Thankful Tuesday

I have been thinking of a topic to blog about all day today, nothing really jumped out at me, so I have been perusing other blogs to try to get some motivation.

What I found is that I need to hit my knees and be thankful for what I have. So many people have so many problems, heartaches, illnesses and hard times that I feel my life is blessed. And I am thankful.

So, I decided to list a few things that I am thankful for:

1. My family. Dana, my best friend, the love of my life. The man who changed my mind when I swore off of marraige after a horrible divorce from a horrible man who had me trapped in a horrible marraige for 21 years. Breanna, the light of my life, who has never given me (or us) one single bit of trouble all through her teenage years, who has endured heartache, disappointment, pain, having her dreams destroyed and who still needs moms hugs and who still calls me when she is off of work and coming home. I love them both immensely.

2. My job, even though I whine and complain and yap about the crap that I have to put up with at work, at least I HAVE a job, and it pays the bills and helps to keep a roof over our head.

3. The roof over our head, we are so fortunate that we made the decision to buy this house last year instead of an overpriced track home that would eventually put us in the poor house with rising interest rates and repair costs.

4. Having the blessing to be living in a place that I love, near my sisters and essentially, "back home again".

5. My parents and my sisters. That everyone is healthy and happy and that we all get along.

6. diet pepsi and "drumstick" triple chocolate ice cream cones. just because....

Thank you God, for the numerous gifts that you have given us.

And one more thing, I want to send out a huge hug and prayer for my friend Hallie, she knows why and thats enough. Hang in there girl, the RAAT's are here for you!
