What am I giving thanks for this Thanksgiving?? There are almost too many things to list - where do I begin?
I guess first of all, I'm thankful that I'm still alive and kicking this Thanksgiving!! :)
Then,
My sons are at the top of the list. I am blessed with two fine men. I love to be around them and always know I can count on them. I respect and admire them.
I'm thankful for two wonderful daughter-in-laws. I'm very lucky indeed that they always welcome me into their homes--they are the daughters I never had.
Next are my special grandchildren--all four of them--3 grandsons and a granddaughter. They are all caring young people with good values and loving hearts. I love them with an intensity I never thought possible! They just melt my heart. Plus, they are loads of fun!!
My step-daughters and children have always been so good to me! From the very beginning of my marriage to their dad, they have welcomed me into their family.
My extended family (brothers,sister, sister-in-laws, nephews and nieces, great-nephews and great-nieces, etc.) They are the best. I know that any one of them would be available if I needed them. How many can say that of their family? Plus, they are all intelligent, caring and fun people.
I"m grateful to have my 89 year old mother still with us and able to be independent. She is the smartest woman I know.
Living in the country is a dream come true for me. The land has always called to me. I gather strength from just being out with nature. Every day brings a new discovery.
My animals are a great source of joy for me--I do believe they are what keeps me going, even when I doubt my ability to carry on. Every one of them has a different personality. I love the smell of horses, the feel of their coats. The cats are fascinating to watch. And my dog is always begins the day on a happy note. It's impossible to be in a bad mood when a little dog is wiggling all over, so glad to see me in the morning, the cats are rubbing against me, and the horses are nickering softly.! What a great way to begin each day!!
I'm grateful for my "angels on earth", people who have come into my life just when I needed them.
This will strange, but I'm grateful for having COPD. It has forced me slow down and learn to appreciate every minute of life. I'm taking pleasure more in the little things--the sound of a leaf falling, the sunrise through the trees, my dog being a bundle of joy in the mornings, a cat purring in my lap, the changing seasons, etc.
I'm grateful to have a fun job and good people to work with.
I'm sitting at my computer, looking out my front windows at the dawning of this Thanksgiving day. I'm very grateful that all my family is safe and well. I'm grateful that we have had the blessed rain. I'm very grateful to be living in America! God has truly blessed me. So, all in all, I'm a very happy person!!!
