Thanksgiving

Now is the time to be thankful, I hope most remember to be thankful throughout the year and not just today.  I have a wonderful family, we have our fair share of crazy, but when needed we come together and support and love each other, for them I am thankful.  My wonderful son, was able to find ways of coping throughout the hectic day that did not involve a full, or even partial, melt down (verbal or physical) he was polite and patient, and able to use his words.  For all this I am thankful.  

I did miss my parents at Thanksgiving mealtime, however, was able to bring a plate (more like a very over-sized bag FULL of food) to them so that they didn't miss out on the wonderful food because of my mothers health.  I also was able to visit for a short while before my son quietly explained he needed to get home.  For that I am thankful.

I was able to start the process of decorating for Christmas, the bulk will be done tomorrow.  I have placed the colored snowflakes in the windows, pictures to come, and a few other items were placed.  For that I am thankful.

From my favorite Christmas movie, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

Complete with book trees that I made earlier this fall

I love the Bumble.  'Cause Bumbles bounce!

Had to give the misfits a home......I will love you Charlie!
While driving home I was treated to the most beautiful sunset I've seen in a very long time.  I was enchanted.  For this I am thankful.

Yes, I was driving, I don't recommend anyone take pictures and drive at the same time, but how could I pass up this view?  Sorry mom.





What are you thankful for today?

Nature Walk

Summer is a hard time to make the time to "get back to nature".  My son has a difficult time being outside, also with changes in the routine of our day.  He has gotten better at being flexible and more adventurous, but it is still a struggle.  We were able to go on a few walks, now I need to get him to slow down and enjoy the views, and the adventure of finding the unique and beautiful while out and about.  (He gets frustrated with me for not "keeping up")

One of the places we went was Two Lights.  There is always something beautiful to find there.....

 I couldn't believe all the types of mushrooms I found along the way...


 There's beauty even in the simple act of play....

Then there were other walks that were just as beautiful.







I look forward to finding more beauty in this wonderful place we call home.  Where will you find beauty?
