This has been a year filled with many blessings and it's a good time to acknowledge them. First and foremost, I am grateful that Kevin found his Molly.

And I'm equally grateful that we now have a girl in the family!

Not that sweet Lizzie, for whom I am also grateful, isn't a girl. But Molly is more fun to shop for!
I am so thankful for my family, and along with that, grateful that my cousin-in-law once removed (make that my cousin's husband's sister!) is holding her own and thriving as she's kicking cancer in the butt once and for all!
I'm grateful that I have a cottage I can escape to in the heat of summer (although not quite so grateful that our summer didn't give us too much heat this year!) It's a spot I can relax, create, recharge and renew.
It's also a place that brings wildlife into my life and I'm am grateful for that and all other spots that do the same.
I am so thankful that I have the resources to travel and that there have been a few opportunities to do that this year.
I feel so blessed that Kevin and Greg are both in Michigan so I get to see them more often. (Molly was taking that picture!)
I have had more time to create fun things and take terrific art classes with wonderful instructors. I am so very thankful for that.
My world is filled with love and really, who wouldn't be thankful for that?
So, of course I am most thankful for Rick.

For the world I wish peace, hope and joy.
It can be tough to find in today's crazy times.
But if a silly chat noir-et-blanc can find it, maybe there is hope for the world.
I'm taking a short blog break -- just a week. 'Tis the season. I'll check in with you all as soon as I can.

I love all that you said, but the above line says so much about you.
Happy Thanksgiving
Love this post! We all have much to be thankful for so I am glad this time of year reminds us to reflect on that! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy your week away from the interwebs!
Jeanie, this is an extra-special post. I wish you and your family a very happy Thanksgiving.
This is a wonderful post, Jeanie. Thank you so much for sharing these things. All of which bring you love, and that's the best blessing of all. And, btw, your new daughter in law is lovely. Always great to add new family members to share the love with! :)
What a wonderful post and just like you. I've been counting my blessings lately, too.. I've never had more to be grateful for than I do this year.
Well said and well illustrated - good thoughts accompanied by good photos. Glad your sale went well.
Such a lovely post! The things that you are thankful for--money can't buy. They are the most important things in life: love, family, vocation.
Lizzie looks like she'd love a shopping trip! :-)
Always good to be reminded of all the things we have to be thankful for. Happy blog break, and happy Thanksgiving.
Your photos were especially lovely in this post. Your people all look so happy, and you look very happy and radiant. The year has been good to you. You do have had many blessings.
You are a blessing also. I hope you know how you have blessed my life. Happy Thanksgiving, dear friend. I hope it is a special one for you.
Beautiful post, Jenaie. Yes, lots to be thankful for. I'd be ultra grateful if I had a cottage by the lake where I can watch birds. In lieu of that, your photos are great consolations. ;)
It doesn't get any better than that! It's so wonderful to see the happiness and love on all your faces! You're fortunate to have all those blessings in your life, but you also are a blessing for them -- and for those of us who get to be your friends, albeit online. I'm especially grateful for your support and emotional generosity in reviewing my book and for you and Dee encouraging me to write it! Hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving and holiday season!
I hope you enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving and share some photos when it's the right time!
So nicely put.
Hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving.
Heather :)

Oh so many blessings of the year. I just love knowing you are here and I can visit you. Love the photo of you and Rick dancing. You look so happy. Happy blog break.
So many blessings and so much talent, Jeanie! Have a lovely holiday!
Thanks for sharing your world with us. This is a heartening post. Have a wonderful and joyful Thanksgiving, Jeanie!
