Day 322:Vegetables fresh from the garden

Hello again,
It seems hard to be thankful on a day like today. Or at least my feelings are mixed because something horrible happened 10yrs ago but so many lives were saved as well that could have been lost. It is sad how I don't even have to say that it is 9/11 and what that means. We have all been affected either directly or just from hearing the news and watching it all happen. 10 years ago today over 3,000 lives were lost. But this is still a blog about blessings and it is the dark days that we need to try even harder to remember the good in our lives. It is on the anniversaries of horrible events that we need to remind ourselves of the blessings or we will get dragged down. Yes it is important to remember the bad times but we need to be careful not to get stuck there. So if it is ok- I would like to share what I am thankful for today.
Today I am thankful for vegetables fresh from the garden. Right now the beans, carrots, potatoes, peas, tomatoes are all getting ready and eating them fresh from the garden is so amazing. :) I love it. You have not tasted fresh until you have picked it and ate it on the same day. It is especially wonderful when you have grown it yourself and you can really appreciate it. I love that I can have fresh vegetables from the garden and know what it tastes like. I am so grateful for that. So today I am thankful for vegetables fresh from the garden. :)
