~BEING THANKFUL~

As I looked up at the big blue sky this morning....I realized how fortunate I am to live the life I live. Now some people live BIG lives and others SMALL. I fall into the category of the later. For instance I am quite content in my own backyard....no fancy or grand vacations....however I do admit.... I would love to visit each and everyone of you....I live in a humble home surrounded by fifty acres....no granite counter tops or flat screen TVs ....my extensive wardrobe consists of various aprons and assorted pairs of "muck" boots....no COACH purse....my chickens provide ample entertainment....and Winslow Homer my constant companion....I have a wonderful family....sons who check in on their mother.... and a handful of close friends....how lucky am I to own a plot of soil....to feel the warm earth slip through my fingers and watch the first spring offerings begin to burst forth....It seems to be the simple things in life that make me happy....Some people search their entire life looking for that something they feel is missing....sometimes that something is right under their nose....the simple life....that is the life for me....
