"Let's Talk Turkey and Then Some"

and of course it wouldn't be a blog without a song that inspired me:

Phew! We got through the month of October without to many scratches, and it looks to be a November heading in a positive direction. Ornament sales have increased, and I am slated to begin selling at the Navy exchange here in Annapolis, in addition to my Etsy web page:

I have wanted to sell my ornaments in the exchange for years, yet I only let myself dream off doing so, course if you could see the very first one I made, there is one word to describe them - ick! So ten years later, I think I have gotten much better at painting my frosty friends, but I don't just paint snowman, I can paint anything sent my way - Just remind me to store them in a safe place as I broke a set of ornaments that had painted pictures of their hot rod cars on them. I'm actually working on the new ones. I also design snowflakes with glitter dust on them. So check out the website, I have more designs to add to my inventory.

So, This year I somehow found my inner strength to make my wishes come true. I also found my inner happiness that had been sort of misplaced for many years. In my eclectic mind I was under the belief that people were out to hurt my family emotionally - with the primary target being myself, Then some strange feeling took hold of me and made me realize that by building ones thoughts on a foundation of positive thinking, you can crush anything negative that comes your way. WAA WHOO! It worked!

The more I found my ability to remain positive, the more I find my face carrying a smile and a pleasant voice that wants to say - Hello - to the other faces in the world. But you know what the best feeling is? My icy heart has melted and I am starting to feel like the outgoing person I was when my husband and I first met. It's like the spontaneous, outgoing, wacky woman that I was has finally been released from the prison in my mind and put back into the world. Stacey Negative is taking a long sabbatical, I hope - never to return again.

With this new thinking, I have more goals for myself that are obtainable. Since I had so much fun with the October blog, why not try it again. My hopes for November will involve all of you. I'd love to have this month’s blog be filled with photos of family thanksgivings you remember, special thanksgiving stories and we must not forget...all those extra special - grandma touches - type of recipes. I know you have them so why not be a dear and share them with the rest of us. If you have made the recipes that you send me, be sure to take your best photo of it or with it, it's up to you.

So until tomorrow, I'm going to bed tonight dreaming about what delicious recipes we are going to get to try, and looking forward to all the stories of family, funtimes, and what you are thankful for this Thanksgiving Holiday season.  Blog ya later.
