You know how people get "writer's block?" Well, I have "blogging block." LOL! Seriously, I just can't think of anything to blog about ... my daily life consists of the same thing day in and day out. It's not a bad thing - it's just the way it is. There just isn't much to say lately - life has gotten a little boring, I guess. However, boring can be good in some ways as it means there is nothing major going on. So, for now, I'm taking a blogging break and I wish you peace, joy and love this holiday season.

It's been a very busy week ... too busy for me to want to blog. So, I didn't finish my 30 Days of Thanks meme. Oh well. I did have some thankful thoughts even if they were just for the obvious things like family and friends. Since the holidays are just around the corner and I know that means a lot of busyness ahead, I know that I won't be consistent with my blogging. I hope to spend the time reconnecting with family and enjoying the holidays with them. So, until next time ... peace and love to you!

Our youth group watched Wall-E last night. I highly recommend this movie to anyone and everyone. It is a not-so-great picture about where we could end up if we, as a society, keep doing what we are currently doing. I honestly do NOT want to say much more than that because I think it is best to watch this movie without knowing much about it. If all of us watched this movie and took it to heart, I can't even begin to imagine the changes we could make that would benefit future generations. On a side note, this movie is f-u-n-n-y!!

Today, I am thankful for our youth get together last night. It lifted my spirits and I really needed that!

Even if I'm feeling a bit down, these socks make me smile! Here are the socks that I received today! I bought mine from www.Bumbley.com where shipping was free and the price lower than that at Socklady.com.

I'm beginning to wonder if I'll be able to finish my 30 Days of Thanks meme .... I'm struggling with a bad case of the blues, I think. I've dealt with depression for about 15 years, but sometimes even the medication cannot ward off all of my negativity. I know I should feel lucky and thankful for all that I have, but depression is a powerful thing and can override any of the positive in one's life. I've dealt with a lot of bad situations in the past 5 years and it just keeps piling up with no end in sight. I feel buried in all of this "bad stuff "and this is even affecting my faith at this point. I'm not sure where I'm going from here, but I may need to take a bit of a blogging break because I just can't come up with anything good to blog about right now.

Today, I will say that I am thankful for my husband who has been with me for over 23 years and sticks with me through all of the bad that I have to muddle through. He is my rock!

What a day ... I didn't sleep well last night and so I'm a bit tired. There are some things on my mind and so I'm a little out of sorts today. Honestly, I'm having a difficult time thinking of something I'm thankful for beyond the obvious things that come to mind so easily. I guess I am thankful that this week is almost over. I am looking forward to spending some time with my family this weekend.

Today, I am thankful that my husband is home safe once again. We have been lucky that he hasn't had to travel too much in the 18 years that we've been married. The kids don't like it when he's gone and I don't sleep as well either. But he is home now and won't have to go back to the same place as he was there to do a final inventory before they close down that small plant.

It is really cold and windy today with temps in the mid-20s when I woke up this morning (twice! had to take the dog out at 3:30am then back up again at 5:30). What this means is that we are having very light snow flurries today. There was a light, light dusting on the grass at 3:30am. Instead of feeling a bit "put out" because the dog couldn't wait until morning, I felt thankful to see a little snow in the middle of the night. Now, as I sit here working, I can watch the snow fall, listen to the chimes tinkle in the wind and pray for my kids while they are at school and my husband while he is away from us this week. There won't be any accumulation of this snow today, but the wonder of it draws me closer to God nonetheless
