I was sitting today...lamenting that it is almost 13 months since I have been here...Thanksgiving is tomorrow...and I STILL don't have this done...or that....or that...or....so I decided it was time for a reality check...I went back over the pictures of this house....mostly looking for inspiration...and to reminisce...to get my buns moving into doing SOMETHING!
But...I started feeling a little shamed....looking at my pictures...and I started thinking..."self...you are a paradox"...Ungrateful on the eve of giving thanks....for all you have...I have utterly worn out my Muffins...all my pictures are of them working...or sleeping...because that is what I asked of them....Nothing like a little humility to show you the way to a change of attitude!
Same views...different attitude...

I was sitting here utterly thankless for what I have...I needed to change my view of things....
From Ungrateful....to the true spirit of Thanksgiving...A picture paints a thousand words...and these? paint THOUSANDS upon thousands....Thankful? ABSOLUTELY...
Absolutely wonderful. You inspire us everyday, and because You are who You are, we work everyday to make our world a better place. And who would we be if we didn't try to do that! You give freely and We love you for that!
