I have so many, many things to be thankful for, this year. While life gets overwhelming at times and I have moments where I forget how blessed I am, I'm thankful that we have this time of year, to bring these blessings to mind.
~ I'm thankful for my husband and the patience and love in which he handles our home. ~ I'm thankful for my beautiful Bailey, who trusts me enough to ask me questions when she doesn't understand something. ~ I'm thankful for Ryleigh, who is mature beyond her years, but still loves to cuddle with me. ~ I'm thankful for Avery, who teaches me patience every day and for her bright smile. ~ I'm thankful for Luke, who always makes me laugh and impresses me with his inventions. ~ I'm thankful for Presley, who's tender demeanor and tiny voice always melts my heart. ~ I'm thankful for our safe and loving home. ~ I'm thankful for friends who love me, despite my faults. ~ I'm thankful for the many roles our families play in our lives. ~ I'm thankful for the memories I have, of loved ones who have passed on. ~ I'm thankful for my job, that allows me to work it around my life and not vice versa. ~ I'm thankful for the determination and support to have achieved my first college degree this year. ~ I'm thankful for my faith. ~ I'm thankful for my healthy body. It may not be as pretty or as tiny as it used to be, but it is serving me well. ~ I'm thankful for the self-confidence to stand up for myself and walk away from bad situations. ~ I'm thankful for my senses. They allow me to see my children grow up, hear their laughter, feel their hugs, smell the flowers they give me and taste the brownies they surprise me with. ~ I'm thankful that I still have my grandparents in my life, even if it is from across the country. ~ I'm thankful for my blog and the memories it holds. ~ I'm thankful that I live in a free country, where I am able to pursue my life, liberty and happiness. ~ I'm thankful for today. Tomorrow isn't promised...so if tomorrow doesn't come, know that I'm thankful I had today. ~
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
