Thankful

It is the day after Thanksgiving and I am still in a sort of food coma.  I love Thanksgiving... mostly for the turkey and stuffing.  Ohhh and the pumpkin pie.  I have never spent my time thinking about what Thanksgiving was really about; just focused on the food and keeping my rear out of the stores.

This year I took a little initiative and decided to take a moment each day and really think about my life.  Some would say I live a hard life, and ask me on the wrong day and I would agree.  If I sit here and just take a second to think though, I realize I live a pretty dang good life.  So basically I decided I would take an entire month of seconds and really contemplate on all of the positives of my days.

I realized that the things in my life that I am Thankful for are not actually things for the most part, but people.  I have never been one to hold material objects or money in high regard so this was sort of a refreshing reminder.  So every day on my Facebook page, I have written in detail what or whom I am Thankful for and for what reasons.  In some ways, my updates were extremely mushy, but there is no way to truly show someone the depths of your gratitude without mushing it up.

I decided to continue with my Thankful posts until the end of the month, and to be honest, I may even do it past Christmas.  With the holidays approaching, I think it is important to remind myself of all the people in our lives that have a place in my heart.  I want everyone to know that I recognize what they do for us and I appreciate every second of it.

This has been a good month for me.  A month of reminders.  A month of changes.  A month of Thanks.

Tonight I am Thankful to everyone who takes the time out of their day to read this particular Blog.  It means you are taking time to learn about me, my children and my families life.

Thank You
