Quote – “Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our Thanksgiving.” Be Thankful for the difficult times, During those times you grow. Be thankful for your limitations, Because they give you opportunities for improvement. Be thankful for each new challenge, Because it will build your strength and character. Be thankful for your mistakes, They will teach you valuable lessons.  – Troy Amdahl
