A Month of Thanksgiving

I had a friend on Facebook who said that one of her friends was going to post something she was thankful for every day in her status.

So I said to myself, "Self... this would be a great thing to do."

So I did.

Now I'm saying to myself, "Self it would be good for you to elaborate and maybe go a little deeper than just a status update each day."

So I am.

My FB Thankful status update for the day...

I'm thankful that I live in a country where my voice can be heard. Thankful that I can go out and vote today. I hope you'll get out there too.

I went and voted today. Without fear or worry. For this right...No...

For this, privilege I am very thankful.

Do you realize that there are billions.....BILLIONS of people in this world who cannot do what I (and hopefully you) just did today?

All I had to do was walk out to my car, hop in and drive about a block away. I could have walked but I was picking up my mom and taking her with me so she could cast her vote as well.

In my area there was a slight problem with the cards. Making it so we had to wait a slightly longer amount of time to cast my vote. I was there for maybe 10 maybe 15 minutes tops.

One of the poll managers was apologizing for the wait.

I am so thankful that's all I had to contend with.

I am so very thankful that I didn't have to walk miles and stand in line for hours maybe even days to vote.

I am incredibly thankful that I didn't have to risk my life in order for my voice to be heard.

Because there are people out there who do.

Boo!

Did I scare you?

Well if not maybe one of these pictures from our Halloween will...

Jillian as Kakashi

See the glint in her eye? I'd watch out if I were you.

What about George as a scary skeleton in a "do" rag.

Beware!

McKenna the Rock Star!

It was scary the amount of hair product that was

needed to achieve this awesomeness.

Or how about Jona's "angry eyes".

He was a KND opperative.

I wouldn't mess with Numbah 35 if I were you.

So did any of those scare you?

If not how about one of our pumpkins??

Hope you had a safe and happy Halloween.

Now...where did those kids put their candy buckets?

Cause you're Amazing

just the way you are.

Did you know that?

Well you are.

I hope you know that.
