What are you thankful for? Tell me all about it and you’re entered to win this:
Ooh free yummy smelling lotion from Bath & Body Works (Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin scent). Who wouldn’t want to win that?
Just tell me what you’re thankful for this year in a comment on this post. It could be as simple as the roof over your head to your mom’s homemade pumpkin pie. One lucky commenter will win the lotion. And maybe a couple of other little goodies as well…
So leave a comment! I’ll keep this post up for the next couple of days – winner will be announced Wednesday November 26th. (One comment per person please)
What am I thankful for? My family and friends, my writing and all of the joy it brings me, my cats and my dog, the internet (!!) and my health (see how the internet trumps health, ha!).

I’m thankful for so many things in my life. I’m thankful for my mom and I’m thankful for my dad who passed on 9 nine months ago. He was my rock and I’m finding that even though he’s moved on he’s still here for me when I need him. I’m thankful for my husband, I feel truly blessed that he’s not just my husband but my best friend. I’m thankful for my two kids one of which is Autistic. I’m thankful that I can be an at home mom and homeschool my two kids, and I’m thankful for my three best friends. Without all these truly wonderful people in my life I wouldn’t be the person I am today. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. ~Susan

I am thankful that our 3 year old is finally potty trained and that the surgeon was able to successfully re-attach our 1 year old’s thumb after it was accidently amputated. 2008 has been a rough year for our family, so I’m thankful that 2009 will be starting soon.
I’m also thankful that I have my family, a decent job, and that through all the bad things that happened this year, there’s something to smile about each day.
