Barbed Heart Picayune: November 2009

Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I just wanted wish everyone a Happy and Blessed Holiday. We all have so much to be thankful for. Even if we dont always realize. Just look around you and you'll see that however bad you may think you have it, someone standing next to you is in a far worse situation or facing more serious difficulties than you. That doesnt mean that our own problems are insignificant. It just means we need to always be conscious of what is good in our life and not focus on the bad. Give Thanks. Always. Especially when times are hard. That is when we need to be the most aware of what we ARE Blessed with, not what we are without.

On that note, I want send out a special thank you to our most awesome Lord above for the wonderful progress my good buddy Gary Goodman has made since his serious heart attack last week. He is out of the hospital but not home yet. I'll keep him in my prayers, and his dear family too. He's a tough old coot, so Im sure he'll be fine. O.K....he's not that old but I like to poke fun at him whenever I can! If you know Gary and would like to get the whole story on his very dramatic incident while hunting in the wilds of Montana, just go to the site I set up for him at Support Circle.

Next week, Im finally headin' off to the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas with my fellow cowgirl pal, Dara. Look out Vegas! I'll be taking pics so I hope to have some good ones to share. Speaking of pics, here are two of my latest works. They can be found on my Barbed Heart Photography SmugMug site and you can also purchase them at Anderson's Texas Trading right here in my home town of Grapevine, TX.
