365 days of Thanks!

As of Tuesday it has been 365 days since I started my blog. In honor of THANKS giving, I will now try to describe 365 things I am thank full for! With apologies to Don Williams, some of it can be sung to the tune of "I Believe in You" (sorta?) any of you know that song?

I am thankful for Rainy Days,                            
Mondays and Holidays                                                    
Tuesdays and the right to bless
Wednesdays and Wackiness                            
Thursdays and thilliness
Fridays and a frilly dress
that swirls when women dance
I am thankful for circumstance
                                                                 

                                        

I am thankful for YOU!
I'm thankful for babies
Giggles and Moms and Dads
I am thankful for YOU!              
                                                 

                              

Saturdays are the best of all
Sundays and playing ball
January and the snow
February, with lights aglow
March, and the first of spring
April, flowers that make me sing
May and warmth, but sometimes not
June, because it makes me hot
                                                   

                                      

I AM thankful for you!
I'm thankful for music
I'm thankful for magic
And I'm thankful for YOU!
                                                               

                                    

July and parades of clowns
August with wedding gowns
September, and a soccer ball
October, the smell of Fall
November, and turkey smells
December, those jingle bells
Christmas and God above
New Years, a kiss, and gloves
                                                     

                                    

I am thankful for LOVE!
I'm thankful for grandmas
I'm thankful for grandpas
I'm thankful for YOU!
