Thankful

As Thanksgiving approaches, I find myself thinking about ALL of the many wonderful blessings God has given us over the 12 years Sheldon and I have been married.. and even longer.. just the time I've experienced on this earth since birth. It kinda makes me feel a tad guilty that I'm not more thankful more often... especially in the hard times. Found this poem.. thought it kinda fit my mood:

More Than A Day

As Thanksgiving Day rolls around,
It brings up some facts, quite profound.
We may think that we're poor,
Feel like bums, insecure,
But in truth, our riches astound.

We have friends and family we love;
We have guidance from heaven above.
We have so much more
Than they sell in a store,
We're wealthy, when push comes to shove.

So add up your blessings, I say;
Make Thanksgiving last more than a day.
Enjoy what you've got;
Realize it's a lot,
And you'll make all your cares go away.
