"black friday."

So, I feel like I have been absolutely inundated with ads, commercials etc. during the past few days offering information about the annual "black friday" shopping. On a normal day I have an expiration date of about 30 minutes in stores and often choose to go late at night to avoid other shoppers and lines. I can not imagine choosing to get up somewhere between 2am and 7am on my day off to go stand in line and fight crowds. Ugh. I don't think there's anything I want or need enough to get me to do it.

Good luck to those hitting the aisles, I'll be thinking of you while I'm enjoying the peace and quiet of my living room, the morning news and a cup of tea.

giving thanks.

I am so grateful and so blessed, it's always nice to take the opportunity to remember it. To my friends and family, thank you so much for being in my life!

amen.
