12 THANKFUL FOR COURAGE

Yesterday, I planted my fingers on my keyboard and started to type the number 13 in preparation for my next thankful post.  As I reached for the mouse to position my cursor, I felt a slight hesitation.  It was a fear that came over me that I didn't see or know was coming.   It was a little voice in the back of my head that said, "You're rushing this month right on to the end just because it's your birthday.

16 days to go!!!

 

-Yes, I'm thankful for pancakes, eggs, bacon and homefries. That was our dinner Tuesday night.  The night before, I walked in the door from work and went straight to the kitchen to start dinner.  You know me.  I'm a firm believer in a 30-minute meal.  I've had my card pulled plenty of times for being a southern girl who doesn't cook big Sunday dinners or soul food.

18 & 17 Thankful For My Job and a Rap Legend Gone Too Soon...

-So IOU one..

Yesterday, Monday - was the 18th day in the Thanksgiving Birthday Countdown.  After a great weekend, it's always so hard to get up on Monday morning to get ready for work.  But right now, with a new mayor in office and a reorganization underway, I'm glad to have a job to get up for every morning.  I've never been through this experience before, and while it's an interesting process to watch unfold; I sympathize with all the employees who have lost their jobs.
