Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in Canada! We have had two days of festivities – we went to my sister’s house for a family Thanksgiving dinner yesterday and today we had a small feast of our own.
Which unfortunately left me very little time for other things, like drawing! So The Big Draw will be on hold until tomorrow. (Dylan, on the other hand, did his drawings both yesterday and today!)
Both dinners were a lot of fun; we took a ton of pictures so I’ll be sorting through those. Sitting down today, both Ward and I talked about how much we have in our lives to appreciate, how blessed we are.
And most of all, today I’ve been thinking about a quote that my friend Bethie sent me:
“… you do live in an environment of absolute grace. And the more you practice thoughts of that and watch for evidence of that and speak it, you beat the drum of it whenever you see it.”
- Abraham-Hicks
And that’s my intention – Absolute Grace. And as I sit here reflecting on all that’s good in my life, and my gratitude and appreciation of all of it, it does indeed feel like I’m surrounded by absolute grace.
I'd love to hear from you: Click here to add your thoughts!

Hi Happy Thanksgiving.
I’m glad I called over as I’ve enjoyed visiting you.
You’ve inspired me to write 3 beautiful things, (from an earlier post).
I enjoy Susan Hills writing although it’s some years since I’ve read any of hers. Bill Bryson is spot on.
Love the drawings, yours and Dylan’s.

Thank you everyone for the Thanksgiving wishes!
Lynn, when I told Dylan you were asking for his pictures, he wanted me to scan them in right away! (But I got him to draw another picture instead!).
And Lynne, thank you too for your comments. I love doing the three beautiful things, although I haven’t been able to get to them every night.
