Miracles come in all shapes and sizes, from the raising of Lazarus to a beautiful sunrise. Sometimes we are too busy to notice the miracles that are happening all around us and that is truly unfortunate.Yesterday was a day of miracles for me. I so desperately wanted to have a good Thanksgiving. Last year I 
was so sick from my gall bladder that I couldn't eat at all and was pretty miserable the whole day. This year, I just wanted to be able to eat, even a little, and be able to enjoy my family.
was so sick from my gall bladder that I couldn't eat at all and was pretty miserable the whole day. This year, I just wanted to be able to eat, even a little, and be able to enjoy my family.God came through with shining colors (as He always does). I was able to shower and get "dressed up" (my typical wardrobe lately consists of sweats or pjs and my robe). I took a pain pill and my anti-nausea medicine and we made our way over to my mother-in-law's. Scott's whole family was there, and dinner actually smelled good when we walked through the door.
I piled my plate high and Scott chuckled as he looked at all the food, joking that he would be amazed if I ate even 1/3 of it. Guess what, I ate about 3/4 of it and IT TASTED GOOD! I know that seems like a silly thing to say, (you are probably thinking, of course Thanksgiving dinner tasted good) but food brings me no pleasure lately. I eat because I HAVE to, not because I want to. I can't tell you the last time I really enjoyed a meal before yesterday. So, being able to enjoy this Thanksgiving dinner was a special miracle for me.After dinner I passed out on the couch for about an hour, but woke up and felt ready to play Pictionary with the Family, I even got to draw twice! What a blessing!
Though I was in bed by 7:30, I had a full and wonderful day. I hope all of you had a happy and blessed Thanksgiving as well! My love to you! Nancy

Hi Nancy!
I am so glad that you were able to enjoy your Thanksgiving and enjoy the food you ate! What a blessing! It sounds like it was a great day, full of many blessings. Once again, your beautiful smile in all of the pics reminds us of how strong you are and how your true self shines through all of your pain. You are such a blessing!
We also played Pictionary with our family and boy did we laugh and have fun. What a wonderful day to remember all that we have to be thankful for!
I love you! Get some rest! Oh, LOVED the video of Hannah sledding. She looked calm as could be as she took flight!
