First, I cannot even believe this wonderful woman left me such a kind wonderfull comment! Thank you Elizabeth.
Sooo, today is Thanksgiving. We had my stepdaguthers and their husbands, and Madison my almost 2 year old Granddaughter for dinner. We had so much food. Husband was up at 5 am, and in fact he did most of the cooking. It wasn't anything fancy, but it was wonderful. Lots of laughing and eating and just being mellow. I hated missing going to my folks in Seymour, IN. But just really felt called to stay here and have the kids here. And I'll see my parents and most of my sisters and one of my brothers on Dec 7. My nephew is going into the Air Force and it's a kind of going away party for him.
I'll be working all weekend. I'm glad for the work, but as always wish I could take some time off. I work from home so it's nice not to be out. I also was inspired by Elizabeths blog mentioned above and her hearts. I made one, kind of simple but it felt good, you know? I'll post pictures soon. I'm working on another but can't quite get the lettering right.
As far as the weight, just hanging in there. Not drinking as much has helped, not just the weight but my depression. Money is so tight, as usual. More than usual actually. Gods teaching me something as He always does. Not sure what? Just perserverence. ahh.
Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving!

Hello Lisa- thanks so much for visiting today and entering my little giveaway!
It does seem that we learn most through the hard times - I've done a lot of learning this year through some health problems. I try to keep reminding myself that "all things work together for good..."
Happy Thanksgiving Lisa! On Sept. 15, 2008 you wrote that you need something to be excited about! That is the key! You need to get up every morning excited about something. You have got to find a passion.Boy do people meet for a reason! I happen to be an employment specialist. I have worked with many people who work from home in exactly your field. I have sat right by them day after day as they struggle through hour by hour. Often sleeping in and dropping hours that they say they will make up on the weekend. Lisa, I'm doing what I said I wouldn't, but if you would like someone to talk to, my e-mail is mermaidmom46@columbus.rr.com. I think I can help you or at least be a sounding board. I make my living being a "life coach". At 40 I was EXACTLY in your same shoes - who on earth should I be! Same school story, same money woes, same weight issues, health issues, you name it! When I by accident found my life's calling which in turn is my PASSION, my life changed overnight. This happened at age 47, and I am only 50 now; so there is hope for you. Keep posting and keep an eye open for that passion! Elizabeth
