So I got a late start on my 'Month of Thankfulness' posts on Facebook, and I'm pretty sure I've missed more days than I've hit. Really not because I'm not thankful for anything, I think I just put too much thought into what to be thankful for each day, then got distracted and never posted. So here's a very random list, because one per day just doesn't work for me.
I AM THANKFUL FOR...
a husband who helped fold 4 loads of laundry when I got home from my meeting last night because he was going to start working on it when I called to let him know I was on my way home.
Christmas music to sing along to on my way home from my MK success night (even tho I forgot to call to let Brian know I was on my way home.)
a 16 month old boy who finally decided to start sleeping past 5am!
my mom for getting up with said little boy at 5:30am when she comes to visit for the weekend so the rest of the house can get some sleep.
parents that come to visit just because they miss us!
a 5 year old who wants us to read him chapter after chapter of 'The Box Car Children' books, and not even just to stall before bed time!
kindergarten teachers that keep parents in the loop and tell you how much they enjoy your child at school.
a great group of women to work out with EARLY in the morning and an awesome trainer that pushes everyone to do their own personal best, whatever that may be.
my health and my aching body after a really tough workout, I never thought I'd have the strength to do many of the things we do!
a new house with warm floors and a hot shower each and everyday (and for a husband that fills the woodburner so I can stay nice and warm)
amazing Mary Kay women that keep on going no matter what they've been through. Such an inspiration and such awesome friends.
having a 'job' with a company that not only thinks its important for women to have 'balance' in their lives, but provides free training on what balance means and many suggestions on how to find that balance.
kids that have the most fun when they are playing with empty boxes and creating 'crafts' out of paper plates and scrap paper. Reminds me of stuff I did when I was little.
a mom that made us cardboard box castles and provided us with all the craft supplies we could ever imagine using.
sisters that want to spend an entire weekend crafting (never thought I'd see that day)
growing up with parents that never pretended that life was always going to be easy, and always working hard to make it better.
parents-in-law that welcomed me into their family from the very beginning and that get along great with my parents.
an adorable niece that makes my children look like the 'wild things' from a certain story book compared to her.
an extended family (on all sides) that loves and supports us no matter how far apart we are or how often we get together.
having not just one but THREE Thanksgiving celebrations in one... long... turkey filled... weekend! (We'll see how thankful I am for all that food at 5:15 on Monday morning!)
I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving Day (and weekend) filled with lots of great food, surrounded by people who love you.
One last quote... "What if you woke up this morning with only what you thanked God for last night"
