I Am Thankful!

Since I'll be busy in the kitchen tomorrow and then spending the day with family, I thought I'd take a minute to give thanks for all the blessings in my life. I am thankful for our healthy, strong, beautiful daughter who is perfect in every way. I am thankful for a wonderful son who showers me with hugs and kisses and a million "I Love You's". I am thankful for a husband who knows all my faults and loves me despite them. I am so thankful for a father who beat cancer this year!!! I am thankful for my mother who found a job after months of searching. I am thankful for two sisters who love me and my family and would do anything for us. I am thankful for a strengthened relationship with my sister-in-law Melanie and for the clean bill of health she got this year! I am thankful for my husband's family and the kind things they do for us. I am thankful for a wonderful Grandmother who is going strong at 81 and an equally wonderful Grandfather whose smile still brightens a room despite what he's been through. I am thankful for a tight-knit, loving family who I know is always there for me. And most importantly, I am thankful for the presence of God in my life because even though I sometimes forget, I know none of these things would be possible without Him. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
