Wow! It's been almost two weeks since my last post.
I definitely need to thank Kimberly for drawing my name in her recent contest for the new S&B Nation book. Love it! Thanks so much.
Also, I'm afraid that I never thanked Ann for the wonderful RAOK I received some time back. It included a knitting journal, ball of Sockotta, a package of hot chocolate and a card. Very sweet! It definitely made my day.
Lately, I've been in a little slump again. A little depressed at times. Wondering what I should be doing. For this reason, I've decided to make an effort to concentrate even more on the positive things in my life. I have so MUCH to be thankful for. My home, my kids, my family, my job .... Every morning that I wake up, every bird I hear singing, every laugh, every smile ....
Anyhow, I've decided to hold a contest. I'm not sure what the prize will be yet. And it will probably be a surprise until the recipient receives, but here's the deal:
If you would like to enter, please leave a comment telling me three things you are thankful for. Do a little soul-searching. What I'm hoping is that every one of you will benefit from this. I know there are many situations in life that can get in the way of our "happiness." But if we can all try to concentrate on the positive aspects, however small they may seem, just imagine how that can change our lives!
I will be taking "entries" until Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, November 25, 2004), and will announce the winner sometime on Friday.
I hope you all have a blessed day!

Hi Vicky, my list of things for which I am thankful is pretty commonplace, but because of them, my life is anything but common. Here goes:
1: My husband
2: My son and his unborn sister-to-be
3: The rest of my family (parents, brother, grandmother, etc.)

1) The internet... because of it, so much information is available for free, and I've met lots of nice people that I never would've had a chance to otherwise.
2) Cars. It's such a blessing to be able to go visit family (or have them come visit you) who live far away. Planes and trains are great, too, but cars are much more cost effective.
3) I hope I don't offend anyone, but... feminine hygiene products. Seriously... do you even want to imagine what it was like before they were available?
Here's my three things:
1. Toronto Hospital for Sick Children--my son has heart problems, and the surgeons, doctors, and nurses there saved his life. I thank them every day.
2. My parents--without their strict guidance and support my life would very easily have gone in a negative direction.
3. The Internet--without it, I would feel very isolated and alone. My friends are my online knitting buddies, and bless every single one of you.
Oops--- the above belongs to me!

Great contest idea, Vicki!!
I am thankful for:
1. my body, it may not be a "perfect 10", but it gets me around, enables me to knit and hike, and heck, if you can't be with the one you love (would I mind drew barrymore's figure? no!) then love the one you're with!!
2. my health, again, may not be perfect, but i can see, and hear, and taste, and do yoga, and hike up mountains, and that's quite a bit!
3. my friends, food for my soul, loves of my life. without them i am lost!
I'm thankful that:
-the woman that my dog bit yesterday isn't going to sue us... (at least it seems that way now, I hope that I didn't jinx it).
-it didn't rain on my outdoor wedding this summer (we had no back up plan).
-I can make a living doing things that I love.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Thankful Threes....
1. I'm thankful for the wonderful opportunity to meet a fellow RAOK list person and talented knitter in person: YOU! I'm thankful for meeting all of the other wonderful knitters in the virtual world.
2. I'm thankful for every blessing every day from being able to brush my teeth to the presence of my darling children. The people in my life have helped make my short 27 years here very special and enriching. The experiences (good and bad) help me to maintain a healthy perspective.
3. I'm thankful for my father's guardian angel and his continued safety while in Iraq and traveling into and out of the green zone. I'm sure he's sharing his guardian angel with the other people there.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
