Truly Grateful

For These Things, I am Truly Grateful ~ 2017!

Truly Grateful! Many people use the month of November to post each day something they are thankful for.  My “thankful” list could be broken down to cover the 30 days of November and then some!  On top of that, I have multitude of blessing that I’m sure aren’t covered here, though I did try to make my categories broad enough to cover almost everything. So here it is – My annual Thankful List, with a few minor tweeks, just as relevant today…

How to Write a Thanksgiving Prayer

Thanksgiving Day is a time to reflect with gratitude  upon all of our many blessings..  We can do that privately in our own hearts and minds.  We can do it together as a group by sharing our blessings with one another.  Traditionally though, Thanksgiving has been a time to offer a prayer of thanksgiving. In my life I’ve known countless good people, some of whom could comfortably offer up a prayer with ease and eloquence and many others who,  though…

Mama’s Cranberry Apple Salad

My Mama used to make an especially yummy Apple Cranberry Salad every year for Thanksgiving.  I’ve never seen or tasted anything else like it.  It goes wonderfully with turkey or on a turkey sandwich. If you’re making a small batch it is fairly simple to make.  If you tripple, quadruple or sixtuple – I don’t thing that’s a real word ;0) – it like we do, it can be a bit time consuming to cut and peel the apples and…

For These Things, I am Truly Grateful

Grateful! In August of 2014, I believe it was my niece that sent me a challenge on Facebook, to post something I was thankful for each day, every day, for a week.  I found it impossible to narrow my list down to just seven things.  So I broke each day into three sections, but actually each of those sections could be broken down several times over.  Many people use the month of November to post each day something they are…
