It's Not Just Thanksgiving

Every American knows that today is Thanksgiving, but today is not just Thanksgiving in my household. It's Bro #1's birthday!!! Last year around this time, some stuff when down between the scouts in our old town and my father. The sad part is that Bro #1 invited some of his friends, who were part of this problem. Our friends, we'll call them the A's, the A's told us that nothing would come between the kids. Well Bro #1 invited the A's, P's, and O's up the MA for his birthday. When this spilt in scouts happened, we later got a phone call a day before Bro #1s birthday, saying that none of them will be coming up.

This was devestating to Bro #1 and I. The A's are great people, they got my father to attend church, and now they're letting a scouting fued get between the kids, something that they said wouldn't happen. Mom & Dad called the S's, the H's, our grandfather, and the nextdoor neighbors and all invited them to Bro #1s birthday. Although the A's, O's, and P's weren't at his birthday, and Bro #1 was kind of down, so was I, we had a great birthday. It also made us all realize what to be thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! May your travels be safe and keep your blessings in mind.

Giving Thanks Day 2

2. I'm thankful for being an American Citizen.

Did you know that it can cost around $15,000 to become an American Citizen, yes you read that number right. $15,000, fifteen-thousand dollars to become an American Citizen. $15,000 can be a down payment on a house! I am so thankful for being born into this country, for being born into freedom, and having a voice and being able to use my voice.

Giving Thanks

I was reading Mocha With Linda and saw this blog post, and I said you know what! I'm going to give it a try! We, humans, need to be more thankful for what we have. Weather it's for people in your life (like S) or for special things (like Girl Scout Cookies) or maybe it's serious (like having a relationship with God). Anyways, if I'm thankful for it I'll put it up on my sidebar, right under the lovely picture that's above and I'll add something I'm thankful for every day of November.
