Thankvember: Days Eight through Ten

As part of the Thankvember Blog Hop, hosted by The Vagabond Studio and Chantilly Songs, I have pledged to post something for which I am thankful each day this month. 

Day Eight: I am thankful for my furry friends. My two kitties and my daughter's little yorkie (who is snuggled up beside me in my chair as I type this) bring me some much joy. Their unconditional love and eagerness to please far outweigh any work that is required to take care of them. 

Day Nine: I am thankful that God has seen fit to remove poisonous relationships from my life and give me the peaceful and happy life that is now mine. Change can be frightening, but a wise friend once told me, "If you want to make God laugh, tell him you have a plan." God's plan for my life is so much bigger than any I can make myself!

Day Ten: I'm thankful for my sisters. I have five of them and I know that if I need anything at all, whether it's someone to talk to or a big favor, that I can call a sister and any one of them will gladly be there for me. My sisters are more than just family...they are my best friends!

What can you name that you are thankful for today?

Feel free to share your thoughts and the things for which you are thankful in the comments at the bottom of this post. Or click on the Thankvember 2013 tab at the top of the page to see a list of days that are actually links and will take you to the post for that day. Come back daily to be reminded of the many things we often take for granted or view them one after another in a single day. This is a blog hop! Each of the blogs below is participating and I would love it if my readers would visit some or all of them to see their Thankvember posts and show them a little love!
