...my cup overfloweth...

So many things to be thankful for.  Family, food, fun together.  The ease and comfort of being among those who know and accept you whatever the outcome of your Thanksgiving experiments.  While those away from us were missed, we were together in our hearts...and through our stomachs!  

Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving.

Go ahead and say your thanks to someone (out loud) today.  Only good can come from an attitude of gratitude.  Make it a habit. 

Psalm 30:12

...Halloween...

I love Halloween in our neighborhood.  It is so Americana.  Halloween in our neighborhood makes you think that, despite how they say we're going to "He-- in a handbasket", around here everything is a-okay.  Kids were running around the streets, mostly followed by adults joining right in with the fun.  We had lots of trick-or-treaters and the neighbors got a chance to come out and visit and chat. 

It makes me feel sad for the anti-Halloweeners.  They are so focused on the "pagan" aspects of Halloween that they miss what is really a happy and joyful time.  Halloween is about kids...being one and pretending to be one.  I love it.

Here's what greeted our trick or treaters!  She seemed very confused, but loved all the visitors!
