What’s Up

26th Day of Thanksgiving

…or T-minus just 2and counting. Today I’m thankful for these people: …well, I never could get them all grouped together to take a photo. Take my word for it, they’re lovely, and a warm, witty bunch. I’ll try again tomorrow.

25th Day of Thanksgiving

T-minus 3 and counting! How did Thanksgiving get so close? Where was I? Today I’m thankful for…you know, this is kind of hard. Not that I don’t have a great plenty to be thankful for, it’s just kind of hard to find a completely different thing every day for 28 days. When I start writing […]

24th Day of Thanksgiving

I’m thankful that I get to be with family and friends on Thanksgiving. (And that Lydia & Jake will be taking care of our house and all our babies.) Yeah, it’s going to be short and sweet ’til I have a minute. Sorry!

So maybe I’m just going to do two every other day.

23rd Day of Thanksgiving, or T-minus 5 and counting. Yeah, I didn’t get around to it yesterday. So, yesterday I was thankful for changing seasons, and having some winter-like weather. Don’t get me wrong—I’ve lived in the deep south all my life, and I’m very thankful for that (hey…!). But I do enjoy living in […]

21st Day of Thanksgiving

I’m very thankful for all the resources with which I’ve been blessed. God knows they’re a pure gift—I haven’t earned them! But I am grateful, and I’ll do my best to use them wisely.

20th Day of Thanksgiving (T-minus 8 and counting)

Today I’m thankful for Not-Net. Years ago, my friend and business acquaintance, Joe Paul, started a networking group. It met at 7am every Wednesday morning, and participants would have breakfast and network — talk about their business, develop strategy, make contacts, set goals, and like that. I became a member, and we met every week […]

19th Day of Thanksgiving

19th Day of Thanksgiving

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I forgot again. Today (or yesterday) I am (or was) thankful for the education I was fortunate to receive. I didn’t always take advantage of it the way I could and should have, but it was there. I went to kindergarten (circa the dawn of time) at the First Baptist Church of Prichard […]

Friends

Today, the 18th Day of Thanksgiving (T-minus 10 and counting), I’m thankful for friends. I’ve had (and have) some dynamite ones! Tina, who shared my childhood. Nancy, who grew up with me (we were besties in high school and were in each other’s weddings, and kept in touch all those year since then — even […]

The Founder's Chapel

The Founder’s Chapel

On this, the 17th Day of Thanksgiving (T-minus 11 and counting), I’m thankful for the Founder’s Chapel at White’s Chapel UMC. White’s Chapel is a very large United Methodist church, the only one in Southlake. It’s too big for me, and I have some problems with how they spend their money, but the Founder’s Chapel…oh, […]

16th Day of Thanksgiving

16th Day of Thanksgiving

Seriously, I wrote this yesterday, on the 16th. After a lengthy pause to go search for the quote, I kept working on it, then stopped when it got to be time to make dinner. I thought, “I’ll come back later and put in all the links.” Uh, no. I remembered it after I was already […]
