Wordless Wednesday: Focusing On Gratitude

In Blogging by Jen

Today I am celebrating the fact I was able to get up out of my sick bed, shower and even eat a bowl of chicken noodle soup! Once you have been sick, good health becomes something for which you are incredibly grateful.

On Thursday of this week here in the States we will be celebrating Thanksgiving. This is one of my favorite holidays of the year. I love the food, being with those I care about and having a moment or two to remember all of the people and things that so richly and fully bless my life.

This year has been tough for our family. At times it seemed like the road we were on was so very difficult, but it never failed that at just those same moments someone or something would come our way that would help make all the difference in carrying on. How grateful I am for such tender mercies in my life.

I am grateful for a large and loving extended family who love, cherish and help us to nurture the family that together my husband and I began 16 years ago.

I am grateful for the opportunity to be a mother, because truthfully without my kids life would be boring and no fun. Plus other than motherhood where else can you have moments like these (all of which happened today). I will save you the story about the clogged toilet, but gratefully the husband is an expert at handling such things.

Here is what a toddler can do with a marker in 30 seconds.

Or seeing your daughter burst into tears as she opens a Thanksgiving package from a cherished friend who moved away because the package made her so happy that her friend didn’t forget her!

Lastly, I would like to thank all of you who come and visit me over here at JENerally Informed. You make a real difference in my life and I am so grateful that you are a part of it.

Now onto the Link-up!
