Thanksgiving is a lovely time because not only is there fabulous food, but it's a wonderful opportunity to sit and reflect on all of the things you are thankful for.
A couple of things that I am thankful for:
- Good health, roofs over our heads and food in our stomachs;
- A wonderful family who is always there and always willing to do anything;
- Fantastic friends who are like family;
- A loving husband who puts up with me and goes out of his way to make sure that I am always happy and taken care of;
- Having a job - in this economy I am VERY grateful for this;
- The kindness and generosity of people world wide;
- Our soldiers who help maintain our freedoms;
- The opportunities that surround me;
- My mom- as I get older I learn more and more just how thankful I should be for her. Lessons I never quite understood as a younger child are now starting to make sense and I find myself saying things she says and doing things for the reason she did them. Most people cringe when they think that they are becoming their mothers... well me, I'm lucky because I don't mind becoming my mother (I'd just smile more for photos!)
