Thankful and saintly?

For the last couple of years, I posted on FaceBook a thankful thought for each day of November.  Last year, my cousin posted something about a different Saint each day of November.  I like both ideas.  I won't promise to be faithful to doing this every day, but I will try.

Today, I am thankful for Autumn.  The fall color today has just seemed so radiant, it is like a blessing around every corner!

The Saint that I chose for today is in honor of my cousin, Susie, who did this last year:  Saint Susanna.  St. Susanna's feast day is August 11.  Most of what is known about her is based on legend . . . meaning that not much is really known about her. She is listed in the Roman Martyrology, so we know that she was martyred.  It is believed that she was beheaded.  She is said to have been the daughter of St. Gabinus and the niece of Pope Caius.
