Paradise Found is grateful for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a wonderful Holiday. Families gather together and give thanks. My family will be gathering today at my sister's house. We will all be there, even my Dad. It will be his first holiday with us in many years. He recently moved back from Florida. I'm thankful for so many things today. Faith & family and the love we share are certainly at the top. But honestly, this year I have so many new friends on Steemit I'm also thankful for, and for this amazing #gratefulvibes community. Please accept this heartfelt holiday greeting...

"HAPPY THANKSGIVING MY FRIENDS" ~ Paradise Found



@richq11 has commented here on my daily #gratefulvibes. A few days ago he posted that he has now authored a published book. In his posted he says, "Thanksgiving day will mark my one year anniversary on Steemit. When I began I was flat broke...now thanks to the great people in the Steemit community, not only am I able to pay my bills, I've been able to write and publish a book. If you're new to Steemit and you have a dream and are willing to work hard for it- you can do it too." This inspiration is fantastic. An honest to goodness success story!! Please take a few minutes and read his wonderful post here.

Paradise Found is grateful to cook

I have a confession, my name is Paradise, and I'm hooked on cooking. My father loved to cook as well, so maybe I got it from him. The thing is, when I retired 2 1/2 years ago, I took over many of the household duties, as my wife is still working. The only one that's not a "chore" is the cooking. Every once in a while, I get the desire to cook unusual stuff, and using Bison meat to make a stew qualifies. I must warn you!! If you visit my post about making Tasty Bison Stew here, you will leave with a craving for stew.

Congratulations again to you, your lovely wife and entire family. A new baby is one of the best blessings anyone can have. :D

Thank you! We were not expecting a Thanksgiving baby! But here he is! @ironshield

You're welcome! He is going to have a wonderful life. A life full of adventures, love, family, friends and so much more I'm sure. God bless you all. Have an awesome day! :D

It was fun re-living the experience in the above post, it's funny how I remembered the various SOUNDS in the retelling more than the visuals. That's why photos help. I've been writing about our new baby experience each day, today we're grateful for visitors. @ironshield

Its funny how a picture reminds you of details you've forgotten. I find certain songs do the same thing, at least for me. Have you ever heard a song and it just transported you back to a memory as well, or is it just me?

Yippee - Praise the Lord for this precious baby boy!!

Bless the Most High!!! @ironshield

Happy Thanksgiving! I am grateful for finding so many new friends on Steemit!

Thank you Ceci!! Yep, I couldn't agree more. This has been a blessing to me as well!!

Happy Thanksgiving Papa Bear!
That looks yummy!
We got to be thankful everyday.
I'm thankful for my mom who is always there for us:)

hugs xoxo

God bless you my friend!! Hugs xoxox

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AND YOURS FAMILY!

Happy Thanksgiving to all those celebrating today! There are so many things to be grateful for every single day that people don't even realize or forget to be thankful for them all...their loved ones, family and/or friends, their health, if they are blessed with good health, being able to get out of bed this morning,for those of us not blessed with good health anymore, clean water to drink, fresh and safe food to eat, faith, safe vehicles to get them where they need to go, etc... and I for one, am grateful for every single one of those things and so much more. I hope all those that are celebrating Thanksgiving today realize how wonderful it is to be alive, despite any difficulties that arise. I know, from all the comments I've read as part of these grateful vibes posts, that there are a lot of people in the Steemit family that know they are truly blessed to be part of this family and to have safe, happy, and healthy, family and friends to share their lives with each and every day. :D I'm so grateful to have been blessed with making the new friends that I've been able to make since I've joined. :D Thank you to you all. :D
Have an awesome day all! :D

You are so right, we had a friend die in a car accident yesterday.
You never know when is your time. God bless you my friend!!

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. Please accept my condolences. I will say a prayer for you and for your friends family and other friends. Losing a loved one, friend or family, is so sad and hard to deal with, thankfully, they have you, hopefully God, and others to help them through it. Sending you hugs my friend. God bless you all.

Thank you my friend @frostyamber!! Hugs back xoxox

Thank you! I looked for this and couldn't find it... Thanks to @papa-pepper I did!

Glad you found it - How did Papa help?

He sent me the link... when I clicked the thing you sent me it wasn't on your timeline.

I may have been writing it at that time, and it wasn't posted yet.
