Thankful

Tis the season to count my blessings.

• Mike - I really am lucky to have such a great husband. I often need to work out things in my brain and he is the perfect companion for me.
• Charlie - makes me aware of my weaknesses, like patience. Yet one sweet act makes me feel like I am doing something right.
• Jane - her constant singing (though it only makes sense to me) is a delight in our home.
• Maggie - my little sweetie who even gives a smile in the middle of the night.
• Mom - I'm lucky to have a mom who has taught me so much and I'm grateful she is still here.
• In laws - Ivan and Helene are wonderful and I'm pretty lucky to be related.
• Extended Family - Siblings, In laws, Nieces, Nephews - Blessed with so many relatives, and really I mean sooo many. I love that type of support system for me and my children.
• Good Friends - friends can just be an extension of family. I have sweet friends.
• Simple Things - but the list is long, a warm house, a car that works, ability to pay the bills, a husband who is employed.
• My Country - I feel very fortunate to be an American and I hope that I can teach my children how lucky they are.
• Jesus Christ - his sacrifice is often incomprehensible to me. Amazing.
• Heavenly Father - without my knowledge of him my life wouldn't have meaning. I am so grateful that he loves me and is aware of me and my strengths and weaknesses.
