A challenge I made for thankfulness
Your thanks I asked, and nothing less
Day by day I mentioned my own Hoping that I'd reap what was sown.
Here it is the already the twenty-third
And many of you are readying the bird
I'm doing that too, my friends, today
And counting the blessings along the way.
Below are my thanks as I've written each day
I couldn't ask you if I didn't play.
I am going to save this list of thankfulness
For the days when my life is just not bliss
I'll look at these things as gentle reminders
There's a way to be grateful if I take off my blinders
Happy Thanksgiving from my family to you
Here are my words yes, faithful and true:

We all have a lot to be thankful for if we'd only stop and count our blessings. Jeannette.
