Thankfulness Challenge

It's important to frequently reflect on all the great things in one's life and be thankful and mindful of everything positive, so here goes...I am thankful for:

1. Two parents who see the value in caring for their own parents and always being there for them.

2. My grandma who has always been a fighter now matter how big the obstacle, she is truly an inspiration.

3. My amazing group of close friends that I truly don't know what I would do without them or how I would get through the tough times in life.

4. Laughter because it truly is one of the best medicines and it makes it even better when you are doing it with friends.

5. Cameron Alexis because when I stop and think about it I really don't know what I would do without her, she is always there to help me and I think I take it for granted at times.

6. Haiden Grace because as much as sometimes I feel like I am going crazy with her and her completely new and different personality I love her to pieces and I love my peaceful snuggly moments with her.

7. New books that have find their way into my life and my interest in them, I will take it as long as it lasts lol...

8. The fact that some day Steve will be able to be home with us every night and I can't wait!

9. The fact that I can see that life is about so MUCH more than the material and tangible things and that most of life's greatest gifts can only be felt in the heart.

10. I don't need money to make me happy or to make me feel successful in life because it's not about how much money you make and what you can buy with it. You can be rich and have no character and me nothing to no one.

11. My hard working, ass busting, dedicated, reliable husband who often bends over backwards for his job and that God keeps him safe each and every night so he can come home to us in the morning.

12. A good glass of wine, because that's what you need sometimes at the end of the day.

13. Some of the very special people in my life that could never have been put in my life by chance and who always have the right things to say at the right time.

14. Those in my life that challenge me because while they may drive me CRAZY at times, ultimately they make me a stronger, better person for having to practice self control.

15. I am able to stay home with my girls, something I have always dreamed of doing and amazingly it has become a reality and some days I am still in awe that I am actually living it.
