Happy Marvelous Monday!!! We had a beautiful Thanksgiving and hope you did, too!
Friends.
There are so many marvelous things in the world.
But they are just as I said.
Things.
As we decorated our Christmas tree Saturday night, I felt a feeling that comes upon me this time of year, but this year hit me hard. I call the feeling Even Though We Ain’t Got Money I’m So in Love With Your Honey. There’s no other way to sum it up.
So, Friends.
When I received a message about a friend who wanted to stop by… her message struck me. Hard. When a community pulls together a little at a time, it makes a big difference. The difference one community can make is huge, and I am eternally grateful for that.
I started this blog to make a difference. A difference not everyone will agree with or care about or participate in. But a difference I believe in. It takes a lot to get where we’re going sometimes, but a lot of small steps will get us there nonetheless.
This Monday is truly marvelous. We have a home, warmth, food, family, love and Friends. Happy Marvelous Monday, Reader. May your week be Merry and Bright.
love,
I agree that we all need to remember to be Thankful for what we have during this busy time!

We had a great Thanksgiving. We ate breakfast for dinner and my husband does not like turkey, so we did not have any!

Beautiful post Chelly. You are right, many people are out there searching for “things” to fill the void or purchase, when all we really need this time of year is each other. Thanks for that friendly reminder on what this season and life really should be about.
P.S Your littlest sure is getting big!! Cute kiddos!

Awww I love the turkey crafts so cute! We had a nice relaxing day at home just us. I was able to do a little shopping online of course. It was a great Thanksgiving this year.

It’s good to be grateful and be aware of it. And its all in your attitude for sure–being positive is a great way to be–let others be how they are going to be and keep living your life the way you are with joy!!

That you believe in it is all that matters. The world is so self-involved nowadays that it may seem that no one else cares, but I am certain that a lot do. Keep your chin up!

I also love, love that song. It seems that the Holidays can either stress you out or make you remember what’s really important–that song says it all. Despite the struggle, love makes everything worthwhile and easier. All the best to you this Christmas.

Thanks for the reminder to be thankful for all my friends and family – it’s so easy to forget how blessed I am in the crazy busyness of everyday life. 🙂
