My Many Thanks

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on all that you are thankful for in your life.

I am thankful for my husband who supports me, talks with me, laughs with me and cries with me.

I am thankful for my daughter who reminds me everyday how strong love is and that life is short.

I am thankful for my mom, who has taught me how to take care of myself and not rely on others.

I am thankful for my dad, for bringing out the "kid at heart" in me and always being philosophical when needed.

I am thankful for my step mom, for always listening to me vent and being there for me.

I am thankful for my brother, for being my best friend (and punching bag) growing up.  We're always each other's biggest fan.

I am thankful for my mother in law who is one of the kindest and most giving people I have ever met and I am blessed to have her as a mother in law.

I am thankful for my brother in law, who is a great brother to Justin and always helps us with handy work around the house.

I am thankful for my sister in law, because we are close in age and personality and have also become friends over the years.

I am thankful for my friends, old and newer, who have stuck by me and been there for me through my good times and bad.

I am thankful for my blog for allowing me to grow as a person and  rediscover my love for writing.

I am thankful for my health and my endurance to still be smoke free.

I am thankful for sleep and my warm bed that I am able to rest in every night.

I am thankful for the food that nourishes our bodies especially on days like today.


Happy Thanksgiving to you all!  Be thankful.
