God is Good - My View this morning

A few ducks enjoying the same view

An Awesome Sunrise this morning

Everything was still and quiet except for an occasional fishing boat
This morning, as I sit drinking my coffee and pattin on Abbi, I just take my time and enjoy the beauty all around me. The sunrise was awesome and the opportunity that I have to take off and stop from this busy, crazy world and just enjoy some of God's amazing peace and beauty. This is exactly what I needed this morning. After a couple crazy weeks of going at 100 miles an hour, I am so blessed that there are 10 wonderful people running the shop so that I am able to rest and rejuvenate this week as we wait for family to arrive on Wednesday to spend Thanksgiving together.
I am so blessed and thankful today for everything that has been given me from God. I need to remember to take time everyday to open my eyes and see the beauty that is right in front of me.

In a little while, me and Abbi will need to take a ride to get just a few more items from the store - we have made about 2 trips already, but just a few more things and we will be ready to start making a couple of pecan pies and start some cooking to get ready for a feast of thanksgiving on Thursday.

God is Good!

Abbi also enjoyed the sunrise on a morning walk - we heard some cackling geese and took care of business

TGIF

Wow, I cannot believe that it is already November 11th - just one and half weeks and Thanksgiving will be here. It sure does make you want to slow down time, but I have not found a way to make this happen. During these busy times, I sometimes forget to be thankful for the blessings that I have been given.
I have a wonderful place to go to work and I have wonderful people that I work with. Along with this, I am married to a wonderful man and we live in a warm, inviting home with a wonderful baby puppy who is laying in her little pink bed with her head on her arm sleeping like a little girl as I type. We have three wonderful sons between us and four grandpuppies. What more could a wife, mother and business woman want?
NOTHING!
I need to say that out loud because sometimes I forget in the busyness that I have been blessed with everything that I need and even many of my wants.

This past weekend we were able to go over to Atlanta and visit with family and also take most of the staff from the office to enjoy a little retail therapy and some fun times eating and hanging out with family and friends. Try to take the time to relax and just enjoy the beginning of the holidays.
