Giving Thanks

I used to think that the best part of Thanksgiving was all the food.  Man, do I ever love pie!!!  When I was a kid, I used to think that Thanksgiving was a time to remember the Pilgrims and the Native Americans coming together to feast.   I guess it still is, but now it is so much more to me.  Today, as I was at my sisters table while my mom said the prayer, I was thinking about what I have to be thankful for.  I can't even begin to start.  I live what I believe to be a very blessed life.  There are sooooo many people out there that are worse off than me.  For that,  I feel so undeserving.  Here's my attempt at putting it all in a nutshell....
Today and all other days I am thankful for the life that God has given me and for everyone that's in it.  And pie.

Election Day Tomorrow!

Yes, it's that time of year!  Time to get out and exercise our right to vote.  I will be doing so after work with my children in tow.  However, I'm getting reaaaaallllly annoyed with all the political ads and especially the slam ones.  And all the political phone messages!!!  Dang!!  I came home and had 5 on my machine.  One of them was in French.  I couldn't understand a frickin' word of it.
