Being Thankful

It is the time to acknowledge being thankful for what you have. I am very thankful again this year. I just have a bitter taste as well. I know my friends have been mentioning everyday something they are thankful for....but given my circumstances...I am going to try to list them all today for the month.  Good luck to me!

1. My husband (who I have become much closer to with our recent bad time)
2. My WONDERFUL daughter
3. all the wonderful and honest things that come out of her mouth
4. my parents
5. my brothers
6. my house
7. my job
8. decorating for Christmas
9. a comfortable bed
10. the ability to run (not that I am fast :-) )
11. supportive friends
12. being able to express my feelings and emotions with my friends
13. quiet in the morning
14. a good book to get lost in
15. health
16. experiences - good or bad- they provide me with something to take with me
17. homemade cookies
18. the feeling of giving to others
19. going to bed with the same man for 9 years! :-)
20. my kitchen....where I create a great deal of madness....and a lot of calories to burn off
21. a little money in my wallet...enough for my needs at least.
22. wishes and dreams
23. beautiful views outside (leaves, flowers,etc)
24. snuggling
25. laughing (especially a good belly laugh)
26. singing (even though I can't...it is fun to belt out a song when no one is listening)
27. Reflection time
28. smiling
29. holding hands
30. The sunshine after the storm. No matter how long the storm lasts the sun will eventually shine again.
