Thankful

Well...I know it's well past Thanksgiving, and we're all onto bigger and brighter things like Christmas lights and Holiday cards, but I thought I'd take a moment to reflect. To stop and listen to my heart and share with you what it is saying. Each November I have grand plans for the Thanksgiving holiday. Whether it be on a community wide scale or just something small and personal, like sending thankful notes to all those "special" people in my life. And each year I wind up doing small pieces of my grand plan, only to feel a slight disappointing tug at my heart. So, here's my attempt to redeem myself, thank you to all those creative computer people who created Blogs! While this list could very easily be long and winded I narrowed it down to 10 things that I am extremely grateful for. . . . . .

1. My fabulous husband; without him none of this life we've created would be possible
2. My extraordinary children; without them my life would not be as complete, nor would I feel such genuine love
3. My supportive and loving parents; without them I would not be half the person I am today
4. My extended family; without them life would not have as much meaning
5. My wonderful friends; without them I would go insane and not experience as much joy as I do.
6. My children's school; without it my kids would not be as well rounded nor continue to love to learn as easily as they do.
7. My pastor; without him I would not push myself to be the change I wish to see in the world
8. My health; without it I would be a big hypocrite!
9. Power yoga; without it I would not be as patient and happy of a mommy/wife/friend. . .
10. Our Nation; without living here I would not have the same freedoms, creations and opportunities as I do today
    
    What are you thankful for?
