Day 30: My Thankful

I'm thankful for the real meaning of CHRISTmas. A lot of people, including myself, get so intrigued by the music, lights, sounds, and events surrounding December 25. All of those things are fine and dandy, and it helps to make this "the most wonderful time of the year." However, we need to remember all of the stories that were imparted into us as children. Well, the stories I remember anyway. The virgin Mary, Joseph, Bethlehem, the stable, the wise men, the manger, an angel instructing Mary to name the unborn child Jesus...that "o holy night" we sing about in the name of Christmas. Jesus is the reason for the season, whether you agree with that or not! =)

I'm thankful that y'all stuck with me through this month of thankfuls. I've realized even more that I have so much to be thankful for, regardless of what life throws at me. I hope I have encouraged you to be thankful for everything in your life, even the little insignificant things that are sometimes taken for granted.

Well, it's time to get back to the real blogging. I've kinda slacked off this month doing my thank you's everyday. But you understand...lol

Continue in the spirit of thanksgiving this holiday season, and don't be so concerned with what you can get this year. What can you give to brighten up someone's day, someone's life?

Day 11: My Thankful

I'm thankful for a pretty good weekend!

I'm thankful that my orange glazed carrots I made last week were apparently a hit, since my mom bought more carrots for me to simmer up. And no, I haven't forgotten that I'm supposed to be sharing last week's cooking adventure with y'all. I'll get to it sometime this week hopefully. =)

I'm thankful for family, friends, and good laughs. Truly irreplaceable moments.

I'm thankful for the random gift I got in the mail from Target, just for being an Essence subscriber. It was like a colorful make-up bag  filled with samples of natural/unnatural hair products and some coupons to Target. Whoop Whoop! I love Target!

I'm thankful that it's almost holiday time!!

As we inch closer to the holidays, we inch closer to 2011 winding down. But I'm thankful that there is still much to be completed before we make our debut into 2012.
