The Thanks in Thanksgiving

Yes, I will follow suit and write what I am thankful for this Thanksgiving. I say this on a regular basis to myself but now is a good time to let it all out. I think it is good to have perspective in life and being grateful for the blessings in your life is a good way to start.

I am thankful first and foremost for my husband. He has shown me what true love and sacrifice really mean. He gave me 2 beautiful children that have become the base of my existence. With out these 3 people, I would be nothing.

I am thankful for my best friend. She is my sanity. She is my reality check and my rock. She is beyond special and I am so glad she is in my life. I admire her and even though she doesn't know it, she is my hero.

I am thankful for the family I married into. Their warm welcoming and loving hearts have shown me what family really is.

I am thankful for all the assholes in my life. For without you, I wouldn't know what great people are and how much I appreciate them.

I am thankful for my stubbornness. Without it, I wouldn't be where I am now and that is exactly where I want to be.

I am thankful for my mom. She gave me my brown eyes which I gave to my children. In those eyes I see the innocence that fills me with such happiness.
