30 Days of Thanks

I love to do 30 Days of Thanks right before Thanksgiving....so often it is easy to get caught up in the things you don't have, want or even need that sometimes you don't realize the good that is in your life everyday.  I'd love for readers to participate by leaving comments!  By supporting one another, we are pushed to look for good even in the worst of times.  

I'm going to start with a few days because I'm not going to be working over the weekend!

1. I am thankful for my home.  It isn't the biggest or most updated but it keeps my family safe & warm!
2. I am thankful for my dog Ava, she is wild & crazy but the sweetest girl I know :)
3. I am thankful my son can play soccer---this kid has a lot of energy & needs the outlet!
4. I am thankful that I have a beautiful, healthy little girl who turns 9 today.  My life would have been so different today if hadn't been for her!
5. I am thankful for having the parents that I did.  They weren't perfect (because who is!) but they loved us, really loved one another and became my friends as I got older. Though they left the world earlier than we all anticipated, I am grateful for the time we did have together.
