Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Ours was wonderful. I have so much to be thankful for and celebrating with my family is high on the very long list.

For those of you who ventured out on Black and Blue Friday I hope you found wonderful deals with no bruises!!!

Here are some prayers to carry you through the holidays:

Give Me Open Eyes
A Prayer for Thanksgiving

"For each new
morning with its light,
For rest and shelter
of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson


Give Me Mindfulness
A Prayer for Living Slowly

"God help us to live slowly
To move simply
To look softly
To allow emptiness
To let the heart create for us.
Amen."
-Michael Leunig, from When I Talk to You:
A Cartoonist Talks to God


Give Me Optimism

Finally, brethren,
Whatsoever things are true,
Whatsoever things are honest,
Whatsoever things are just,
Whatsoever things are pure,
Whatsoever things are lovely,
Whatsoever things are of good report;
If there be any virtue,
And if there be any praise,
Think on these things.
-Philippians 4:8,
King James Version

November.....Really!!!!

Wow I can not believe it is November let alone the 10th of November. It has been a wonderful fall and I'm loving the colder weather...less hot flashes for me but my hubby is very cold because I am keeping the furnace on 64. If I had my way it would be even lower but when G is here I don't want her to be too cold.

So October came and went and it was filled with lots of family fun. B's college baseball team is only allowed to play 18 innings during the fall (silly NCAA rules) so they played a double header at Seton Hill University. It was a beautiful day for baseball and I loved being on a baseball field watching my baby play. It was also a little sad because J graduated in the spring so this was the first game without him. :( It was great to be there photographing the team again but there wasn't a good spot because the fence around the field was just a little to high for little me so I stood (teetering) on my baseball chair and leaning on the top of the fence for the entire first game. Yep thats me doing anything for a good picture (or a good 500 pictures). Here are a few of B:

I'm a little out of practice centering the action shots.

Love, Laugh, and always know where the nearest bathroom is.
