Today is day 27 of the NaBloPoMo November challenge and it is also Thanksgiving Day here in the United States. Much of my day will be spent in the kitchen preparing our Thanksgiving Feast.
Today I am thankful for:
1) My husband who is willing to help in the kitchen
2) All of the good food we are going to eat.
3) All of the wonderful new friends and ideas I have found on the web and on Facebook.
I also want to pause a moment to talk about where I would like to see my blog in a year. In one year, I would like to see my blog have a greater following as well as having printables and other useful tools being offered to my readers. I would also like to see it generating some income for our family.
In five years, I would like to see my blog being a way of promoting my writing and being a way of offering special items to my readers.
What would you like to see happen in your life or with your blog/website in the next year or five years. I welcome your comments.

Monday Musings for November 24, 2014
So today is day 24 of the NaBloPoMo challenge, and I have now been blogging for 55 days straight (including today). I have really enjoyed participating the Ultimate Blog Challenge in October and the NaBloPoMo challenge this month.
It amazes me to think I have been able to come up with that many blog posts in a row. I have almost written more posts in the past two months than I had since I started our blog.
Sometimes thinking of a blog post title can be difficult. The words tend to come easier for the actual post than the title. I want and need the title to catch attention and draw interest to read the post.
In three days, we will be celebrating Thanksgiving. We have everything for our meal except our turkey. Dennis will pick that up on his way home from work on Wednesday since we are getting a fresh turkey from a local grocery store.
Also, we have the possibility of having 2-4 inches of snow on Wednesday. this could make life interesting.
Last night at almost 9 pm we received a visit from the pastor, his wife and his daughter of the church in our new town that we have been attending. Every year their church gives out Thanksgiving meals. This year they decided to bless our family with one of those meals. It meant a lot to us to receive this gift.
In one month, it will be Christmas Eve. There is so much we need to do to get ready for the holiday. Yet nothing we need to do is as important as focusing on the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our Christmas may be a simple this one this year, but we certainly can turn our hearts and minds to what the miraculous birth of this baby did for our salvation.
So what is on your mind this Monday? I would love to hear from you.
