GETTING PAST IT AND MOVING ON...

I guess you're wondering what happened to #1 in the Thanksgiving Birthday Countdown.  Well, if you've read the Hold Up, Wait a Minute post, you know that the last ten days leading up to Thanksgiving were non-stop busy.  But I was still determined to finish the countdown.  We arrived at our Thanksgiving celebration destination on Wednesday night.  I stayed up all night finishing the countdown.

By Thanksgiving morning, around 7 a.m., the post was finished and published.  I went to a Zumba class with my MILs, Chanda and Nicole.  Nicole read the entire post on the way to Zumba, but by the time we made it back home; half the post had vanished.  I was devastated.  I tried to shut down and restart the computer and log in to Blogger again, but that didn't work. 

I had emailed the post to family and friends.  I thought if I could have someone email it back to me, I could just copy/paste it back into the post.  But everyone I  called only had half the countdown.  
The only party that happened that day was a pity party.  Not only was it my birthday, but now I was deliriously fatigued and I felt like I didn't deliver the countdown as I had promised.  I spent the rest of my birthday crying and sleeping. 

After my pity party, I decided I wasn't going to allow satan to still my joy.  I enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with my family, and then got busy again writing the missing entries. 

Almost a month has past, and we're about to celebrate the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.  But I still won't feel quite complete without sharing what I was thankful for on my birthday.  Simply put - I'm thankful for my life, my health and my family.  
Live life to the fullest!
