This weekend we celebrated Thanksgiving, which in addition to being an excuse to gorge on amazing food and stand in line for hours for Black Friday deals, is a time to consider our blessings in life.

Mine are many.

I was fortunate enough this last week to see my sister-in-law wonderfully in love and getting married to a terrific man.

I saw both of my sisters and one of my little sister’s twins.

I saw my niece who currently resides on the other side of the country.

I got time with my family.

I had time to relax and just enjoy.

In addition, I have been blessed this year to assist several people buy a new home and perhaps even more blessed to help distressed home owners and make their lives a little easier.

I have two wonderful children and a husband.

I have great friends with whom I have created many amazing memories.

All in all, I am blessed and am thankful for the time to have with all of those I love.

I hope you too have the time to contemplate all that you truly have.
