This Thanksgiving is very special to me. I have lots to be thankful for, in fact, here are my top 7 things I am not only thankful for but deeply grateful.
1. God – he listens, answers and laughs (at me)! Enough said!
2. My wonderful family – Randy, Beth and Megan! They are the ones who understand when I say, “Hang on, I have one more column to write!” or “Read this – its about blah, blah, blah.” They are my test market! And they make me laugh at myself!
3. My mother. As many of you know my mother passed away unexpectedly this year. More than ever, I realize the positive effect she had on my life. I take her everywhere I go.
4. My team! Yeah – Kelly, Scott and Michelle are incredible - they push me when I need it and celebrate our successes! Go Team! and Thanks!
5. Chocolate! Yes, I have an Achilles heal – I can’t lie. It helps me think, sleep, write, ponder, and all the other things are necessary for me to do. Truffles are the best and my husband knows this – he keeps my stash full!
6. The delete button – I am learning every day how to use it more and more. Too much stuff out there that has a hidden agenda which as you know I don’t like. Give it to me straight or don’t give it to me at all!
7. Freedom – If I had to list ONE item that was essential for me it would be freedom. Freedom to live, love, worship and think the way I want to. I thank you-know-who everyday for my freedom!
So, there you are – the 7 things that keep me going, playing, and believing. Happy Thanksgiving!
