Thanksgiving in Autumn

Autumn.

This might just be my favourite time of the year.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE summer but, there's something about Autumn that beats it by a hair. 

Maybe it's the crisp breeze in the warm sun. 

Or the colours. 

Or quite possibly the cozy sweaters I can finally take out of the closet. 

Either way, I find myself slowing down during this season. Breathing a little deeper and slower. 

Thanksgiving is also one of the reasons I enjoy the Autumn months. It brings family and friends together in a way no other holiday does. And this Thanksgiving was truly one for the books. 

This thanksgiving I'm thankfull for:

HEALTH. Because without it I wouldn't be able to enjoy the blessings God has given me over the year

PAUL. Without his love and support I would be lost in the hustle and bustle of life

PAULY and RILEY. Who each hold a piece of my heart. I live for them.  And only hope that over the years I will have left them with loving memories to last their lifetime. 

OPERTUNITY for the future. Over the last two years I have grown in an outstanding way. I am grateful for the knowledge and trust people have placed in me. 

TOMORROW. As I close one door and open another I know my family and friends will be there to catch me if I stumble, and watch as I work towards a better future.

So right now I'm going to say good bye to the busy days of summer. 

Good bye to the backyard BBQ's and drive-ins.

I'll see it all again next year.
