12. For answers to prayer - even when it's not the answer I wanted.

14. For orange chocolate bars, and the poems they are wrapped in.

15. For quiet moments between.

16. For rain.

19. For Isabel.

20. For forgiveness.

21. For 2 months without migraines.

22. For music - and the fullness it brings to my happy house.

23. For my dad - and his second chance.

24. For travels - to be with family near and far.

25. For the mountains. And fog.  And the mysteries that surround them.

26. For busy-ness.  And for being caught up.

27. For coffee.

28. For dancing with the girls - when I am tired.

29. For friends who get it - and who let me be me.

30. For new plans.  And letting go of old ones.

AND ONWARD WE GO...

Hoping each of you have been able to take a moment - each day - to be thankful for what you have been given.  For the things that are too easily taken for granted.  For the beautiful moments that go as swiftly as they come.  Make it a habit, dear friends...  Carry it into December.  And then into the new year.  Be thankful, daily, for the good - the happy - the difficult - the trying - and the forgotten.  Be blessed - again and again - by the moments you collect.  For they are treasures.
