Day 30 - Thankful for Finished Tasks

November 30 - 30 Days of Thankfulness - I am thankful for this 30 days. I have always know how blessed I am, and often amazed. This 30 Days has made me even more aware of my blessings, but also it changes the configuration of my day when I start our consciously being thankful. It has been an awsome experience and one I am going to continue. Starting December 1, 2013 (yes that is tomorrow!) I am going to Giving Thanks for 31 Days.

Day 29 - Thankful for Black Friday ?!?

Day 29 marks Black Friday at Amos Jewelry....really not my favorite day...but this day has been unusually busy and fun.

 It has been a happy holiday feeling around here all day. Great way to kick off the season for me and my sweet husband. So maybe this year we will start a new tradition with Black Friday: Fun Friday :-) and I am thankful for it.

Day 28 - 2013 Thanksgiving at the Oestmans - I am so thankful for my beautiful daughter Tessa.
    I spent Tuesday night, Wednesday and Thursday with Tessa and her sweet family. She is such a joy to me now, as she has been since the first time I laid my eyes on her. The sun still shows up

Day 26 - Thankful for Patience

On this 26th day I am thankful for patience. Not always as thankful  as I should be, but the last few days have been very trying. If I had no patience I think I would just explode...of implode. Life has so many ups and downs...some times it feels like I am on a See Saw!!!!

Day 25 - Thankful it is over.

Day 24 - My Daily Bread

Day 24 is the day for bread - Thank you! Baking bread for my husband this morning, I was thinking about my Thanks for this day. So many things to be thankful for. Bread, especially my home baked bread brings so many memories to me. My Grandfather and Father baked bread for our livelihood. So many of my earliest memories as a child into my earliest memories as a "grownup" involves, at least as a background, the bakeries and all the wonderful goodies that were fashioned there....including bread.
