Day 6

I think Day 6 is an appropriate day to be thankful for our military. From the Marines to the Army to the Navy to the Coast Guard to the Air Force, I am thankful for all of the men and women who work and fight every day for our freedoms and our safety. My heart goes out today especially to the families at Ft. Hood. God Bless the USA.

Day 5

Its day 5 and today I am thankful for Facebook. Facebook has allowed me to reconnect with so many friends from so long ago and keep up with them on a more daily (or at least weekly basis) including but certainly not limited to my preschool boyfriend Kenny (we were going to get married in Hawaii and honeymoon at Disneyworld.), my 3rd grade BFF Heather, my brother's best high school friend Carl, my from afar high school crush Aaron, my lifelong from birth friend Hilary, and my long lost high school friend Leonard.   My life is richer for having them back in my daily life. 

 

 

Day 4

 I am thankful for my mama who is my best friend, my confidante, my personality twin. She is the most vivacious (don't insert age here if you want to live) year old I know and amazes me sometimes with ther technical know how. She is the gadget queen, game queen, shopping queen, and Queen Mum of our family. Not to mention the coolest hippest Nana on the block.

Day 3

I am thankful for my second child Gracie.  She is my carrot topped little ball of energy and snuggliness. Her imagination thrills me and her smile makes my heart melt.  She is a compassionate soul and has a lot of love to give.   She loves music and Sesame Street and the Upside Down Show which comes on too late for her to watch but sometimes we let bedtime slide just so we can hear her giggle at Shane and David's antics. 

Day 2

I am thankful for my firstborn, Kayla.  She is smart, spunky, beautiful, funny, sassy, compassionate, creative and kind. She is very much like my sister and the two of them are kindred spirits.  She is a wonderful artist and writer of short stories not to mention the world's biggest American Idol fan.  I can't wait to see what the next few years will bring.

Day 1

I am thankful for my dear husband Don. I don't remember life without him and he brightens my every day. Behind that tough guy facade he has a heart of gold and loves his family unconditionally. He is my knight in shining armour, my prince, my soulmate, my partner, and my missing puzzle piece.

30 Days of Thankfulness

I have signed up for 30 days of Thankfulness on Facebook.    I thought I'd post what I'm thankful for here as well so all the posts will be in one easy to find place.
