Maybe one of my thatkfuls is that I no longer have family to spend holidays with. My daughter is my only family left & she lives 1100 miles away & neither of us has money to travel.

I have spent many alone holidays with my doggiez on my farm over the last 11 years & I love that just as much as being invited to friends for dinner though I enjoy that too.

I didn't know anyone when I moved here & was so amazed when a family on a farm down the road stopped by with a plate full of thanksgiving goodies & a whole pumpkin pie. Talk about feeling blessed. This community has accepted me & now I have friends who are better than family ever was & more like the family I always wished I had. But I still love having my alone time spent with my awesome fur-baby family
