Scribbles and Scrambles ~Ahhhh! That Feels Great


My room is clean and organized. My CLOSETS are clean and organized. Trust me, this is huge. I can breathe, knowing that when my Thanksgiving guests arrive, that a sudden avalanche of junk will not bust down a door and come rolling out over their heads, crushing the very life out of them.

Not only that. I'm good for Christmas Eve, too. I won't have to worry about what lurks within while I think about our guests and festivities. I even, while organizing the gifts I've been collecting throughout the year and the wrapping paper and bags, wrapped some gifts.

I am now enjoying one of my all time favorite movies, Stranger than Fiction, and basking in the knowledge that my inner sanctum is in order.

Twenty-two is feeling better, too. She had a bad bug yesterday and spent some time hugging the waste basket. But she's back in fine form and ready to rumble. Her plans include doing lots of cooking and learning the art of throwing a Thanksgiving dinner party.

So far the rest of us are feeling fine.

My new bedset is even on its way. Suppose it will arrive tomorrow? Either way. I'm ready.

But this gratitude is secondary to the gratitude I feel for the blessing of hearth and home. Both current, with my peeps, and future with my secure knowledge of eternity and what has been promised to me.

Here's wishing you deep satisfaction during your holiday preparations.

Oh Kelly! This is a terrific post! My in-laws host the big event here, so my cleaning/cooking isn't too great. However, some company arrived last Saturday, so I've been cooking most of the week already.

I am so looking forward to our time together as family! We've got hayrides, bonfires and lots of good food planned!

I'm thankful for your friendship, Kelly! Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
