I am SO grateful!


It has been a wonderful Thanksgiving this year.  I had all my brothers and sister come and visit and eat turkey and Pumpkin pie with me.  My sister, Kalynn, came home from College and we put up our Christmas tree ornaments.  We also added our new ones that we received this year.  My ornament this year is a snowman that is fishing because I have discovered that I have loved to go fishing this year. 

    


Everyone was here this year, including my Grandpa Stott and Zelda.  It was so fun having them.  Zelda brought this cute Thanksgiving decoration, to remind us of the season.    It was nice having everyone home again.  I have so much to be thankful for. 


There is a song by Josh Groban, that my mom especially loves.  These are the words: 

Some days we forget to look around us; some days 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 too late to say, I'll cry tomorrow.
Each of us must find our truth, so long over due.
So for tonight, we pray for what we know can be.
And every 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.
Even with our differences there is a place we're all connected;
Each of us can find each other's 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 needs so much more.
There's so much to be thankful for.

I'm thankful for all of my family and friends and the many prayers that have been offered for me in the past, and are still being offered for me.  I couldn't be where I am today, and my progression after my accident without the love and faith of so many people.  I'm truly grateful for all of you in my life.  Thank you..... from the bottom of my heart.  I love you all!  Love Nathan

Everyone at thanksgiving.. (except Adam).  We posed for Christmas cards, and letters and then hurried off to see the new Disney movie, "Tangled"!  It was so much fun.  With each new addition, my family gets better and better!  See!  So much to be thankful for!
