After Thanksgiving thank you

Wow...what a great holiday we had!!  Thanksgiving was wonderful as always, I was totally tired.  I woke up at 6:45 to start cooking and my turkey didn't even turn out that good...hmmmm...not sure why.  My mom's was great though, so it's always good to have two turkeys.  I woke up the next day and started cleaning up.  Something very strange happened while I was "mopping" the hardwood floors, I actually started crying.  I was crying because I love my house, because at that moment, I was sooooo happy with my life.  I was so filled with satisfaction at how my life was at that moment...cleaning up after thanksgiving with my family, being Victor's wife, being Daniel and Leanna's grandmother and tons of other stuff that I was thinking and it just flooded it out in tears of happiness.  Time and life have such a mysterious way of making everything better.  But also with time and life, we have to consciously make the decision to start making choices that are good for our health, our spirits, our minds.  We always sow what we reap and we have to plant good things and rip out the weeds.  I remembered how I felt the same time last year and how sad and lost I was...I just can't believe the miracle that my life is at the same time this year.  So I suppose and I have to believe that time and life is that way for everyone.  If you're feeling down, lost, dark...etc., start doing things today that will put your future in the best possible track now.  Start eating healthier, start being good to more people, stop bad habits whether it's overeating, being envious, being bitter, being lazy, being regretful...whatever it is.  Stop or start today.  I just can't wait to see how next year's Thanksgiving day after will look now that I've learned so many life lessons this past year!!  How exciting.  Thank you Lord.
