Thankful

Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday, even more than Christmas. I think it is all about the cozy comforts of the day and family all around just chill’in, watching football and eating till your heart is content.  With the crazy world around us, having this day with family is more important to me than ever.

Autumn-Tablesetting-ideas

This year, I’m making a point to take the time to reflect on all that I am thankful for. It is a simple list, but one I wanted to share with you.

  • My Family – They are my world and what make my life happy and content. They live far away and I don’t get to see all or any of them on a daily basis which makes the next few days even more precious to me.

 

  • My Friends – My life would not be the same without them. They are so supportive and always there for me when I need them.

 

  • My Health – With each passing year I realize how lucky I am to have a body that continues to work as it should. I need to remind myself not to take it for granted.

 

  • Living My Dream – In a few short weeks, Ed and I will start fresh in a place that we have dreamed about all our lives -living in a house with a water view. Having the courage and commitment to do all that it took to get us there is something I am grateful I had in me.

 

  • My Blog –  If you told me seven years ago all the things that blogging would bring my way, I would not have believed you. It is the best thing I have done for myself. I am so grateful to be doing what I love best and sharing my passion for all things creative, pretty, and affordable with you.

 

  • You – As I count my blessings this year, you are counted among them. Whether you’ve been a reader for years, stop by every now and then, or this is your first visit, I am eternally grateful for the time you spend with me. In My Own Style would be not be the same without you.

 

While I am sitting around my table with family this Thanksgiving, you will be on my mind and in my thoughts since you are my online family!  XO to each and every one of you.

Happy Thanksgiving

    I personally think this is very expensive, valuable information.

      Thanks Sue – I am so happy that we got the stresful stuff of the move behind us. Even though we still have to unload and unpack everything, the exciting part is now starting and I can get back to posting about decorating projects and ideas.

    Happy Thanksgiving Diane!
    I enjoy reading about all of your ideas and especially your house selling/ buying expedition as I hope to have the courage to do this in the next few years.

    I am one Canadian who vicariously celebrates Thanksgiving twice…once in October and then again vicariously through the festivities I observe that take place in the U.S. One can never be TOO thankful for the blessings one has. So well said Diane, and I echo your sentiments. It is a world that is fragile and tragic moments can shatter lives forever…all the more reason to cherish the sweet ones we have with our loved ones, friends, neighbours and communities. I wish all of you across the border, peace, happiness and good health this Thanksgiving.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you and Ed and your wonderful family! I’m with you, Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday, even when I was a child. We got to see all of family from places far away and just spend time TOGETHER doing nothing or everything. I enjoy your blog so much, it is a treat you give to me each day, thank you.

    Hi Diane, I was going through some old files this afternoon. I found a file of home decorating ideas, and when I opened it, the top item was a note about home decorating books. At the top of the list was Instant Decorating, by Diane Henkler! :-) Happy Thanksgiving!
