35 Things I am Thankful for

Here is a list of a couple of things that I am thankful for. I realize that some people don't recognize that Thanksgiving is a perfect time to reflect on how THANKFUL they really are. Thanksgiving brings about a special feeling of deep relaxation and meditation on the things that really matter most which is GOD, Family, Friends, and most of all Good FOOD.

I am thankful for:

1. God being a part of my life even though I don't attend church as much as I should.
2. My husband being patient with me while I learn to become more domesticated (cooking and cleaning for the house)
3. My parents for loving me unconditionally.
4. My brother and his soon to be wife (Yes I am calling it.) He said it would never happen.
5. My beautiful nephews for being so smart and good at playing those dang video games.
6. A good job and nice coworkers who let me dance in the office when I want to.
7. An office mate who lets me turn on the heat even when she is having hot flashes.
8. All the bills being paid.
9. Friends and family who have been around since my younger days & Having a Grandmother who is wise beyond her own years.
10. Living to see 28.
11. A vehicle that gets me back and forth to work.
12. Youtube videos that teach me how to do things that I don't have a clue about.
13. Facebook for allowing me to keep in contact with my highschool and Kroger peeps.
