HAPPY THANKSGIVING . . . .

Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks for the joys and blessings of family and friends.  I received so many text messages today with words that meant a lot to me.  I have certainly been blessed with a wonderful family and I have been blessed with wonderful
friends.  But, who would have ever believed that a blogging community would have resulted in such friendships, joy and inspiration. 

            I am blown away by what has resulted from this communication we all share.  You are all a joy to me and I so love my communications with you.  You have filled me with more inspiration than any great magazine could even begin to possibly do (and I AM the queen of

magazines)  Sitting at my desk is an everyday adventure that takes me to places I would have ever dreamed.  How lucky I am and how thankful I am to have 'met' so many of you.

Your creative spirits are a gift and I am so lucky to have been the recipient of those gifts.

Thanksgiving Day 2011 is coming to a close and with a house full

of guests getting ready for bed, I have reflected tonight on my

everyday blessings and I am so thankful for everyone.

(.  .  .  how quickly this mornings breakfast table is now only

a memory.  .  .)

I hope your day was filled with the same joys of family and friends

your spirits lifted and your efforts appreciated. 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING
