This is the time when we are supposed to count our blesslings and acknowledge all we are thankful for.
Of course, I'm thankful for my hubby, and for my family and friends and for being in good health and living a comfortable life.
Something else I am always grateful for is living on Whidbey Island. First, there is the beauty of this place. Some days, when it's dark and rainy, I do hope the sun will peak through before the end of the day (that does happen sometimes). On the days when the sun is out and the air in clear and we have beautiful views of Mt. Rainier, the Olympics and the Cascades, and the water views, I never stop appreciating the beauty.
In addition to the views, I believe what makes Whidbey a truly special place is the sense of community here. After living in big cities for my whole life, I thought the move to Whidbey 13 years ago would require a lot of adjustment. I think it took me one day. Now, I tell people I'm a country mouse; I couldn't image living anywhere else.
