Photohunt Saturday - Thankful


These hands are those of the two most important people in my life; my Mother and my best friend. I am beyond thankful for them both. They love me and support me and care for me with their loving hands!



I don't mean to be flip, but I am a true chocoholic. I prefer dark chocolate, but I 'll take it anyway it comes. I am thankful that I am able to enjoy chocolate!

I love this shot and the sense of thankfulness given to your mom aka best friend :) Lovely!

Jackie said...

This is one my favorites so far for 2 reasons. I love the tribute to your mom. you are very blessed to have her. I miss mine very much.

The photos are both great. And I don't you are being flippant about the chocolate at all.

I was so desperate for a fix yesterday, and too far away from town, that I poured a table spoon of Hershey's syrup and ate it.

My husband thought that was very funny when I told him over the phone.

Wonderful things to be thankful for. Thanks for sharing with us.

I love that particular brand of chocolate (too)! A weird quirk of mine though is that I don't usually eat chocolate unless the weather is cool... which it currently is, for which I'm thankful! ;)

Daisy said...

Your "hands" photo is very lovely! It makes me feel good inside.

They're both wonderful, but that first shot? That is brilliant! Not just for the theme, but just in general as art.

Magnificent job!
