We do have much to always be grateful for...sometimes we get caught up with the "I want more" mode, instead of "I'm grateful for my bounteous blessings" mode. <br /><br />Happy birthday to you and Tracy late. I haven't been commenting much and doing other things that need to be done for winter. I've been reading your blog though..... I also read your blog on frugal living - about the tightwad gazette and frugal living for dummies. I just got these books and am loving them. I always am frugal - but these books put you in a whole different frame of mind. I think they would be great Christmas gifts to a few people on my list. <br /><br />As always I love your soups. I have made so many lately and freeze half -- it's been wonderful to have a freezer full of great food to pull out and heat up. I'm loving it. <br /><br />Thanks for your great reminder to be thankful for the blessing we enjoy in the USA - or just Idaho where we can plant a garden and enjoy our harvest.Sondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07431585932397028005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527772933880774083.post-90269742691255697332009-10-27T14:42:56.220-06:002009-10-27T14:42:56.220-06:00What a great post!!!

So true.
When I was pregnant with...Great thoughts.. So true.<br />When I was pregnant with one of my kiddies.. I remember I was laying there in labor and in alot of pain. I was waiting for my epidural and not waiting very patiently... <br />I remember having a thought very similar to the one who wrote in. I remembered thinking.. Somewhere.. some woman in the world is somewhere about to give birth just like me.. and she doesn't have all of the "comforts" I have here. I cryed and cryed. It had a profound effect on me. I will always be grateful for everything! ~ Always!<br /><br />That soup looks yummy! We have so much snow outside today,, and I'm thinking it's going to be a soup day!<br />Hope your day is great! ♥Ann Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10374067182519089756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527772933880774083.post-9383058613754085452009-10-27T09:56:51.948-06:002009-10-27T09:56:51.948-06:00Yummy soup and perfect for these cold Idaho days w...Yummy soup and perfect for these cold Idaho days we're having. <br />Great thought provoking post.Welcome to the Garden of Eganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10132446191608085958noreply@blogger.com
