Thankfulness, day 30

On my last day of my thankfulness project, I am thankful for Thanksgiving Day. I am thankful that the Pilgrims survived and could feast and have a celebration. I am thankful that we have this holiday to stop and give thanks. I am thankful for turkey, for the smell of sage in chestnut stuffing, I am thankful for potatoes and corn bread, for pie. I am thankful for ways of cooking all these foods without gluten and dairy. I am thankful for little boys who "help" with the cooking, and I am thankful for husbands who come to the rescue! I am thankful for husband's who take the day off while the rest of the UK is working and carrying on as normal. I am thankful for a dear friend from our church who is special to our boys being able to spend the day with us. I am thankful for turkey crafts and coloring pages and the Magic School Bus at the First Thanksgiving books. I am thankful to be thankful, it is a gift.
