A month of Thanksgiving (Part 2)

Nov 11- Multiple friends that invite me over for meals and bring meals over. It's amazing how many friends I have that are good cooks. We may be single but it's not due to the lack of cooking skills.

Nov 12- Flannel Sheets. How I love my flannel sheets. Let me count the ways. There are so many plusses about flannel sheets. When you move your head around the pillow you don't end up touching a cold spot. Making the bed is so much easier because they don't move around as much.  They stick together so there is no draft.

Nov 13- For friends that invite me to events I wouldn't other wise consider. And then get there early to save me a seat. My neighbor invited me to the Women of Faith Conference this past weekend and it's been wonderful. Very uplifting and motivating.

Nov 14- Thankful to see friendly faces at church and for all those that come sit by me. It's so nice to be surrounded by smiling faces and people that are glad to see you and that are looking forward to seeing you later in the week.

Nov 15- Naomi and her family for inviting all the new people over to her house twice a month for dinner. It's hard to really get to know people at church when everyone is busy running off to class. This is one of the really cool features at the new church I go to. I totally love my new ward.

Nov 16- Sharon, a really nice lady that I met at church that comes and sits next to me and makes me feel welcome. She is always so happy to see me. And she makes sure I know about all the events

Nov 17- Really nice people at Goodwill that helped me find the DVD I was looking for. These guys were amazing. When I got to the DVD section I saw 3 guys looking at DVD. I thought I'd take a chance and ask them if they saw the DVD I was looking for. To my shock one guys said yes, knew the section it was in and helped me find it.

Nov 18- A really cool Relief Society President that has monthly cooking classes and gives us tons of treats to bring home. And other ward members who makes treats for everyone. Homemade pumpkin bread can really cure a crappy day, or at least help it to be not so bad.

Nov 19-Thankful for a smart phone that allows me to get messages when no phone number is available.

Nov 20- For knowing how to be really resourceful in the kitchen. I was taught well how to cook and how to substitute so if the ingredient is missing I can swap ingredients with out stressing.

Nov 21- Thankful for friends that will chat with me on the phone when I get to an event an hour early and am in the boonies so there is nowhere really to go.

Nov 22-   Thankful for the person that told me to put a deck of cards in my 72 hour kit. It's amazing to me that not everyone own's a deck of cards. So, it's great I come prepared. Because it allowed me to have a ton of fun at a friends house playing cards.
