November the Thankful Month

For the past couple of days many of my friends have been posting thankful thoughts about their life.  I am thankful everyday, but I don't always say it out loud so, I thought I would try it on here for the month of November.  Since I am a few days behind, I thought that I would start at November 1st and work my way forward to the present day.  Then hopefully continue for the rest of the month. (Pictures to come)
