thankful
Now that we have eaten the turkey and the ham and the dressing with gravy, is it too late to give thanks and acknowledge that which makes us oh so lucky? I think not, so here goes:I am thankful for my husband and our life together. Our first year of marriage was difficult, but this second one seems to be making up for all those hard times.
I am thankful for my parents. I feel so lucky that they have worked through all their many differences and are still together, and still in love.
I am thankful for my beautiful nieces and nephews. I feel fortunate to have spent much of my Thanksgiving cuddling, tickling, and giggling with my lovely four-year old niece Katie.
I am thankful for my stepchildren, the only children I will ever have.
I am thankful for my home, which is beautiful and far more than I ever expected.
I am thankful for my health and my metabolism, and the fact that I don't have to work out everyday to maintain a size 6.
I am thankful that I have a steady job, which isn't always fun, but IS challenging and worthwhile.
I am thankful for my friends, especially J., who has been there through the best and the worst of times (and there were A LOT of those worst of times).
I am thankful that I still take some time to write, that I still have the urge even if I don't always give into it.
