The greatest gift you can give

another is the purity of your attention.

Love is a gift.

You can't buy it,

you can't find it,

someone has to give it to you.

Learn to be receptive of that gift.

~Kurt Langner~

The gift of friendship...

a willingness to listen...

a pair of helping hands...

a whisper from the heart.

That someone cares and understands.

The greatest gift that you can give

to others is the gift of

unconditional love and acceptance.

Taking A Blogcation... and HaPPy Thanksgiving!

It's less than a week before Thanksgiving and my to do list is getting longer every day.

I've decided to put myself on Blogger restriction for a few days. (Although you might find me HERE.)

I'm going to attempt to not blog or read blogs over the next few days. Or at least until I get some of these chores checked off my list!

Wish me luck.

I cave easily...

I hope everyone enjoys their time with family and friends this Thanksgiving.

It's a wonderful time to reflect,  give thanks and express gratitude.

"Feeling grateful or appreciative

of someone or something in your life

actually attracts more of the things

that you appreciate and value

into your life."

I'll be back...

Tempt My Tummy Tuesday. Chili and Corn Bread

With the cooler weather arriving, it's time to break out one of my fall favorites. I love Chili. And there are so many yummy recipes out there. I seem to never make it the same way twice.

I found this recipe at Cooks.com

 Basic Chili

2 lb. lean ground beef

1 c. chopped onion

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 tsp. oregano

1 tbsp. ground cumin

1 tsp. salt

2 (15 oz.) cans tomatoes

1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce

3 tbsp. chili powder

3 tbsp. plain flour

3 tbsp. water

1 can kidney beans (I added a can of Pinto beans too)

Cayenne pepper, to taste

In a 4-5 quart Dutch oven, brown beef. Add onions and garlic. Cook until onions are transparent. Add herbs, salt, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chili powder. Simmer about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Blend flour and water to mixture. Stir well and cook 20 minutes.

Add a cold night

and a warm fire and you are all set.

ENJOY!
