whoops - M.I.A.

Yesterday got away from me (apparently).  I go along for 28 straight days and blog without fail every single day.  Then yesterday, I was able to spend the day with my husband for the first time in literally months, and although I wrote a blog for our other site, I just neglected to get one written here.  Holidays!

So, this is the 30th day of a 30 day "stint" and I get to take a little bloggy break!  It'll be a good thing, as I am looking forward to the next couple of days being unplugged, rest filled and regenerated!  As you can probably detect, I am tired.

This is our wonderful photography class!  We are learning GOBS of information and I so hope I can remember even 1/4 of it to apply it and figure out how to take good pictures!

These are great people and it has been such a pleasure to attend this class!  We're in session until the 19th.  And we are in the midst of giving presentations now (ouch - school!).  I am loving this!

Before I close out the November postings, I want to list things I am thankful for right here and now:

my life, my faith, my spirit, my heart, my soul, and my passion!

my sweet and awesome, incredibly and charming husband, Paul.

my amazing, healthy, intelligent, happy, precious adult children, Jenn and Jon, Nina, Victor and Melissa.

my adorable, unbelievable grandchildren, Austin, Cade and Christian.

my sweet grandparents, and wonderful aunts, uncles, and cousins (and the adventures therein!),

my perfect and loving childhood, my wonderful parents and siblings (Wayne and Cyndie), although only my sister and I are still on earth out of the original 5.

my past and present sister-in-laws,  and my brother-in-law, Paul,

my wonderful, amazingly loving and forgiving friends! I have soooo many wonderful friends and consider that amongst the most treasured part of my treasure trove.  Girlfriends! So awesome.

All of the adventures I have been blessed with in my life, all the places I have been to and lived in, and all the people I have met.  All the angels who have had to do "Cheri duty", and all the blessings I have received unexpectedly!

This list is certainly NOT complete, but you get the idea of things that are on it!

How incredible it is to have such a wonderfully HUGE gratitude list!  

I so very much hope you have a long Blessing list!!!!

And as a side note, my little buddy Ryan has had some elevated good numbers, please keep those prayers coming!!!
