Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I hope all of you are counting your many blessings, giving thanks for those around you, and praying for those who need encouragement. For those who are away from family and friends due to deployment, my thoughts and prayers are with you today and everyday.
Today is a Thursday, which also means it's time to pick a song for Goodnight Moon's link-up. I stumbled across something beautiful from Josh Groban below.
I have new mixed feelings about this day. As many of you know, in 2010 when I found out I was pregnant, Thanksgiving Day was my due date. On that day last year, my cousin and his wife announced their pregnancy with their second child. It was traumatic. This year, I should be celebrating a one year old birthday. Sometimes, I'd give anything to turn back the hands of time and create a different outcome. Unfortunately, it's out of my hands and in God's. All I can do is pray, give God the desires of my heart, and hope He someday answers.
This year, I'll be sharing the holiday with Romeo's dad and girlfriend, sister and FH, and their family and friends.

It wouldn't be proper without sharing a few things I'm thankful for, so check out my V-Blog!
Somedays, we forget to look around us,
Somedays, we can't see the joy that surrounds us,
so caught up inside ourselves,
we take when we should give,
so for tonight we pray for,
what we know can be,
and on this day we hope for,
what we still can't see,
It's up to us, to be the change,
and even though we all can still do more,
there's so much to be thankful for,
look beyond ourselves,
there's so much sorrow,
it's way to late to say, I'll cry tomorrow
each of us must find our truth,
it's so long overdue,
so for tonight we pray for,
what we know can be,
and everyday, we hope for,
what we still can't see,
it's up to us, to be the change,
and even though we all can still do more,
there's so much to be thankful for,
even with our differences,
there is a place were all connected,
each of us can find each others light,
So for tonight, we pray for
what we know can be,
and on this day, we hope for,
what we still can't see,
it's up to us, to be the change,
and even though this world can still do so much more
there's so much to be thankful for.
