Thankful Thought | No.7
Tags:Today I'm thankful for Lily. I'm thankful that she's still with us. She's my companion and pal and somehow tends to be healthier than ever (besides not really being able to chase the ball as much as she'd like). The other day I caught this shot of her while I was sitting at my desk. The fresh air was coming in the open window and she was checking things out for a few minutes before she laid down for one of her many daily naps. She's the best.

UPDATE : I returned safe and sound last night from my adventures in Tuscany and Rome so really what I'm most thankful for right now is being home safe and sound with my family. Photos and words to come in the next couple of days.

WELCOME HOME ALI, MISSED YOU AND GLAD YOUR HOME SAFE AND SOUND!!
Love this photo and how beautiful she looks just sitting there staring out the window. It's one of my favorite things about my Lucky, don't you wish we knew what they were thinking???

I'm thankful that you demonstrate the grace of a wonderful person whom I have come to know through your blog. We were off line since July and I truly missed the happening in the Edward's household. This year I'll be documenting a day in the life of my classroom with 196 students. I'm so ready to capture the excitement and build a portfolio of our scientific experiments!
Ali, you touch lives in way that most could only ponder how too and you provide an amazing opportunity for all of us to grow in spirit as we surround our selves with your P E A C E. Thank you for the gifts and happy Week In The Life to you and your readers!

Hi Ali! Glad you're back safe & sound. Looking forward to hearing about your travels. I have a Lily too! Our Lily is about 7 years old now and her fur is turning white in a few places. She is slowing down some and has shorter play periods than before. She's always so happy to see us when we come home and she loves to cuddle with us.

Just a little something fun to tell you and thought you'd get a kick out of it.
My daughter had homecoming this past weekend and one of the photo options was to go in their little photo booth (like the ones you've been doing with kids) and have funny pictures taken. They provided a basket of glasses, boa's, hats and such to make it more fun. My daughter loved this one and didn't even bother to get one done by the professional photographer that they had there.
I was surprised and happy by this when she got home and showed me. Can you imagine Simon/Anna many years from now enjoying this for their homecoming.

Welcome home Ali! Can't wait to hear about your trip and see your SOTR (if you are sharing it). I love the photo of Lily too. If you hadn't explained it, I would have thought she was watching out the window, waiting for you to come home. :)

I am new to digital I was watching your tutorial about overlays from your thankful thought 1. I was wondering how you keep all your layers in the middle. Mine seem to just go down to the bottom, I can't seem to figure out how to make them stay. Any help. Thanks.

So happy to see you home safely Ali. That Lily of yours sure is a blessing for you and your family. I'm happy to see she is doing so well after her sickness this summer. Wishing you a wonderful week at home.

WELCOME HOME, ALI!!!!!!! I'm so happy you're home! I missed seeing your photos and "hearing" your words while you were away. I'm sure it will take a few days to get back into the swing of things, but I can't wait to see what you have to share with us.
My two favorite things about coming home from a long trip: all the hugs, kisses and love my kids give me AND sleeping in my own bed! Again, welcome home.
Hugs, Jen
