| I continue to post updates and help BSOBAD with all CELEBRATIONS... that "TOAD"-ALLY ROCK. First of all I am GRATEFUL for this blog, as it gives me a place to share all the things, I am grateful for and things worthy of celebrating! This month happens to be a very FULL month of CELEBRATIONS. In our family many people are celebrating birthdays and anniversaries of things this month. I will run those by you at the end of this blog post. This week started out in a very CELEBRATION kind of way when we received very good news. My blog readers will know what that is all about! I have enjoyed outings of all kinds this week... from routine types like attending gym classes... to fun types like going out for lunches and coffees with friends, to celebrating the birth of Mariah's former dance teacher, Miss Cara's baby, who was born on August 10th. In addition to all of that I have shared some fun time with my grandkids and amy sisters-in-law... Bev, and Brenda, too when we attended the Woman's World exhibit last weekend. I am truly GRATEFUL for times I can share with any and all friends and family... whether over an everyday type CELEBRATION or a BIG IMPORTANT ONE! I went to Mariah's school last week when the kids were out being active doing some ZUMBA to CELEBRATE fitness... (I could not post those photos, do to school rule)... I also tagged along with Jana and Beau for Mariah's ballet class this week. I loved each and every outing I had... with more to come... I met up with friends for lunch on Wednesday... and today am meeting friend, Brenda for another lunch, and a possible coffee later with friend, Ella! This weekend we will be CELEBRATING THANKSGIVING, and feeling very GRATEFUL for everything in our lives, of GREAT IMPORTANCE and VALUE. As many of you know, I am always one who loves a reason to CELEBARTE all things... and I tend to try to capture each and every event along the way. I am always so GRATEFUL for my camera...and even my phone, which I take the majority of my photos on now a days! OCTOBER is filled with many reasons to CELEBRATE... Here are some of the BIRTHDAYS I can think of among family and friends... 4th- Sister-in-law, Arleen 6th-friend, Ross 7th- Auntie Ruth 8th- Cousin Bev 9th- nephew Maxwell 12th- Auntie Betty 18th- niece Emily 19th-friends, Heather and Diane 21st- mother-in-law Blanche 24th- Cousin John25th- hubby Brian Other Special CELEBRATIONS... October 14th- THANKSGIVING 17th- My in-laws, Blanche & Greg's 63rd WEDDING ANNIVERSARY 31st-HALLOWEEN Sadder moments in time but still ones to remember in CELEBRATION... 8th- Uncle Rudy (27 years ago) 11th- brother-in-law, Bruce (2 months ago) 25th- my mom (3 years ago) Although these people are no longer here on earth, they remain in our hearts... and we were GRATEFUL for their time with us... and CELEBRATE them always. So as I record all those dates... I realize just what a month it is to be GRATEFUL and CELEBRATE-FUL! Next weekend we look forward to a visit from Regina friends, Lynne and Mike... and we will CELEBRATE some more! HAPPY THANKSGIVING...and THANKS for stopping by to read what I am GRATEFUL and CELEBRATE-FUL for! On that note my poem of today... In life there is so much to make me feel real grateful, And many occasions to make me feel celebrate-ful. Thanksgiving is one among those very special days, To be GRATEFUL and CELEBRATE-FUL in so many ways. This time's a reminder to always appreciate, The very many things in life that really are so great. From the food that I eat, to family and friends all around, There's lots of CELEBRATIONS, all truly so profound! |
