Giving Thanks

I love this time of year! Mind you one of my big things is to be grateful all year, but I love the fact that there is a day set aside to being thankful. Whenever I feel ungrateful I spend a week writing out all the things that I am grateful for. So, here is my list of some of things I am grateful for.
1. I am grateful for a beautiful healthy daughter who brings me great joy!


2. I am grateful for a wonderful husband that tries me in ways I may not always enjoy, but who pushes me to be my best.


3. I am grateful for a perfect baby boy that is valiantly serving our Heavenly Father on the other side.








4. I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ and their sacrifice for me.
5. I am grateful that both my parents are healthy and still here with me.


6. I am grateful for brothers and sisters that challenge me and strengthen me when I need it. I am also grateful for their spouses and their children.


7. I am grateful for my in-laws living close enough to visit often. (I don't have a photo with all of us).

8. I am grateful for wonderful friends that I can enjoy many different activities and let my hair down with. (I dont' have enough room for all the photos that should go here)!!
9. I am grateful for my health.
10. I am grateful for my job, there are many who have lost theirs and I am glad that I still have mine.
11. I am grateful for my house...even if it isn't the dream house...at least I have somewhere to sleep and stay warm.
12. I am grateful for movies that give entertainment
13. I am grateful for opportunities to do fun things (i.e. relive my youth at a NKOTB concert)!
14. I am grateful for a car that gets me to and from where I need to go.
15. I am grateful for everything that I have! (this is my catch all!)
