This is week 48 for the Focusing on Life: 52 Photos weekly photography challenge and our prompt from Sally over at
The Studio Sublime was:
Giving Thanks!
What are you thankful for?
I do know that I am thankful for this journey through life that Sally has 'prompted' us to take this year and I'm so very thankful for all of you.
Every one's been saying how they're sad this photo challenge is coming to a close and they are hoping Sally (or someone) will keep things going on some level or in some capacity. I'm hopeful of that too, and would take on that challenge if my life didn't seem to be headed in what I believe to be a totally different direction next year.
Right now I'm thankful for hot tea, soft blankets, the warm fire and the festive way the cabin is decorated by my sister for Thanksgiving!
I'm thankful for the various stringed instruments that have been played by my nephew, my brother-in-law and my son and the joy I get from hearing their music!
I'm thankful my hubby's restocking the wood pile and keeping the fires lit!
I'm thankful I have a good, loving and fun family!

I guess most of all, I'm thankful for the life I have been blessed with and for those in it.
Until Next Time,
Peace, Love and Giving Thanks!
Cheers,
~Shel~
Be sure to stop by and see what everyone else is 'Giving Thanks' for this weekend!

What a great rustic collage and a terrific photo of you! You have a couple shots in there that look holiday-card worthy.....
ReplyDeleteThanks Paula. And yes, I think we're going to use one of the family shots as our holiday cards! (Thank goodness my sis takes great shots!)
DeleteWhat a great post - wonderful words and great images! And what a lovely family portrait :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Claire. My sister always takes the best photos of us.

ReplyDeleteThank you Beti! I think they're attractive too, but I thought I was just being partial towards them! LOL!!
DeleteHow lucky you are to have a cozy cabin to gather with family.It's a lovely cabin and looks very festive. Like many of us I hope we can keep up the photos challenge next year. I love the challenge and the many people I've gotten to know better through this challenge.
ReplyDeleteOh yes Alice, we are so fortunate that my sister and brother-in-law have such a wonderful cabin in such a beautiful area of the mountains. I too hope we can continue this photo challenge - or one similar and just as enriching!!
DeleteA wonderful post Shel. Your cabin looks like a great place to spend time.
ReplyDeleteYes, my sister's cabin in the mountains is a favorite among all in our family - it's like a second home!
