Thanks

At this time of year I hope we all take time to think about all we are blessed with. I know I don't think about it often enough or thank those who have blessed my life. Including thanking Him who has given me everything. Here is a short list of those things I have to be grateful for and those people I hope know how grateful I am for their blessing my life.

1. First and foremost I am grateful for a Heavenly Father who has given me everything.

2. My wonderful family including my mom who is a great friend as well as my mom. My dad who is the very best man I've ever known. My beautiful sister who is my best friend and a wonderful mother. My brother-in-law who treats my sister as the wonderful woman she is and a great father. My niece who is my little shadow and I love her for it. My four nephews who are each so individual and wonderful and I love them. My extended family who each have lifted me up and loved me all my life.

3. I have a job that I enjoy. Some days it is harder than others. But I am blessed to know my career is in high demand and that I make enough to keep me comfortable.

4. My friends all over who lift me up and have blessed me through out my life.

5. a place to live that is comfortable and is safe.

6. That my family will be together for the holidays.

7. Good food and the blessing it is to be able to have adequate.

8. and a vast amount of other miniscule yet great things that I get every day: books, the internet that keeps me connected with my friends and family, my cell phone, electricity, real mail, cute clothes, etc...

I really hope everyone takes time this time of year to remember all we are blessed with and to thank those around you who have blessed your lives

We really are very blessed, aren't we! It was great to see you - even if it was only for a few minutes!
