This Thanksgiving makes me jump for joy

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Sharon Lee's Virtual Assistance

Hello everyone-Since I stopped in and wished everyone a Happy Thanksgiving personally on their posts I decided to do a different kind of Thanksgiving post. As many of you know I have extra reasons to be thankful this Thanksgiving. I learned first hand that miracles do happen. While I am still dealing with physical challenges everyday I am so grateful to be here to still have those challenges.  Some days are tougher than others but they say whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger and since I am still alive then I must be stronger.

One of the things that truly helps me be stronger is my deep faith in God but also all the friends I have found here. So this Thanksgiving I am jumping for joy and am thankful to God for life, challenges and blessing of special friends. Happy Thanksgiving everybody.

Sharon, you're right of course.  We all should count our blessings, whatever challenges we face.  We are blessed with yet another day to do battle with the things we won't let overcome us.  You are a survivor and pure evidence of miraculous intervention, and the love of strangers who become friends.  I hope your path gets easier.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too.

Thanksgiving does indeed come not just once a year, but as often as we direct our thoughts in gratitude.

Wow Sharon...you and me both! I just stopped by to wish you a belated Happy Thanksgiving!  We ran the Austin Turkey Trot yeaterday and here is what we caught for dinner...Not really, I would not know where to begin as far as preparation! Heck, I am thankful I could pick up a bird from the local market! ;-D

I hope you had a good one and...maybe even  decide to skip the whole "Black Friday" shopping madness and actually relax!

Wanda-If I am a inspiration it isn't anything special I have done. I am just me living life the best way I know how. I enjoy posting when I can. I also love to read whatever else writes and there are days when I can't do both so I do one of the other.  Part of my holiday was good and the other part had a bit of a wrinkle in it. But I am better now. Thank you for stopping in and being a great friend.

Hi Sharon,  I just recently stumbled across you, and I am so glad that I did.  I'm too late to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, but want to send you wishes for a wonderful holiday season.  Thank you for the beautiful pictures that you post and the wonderful inspiration that you are. 

Also, I'm sending you wishes for a full recovery from your accident.  I had some about 15 years ago.  Three in one year.  Not my fault, but that doesn't matter to the injuries.  Be good to yourself!!  :-)
