flying on the brain! Great Pose Hunny!

Oh did you catch Legend of the Seeker last night? Oh my goodness, that book series is Brandon's favorite, he's read all the books 3 times! He read the books series a few years ago. We were excited that it was going to be on TV. We saw the TV guide it said 10pm (we just went through a time change and didn't thing about changing the time on out TV. SO at ten we turned it on. It was half way over. sigh. Yes we had one hour to watch. But we missed the 1st part. sigh. It was really good. Now were just trying to find when and where if its going to be re aired. They definitely have skipped alot. But that's what they got to do in a tv series. Brandon says you should read the BOOKs!! http://www/.legendoftheseeker.com to learn more. You can watch a preview on there, also on youtube. I tried to get the video on here, I just couldn't get it to work.

Happy Monday!
