Giving Thanks

It’s that time of the year that we all should count our blessings. Maybe it has not been the best year for you, maybe your finances aren’t as good this year as last year, and maybe your health isn’t the best, but we still need to count our blessings. There is always someone who has not been as blessed as you have been this year.

My marriage, as I have spoken of earlier, has been on the rocks this year. I have several friends who not only had their marriage on the rocks but they went through a divorce this year. Financially, with the economy bringing higher prices and the wages not increasing, the credit card became more of a friend. But there are people who have no credit and went into foreclosure on their homes.  My father does have dementia but thanks be to God it does not seem that his memory has deteriorated at this point. But I have a friend who lost her mom to dementia and other health complications this year.

I am extremely thankful for some very good friends and supportive family that have helped me make it through this year. I look forward to spending this blessed season with each one of them.
