So we had a little scripture and devotional this morning about Gratitude. I decided that we would have a gratitude tree. I cut some branches from the tree outside and Gigi and I hung paper clips all over it. Then we added notes of things we where thankful for to the tree. I told her we could add things we where grateful for, any time through out the day and that every night at dinner we would write something we where thankful for. So at Thanksgiving we will have a tree fullof all the things that we love and cherish. The first one put on the tree where people in our family. It is a great idea I think however I am unsure of how long it will last due to the cat eyeing the branch as soon as I brought it in the house and the several attempts already at eating it. This ought to be an interesting adventure.
Our thoguhts have been turned to Katie as we get ready to remember her birthday tomorrow. We do not have any special plans but will probably make a cake. I think I will write down some memeries and work on her scrap books. It has been three and half years since she passed away. Amazing how time just keeps right on moving.
Today I had my sister come over. She helped me rearrange Gigi's room. It was fun to have little ones. I can't seem to get enough of their cute little smiles and sweet voices. How precious little ones are.
Celebrate you for the women you are in your own unique way. As a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, and a friend you do make a difference in so many lives. Be your Best you, not someone elses second rate!
