With Thanksgiving just a few days away, I started thinking about all the things in my life that I am thankful for. Sometimes it is easy in the hustle and bustle of life to get swept up in just the negatives....the things that get you down....the bad side of life. A couple times a year, there are specific holidays or events that force us to stop and reflect on our lives....this is one of those times.
In no particular order....I'm so grateful for:
My husband (after 20 years together he's still my rock, my love and my life), my intelligent and beautiful preteen daughter, my adorable and hilarious baby boy, my parents (who provide so much to my family in so many immeasurable ways), my annoying but lovable baby brother, my grandmothers, the time I had with my grandfathers, my sisters (each and every one of them bring so much unique joy to my life and without them I'd be a shell of who I am), my friends (the guys and gals I turn to when I need a shoulder, an ear or a beer!), the roof over my head, my jobs (all three of which test me in different ways), my cursed car and our limited time left together, my hobbies, my health (even though I ache most days from top to bottom - I'm thankful that I wake up each morning and the aches remind me that I'm alive), my cousins, aunts and uncles (spread across the US - it is nice to know they are all out there somewhere), Target (a nice clean place to find all the stuff I'd ever need), my Asta (she's old, pees on the carpet, gets under foot but there is such a comfort in having her around), my BFF (even though she falls under friend and sister - she gets a special mention because w/o her in my life to keep me in check - I would really forget to be grateful for everything above).
That is quite a list....what's are you thankful for?
