The eyes of Sarah Smiles: Thanks.......

I have a lot of time on my hands, a lot of time to think and ponder. Having too much time has made me realize that all I can do is take it one day at a time. I'd like to say "take it one step at a time" but I cannot even do that......yet!!! Hahaha............Am I thinking with so much time on my hands that I should feel sorry for myself? Nope....NOT.AT.ALL............It is after all, November, the month of giving thanks.

..........when did it all of a sudden become fashionable to give up shaving ones face and grow a mustache and/or beard and have it be a good thing? I know some women could out shadow a guy with the mustaches they can grow, but I'm afraid that wouldn't be socially acceptable. Could we as women go a month without shaving our underarms and legs and have our men think it's okay? By the time the month ended, we'd be braiding, curling, mousing them into all sorts of shapes and styles. Some men, and most women, do not look good with a mustache and/or beard. Though on the other hand, some need the beard and mustache to look good......it's not a win win situation........I can't imagine if this month all men quit shaving their backs, arms, legs, chests.........that is not a pretty picture to plant in my gray matter! I personally like facial hair. The hubs has a "tache"...I have never seen his upper lip be naked of facial hair......ever!!!....... The plumbing business must rake in the dollars come December 1 from clogged pipes full of hair........Yuk!

I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving.....turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, vegetables, rolls......all the butter laden, fat producing food that my hips love. It is one day of the year that I am thankful for such good grub it puts me in a food induced coma while sitting at the table, waking up briefly to slather whipping cream all over a piece of scrumptious pumpkin pie.

This will be the first Thanksgiving in years that I will not be preparing the feast for the family........It really sucks when you cannot lift one foot in front of the other and move about. I am thankful for the ability of walking again soon. In the meantime someone else will be filling their house up with the wonderful aroma of turkey cooking in the oven....We will have a dinner delivered and prepared by caring and loving hands.

I have a lot to be thankful for each and every day. My family who I adore and would be lost without them. Friends, neighbors who have rallied around our house to make sure we have meals on our table while I am recouping. Being thankful and very grateful for a husband who has to wait on me. My boys who make me smile. I am so proud of the fine men they have become..............and to a special lady on social media who has become one of my best friends. She makes me laugh, giggle, and smile. Without her my days would be dull and boring.

I have two eyes that sit in my head that love to look around and see what's out there in this big world of ours. A heart full of love and a smile a mile wide. Anything further south is drooping and falling apart. If I can wake up each morning, that is a beautiful thing and the beginning of a good day................

When I look up, this is what I find.........
