GRATITUDE

Remember God's bounty in the year.  String the pearls of His favor.  Hide the dark parts, except so far as they are breaking out in light!  Give this one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude!  ~Henry Ward Beecher

• I’m grateful for being third born - My older sisters led the way and helped me understand the good and imperfect world of adulthood.  They taught me the words “fickle finger of fate”… That some things come with thorns. 
  

• I’m grateful for a younger brother - I could boss him around until we turned five and six.   Growing up with him, the days were always sunny.  We played from morning to dark and explored every corner of the ranch (to our parent’s grief).

• I'm grateful for growing up in the Nebraska Sandhills - Where I learned that living with nature is much easier than living in spite of it.
  

• I’m grateful for all those moves I didn’t want to make - Without them I wouldn’t have met the great people living in in big cities, other countries and rural communities tucked away among the world.  I’ve strung together an amazing network of people from many walks of life, who saw something in me that I didn't know I had.
  

• I’m thankful for not always having a choice in the matter - That God sends me places, tasks me responsibilities and affords me opportunities far beyond anything I would have thought I could manage.  

1. I am capable of coping, achieving and living a life far greater than I ever imagined,
2. I live a life in abundance rather than scarcity,
3. I have everything I need to support me (Physically, Emotionally, Mentally, and Spiritually),
4. I know that victims have no power, and
5. I AM AN EMPOWERED WOMAN!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
