I am grateful that Arizona doesn't go on Daylight Savings Time. No nasty adjustments to waking up and going to bed time to mess with. No need to adjust watches, clocks , etc. I just need to know so I can call family that lives out of state at appropriate times.

I am grateful for my mom. she is a strong woman with a strong personality. She was diagnosed with diabetes in her 20's, went blind and required a kidney transplant in her 40's sh'ea had two hip replacements and various broken bones. like a Timex watch she can "take a lickin' and still keep tickin'. She's a great example or "enduring to the end" and not letting people push you around. With some help and mostly by watching her I learned how to knit, crochet and sew. I am grateful that the Lord saw fit to let me be her daughter. here on earth.

I am very grateful for my "rotten red-head older brother"
Yes he teased and terrorized me when we were kids (he did proclaim that I was his slave for life). But more important than that he protected me from the neighborhood and school bullies. He has always been able to make me laugh when life kicked me int he butt. and he has a matter of fact don't let life push you around , and no whining allowed attitude that has been a an example for me, I'm really grateful for my brother.

I really am thankful for knitting. I haven't done much with it this year either in the way of production or learning new techniques. It has been more of a coping mechanism this year. It keeps me sane while sitting in waiting rooms, car pickup lines after school, and during children's lessons.
i can wow people with my ability to take a piece of string and turn it into a hat,shawl or mittens. Strangers will come up and talk to me to share a memory of their mother/grand mother knitting or how they would like to learn to knit,
It keeps me from snacking on things that aren't good for me and it helps me focus. Knitting brought into my life a group of friends I wouldn't of gained.
I'm really grateful for knitting

I am always thankful for fiber, not the kind you eat but the kind you get from plants and animals . IT get made into lovely yarn that you in turn can make into lovely hand knitted and crocheted items.

I am grateful that Halloween is over. It is not my favorite holiday. I am thankful that I finished the girls costumes and they loved them. I am grateful for their enthusiasm and energy especially when I have none.

My son (who will be coming home from his mission in December) sent us a SD card from his camer. Is had 6 months of pics and videos of his life. There were a lot of goofy shots and some really pretty ones. This was my favorite. Actually my favorite is a picture of him in the foreground with the lighthouse in the background. I'm thankful that my son is willing to put his life on hole for 2 years to serve the Lord and others. He has grown in both spiritually and emotionally. He looks super skinny in the pictures. I can't wait to hug him and have him sitting on the couch and his legs taking up all the floor space in the living room. (he is 6'6" tall)

Now to see if I can keep this up throughout November. Consistency has not been my strength lately.
