Being in the publishing realm for as long as we have, it’s become obvious that every month has a theme. So here’s November and guess what? We’re grateful. I hope that you are, too. But to be a little contrary (as is often my nature) I’d like to express some thanks for things I often forget to say. Thank God that I only ran out of gas once this entire year! Thanks to those of you who didn’t notice (or say anything about) the extra weight I put on in August. Thanks to my dogs, who are always excited to see me (which is not always the case with my teenager). Thank you to my Husband/Photo Shop Master, for fixing my crow’s feet in family photos.
More importantly than my ridiculousness, November is the time for us to be grateful for the brave men and women who are now and have been the backbone of our armed forces. Thanks to every person who has put their own life in danger to protect our country, our freedom and our children. My family has three sons serving overseas. We pray for them daily, send them boxes of silly string, cookies and sunscreen, and worry when we haven’t heard from them in awhile. Please acknowledge someone you know who serves or has served in the military on November 11…or be brave and honor them during the entire month of November. They serve us EVERY day. Let’s give them 30 in 2012.
God bless your family and each and every one of our troops,
