I've been inundated with projects these past few months and I'm nowhere near finished, but it's helped me balance my time better and I'm able to spend more time with family.Cindy R.

Maybe in that the loss of power steering didn't happen on the freeway, but happened within 2 blocks of my destination? <br /><br />LOL...Debra!!!!

It helped - no, FORCED, me to focus on the many, many blessings I have - otherwise, I would have bit some serious heads off. And we can't have that, can we?<br /><br />Perspective is amazing, eh?Joanne Sherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03892365662470655717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392393277880937685.post-31274970242104454352012-11-21T07:24:14.264-08:002012-11-21T07:24:14.264-08:00Hmmmm, unusual thing to be thankful for.....the so...Hmmmm, unusual thing to be thankful for.....the sometimes testy attitudes of my kids that keeps me depending on Jesus for wisdom in training them up (before I kill them, or at least raise my voice at them). The two weeks of noise last month that resulted ina beautiful deck in our back yard. 60+ degree temperatures in November, when I was ready to welcome the cold. I am thankful, really. I'm just ready for winter. :)<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving, my friend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392393277880937685.post-36489548522362169022012-11-21T03:28:13.277-08:002012-11-21T03:28:13.277-08:00Unusual thing to be thankful for?

Wonderful thoughts.<br /><br />My unusual item of thanksgiving: the Potty Training project that's, ahem, not going so well. With my first child I was the irritating mother whose 2.5 yr old trained in 3 days. This time round I think I'll be lucky to have him trained by the time he goes to school. (Ha! Exaggerating a little. At least I hope so.) But I'm thankful because now I have much more empathy for other Mums who've really struggled with this process. It's exhausting. And nothing refreshes the spirit like commiserating with someone else who's been there and really does understand. :-)Karen @ a house full of sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17787916466155321686noreply@blogger.com
