Thankful....

Let the holidays begin!  The next month is my absolute favorite time of year....I love love love everything about the Thanksgiving through Christmas period of time!  I may or may not have our house totally decorated for Christmas :)   But for now lets focus on Thanksgiving and give it the much deserved attention (it's kinda like Thanksgiving is the forgotten middle child...no?)

I have always loved Thanksgiving even as a lil kid....but as an adult the traditions Mr. Mac and I have started as our own little family are so fab.  We will wake up tomorrow and watch the Macy's Parade, make the sweet potato casserole, prepare an appetizer, get ready and head on over to my brother and sister in-laws house.  But the funny thing about Thanksgiving is that, the short list of things we will do even before we leave our house, are all things to be thankful.  I found this on Pinterest the other day and I thought it was perfect.....

Because in the big picture of life, it is these small things we forget to be thankful for....instead they are burdens, or put us in bad moods...when in actuality they are all blessings to us!

So instead of listing all the things I am grateful for, this weekend I will just pray that God opens my eyes and heart to all the little things I forget about!
