Considering today is Thanksgiving in the U.S., I'd like to do the obvious and show some appreciation.

I am thankful for my family--both immediate and extended. I am blessed to have great relationships with my parents and my inlaws. I am blessed with happy healthy great kids and a loving husband who supports me in every possible way.

I am thankful to live in a country where I can voice my opinion without fear. I am thankful to own a home where my family can feel safe and secure. I am thankful to have a fridge and pantry full of food and to have never known what it felt like to be truly hungry.

I am thankful for the opportunity of education. I am thankful I can read any book I want. I am thankful I can listen to any kind of music at the touch of the button.

I am thankful for my friends who love me, even though they don't have to. I am thankful to have a best friend who is like an extention of myself. I am thankful to my YLF friends who inspire me, and appreciate me for who I am. I am thankful to Angie for sharing her expertise with us, and doing so in such a gracious unassuming way. I have learned a lot more than fashion tips from everyone here. I have learned tact and open-mindedness. I am thankful to Greg for all he does behind the scenes because I know he makes it all possible.

...and I'm thankful for pie...particularly Lemon Meringue pie....

Happy Thanksgiving to all you beautiful, wonderful, creative, stylish and positive women!!!
