My Husband. I am so thankful for my husband because he really cares about me and our children. He takes the time to help Lawrence with his homework and to "teach" him the ins and outs of all the latest technology for a 7 year old. He gets up with Kherington at 3 or 4 every morning and feeds her before getting ready to go to work so that I can have that extra hour of sleep. He sticks up for me, he worries about me, he cries real tears when we watch sappy movies. He is my Husband and I love him and I am thankful that he loves me for who I am. I'll be the first to admit I am not the easiest wife to have and I am demanding but he loves me anyway and you know what... I love him too!
My Kids. My life would be completely different without my children but I am so thankful that Leon made me realize that we really did want some of them running around our house. I am thankful to have had a little boy to buy all of the trucks and sports gear and gadgets for. We had no boys in our family so he has been so much fun to watch grow. I am thankful that he teaches me things about killer whales and dolphins when he comes home from school. What a smart kid! I am thankful for my daughter. I was pretty much a tomboy until after high school so I am thankful I get to enjoy the pink and dresses for a little while anyway. I thank God every day that my kids love me, tell me they love me and give me kisses every night before bed. Thanks to my kids for making me such a great mom.
My Sisters. When we were younger and would beat each other up and tattle on each other I would always think, "I wish you weren't my sister!". Today I am thankful to have 2 grown women who love me unconditionally and are there for me any time. I am thankful that my sister Katie works at the same place as me and I can spend almost every single break and lunch with her. I am thankful that Becky is right on top of things. She always keeps me informed, whether I missed a birthday or she just read a book I always know what is going on in her life. I am thankful that they love me even though I am not the best sister in the world and even though I am too busy most of the time to stop by and say hi. My sisters are one of the best things in my life.
My Job. I am thankful for my job. Yes, I know, people complain about my company all of the time. We complain about our bosses, our co-workers, our wages and working environment but shouldn't we really be thankful? That job gives me a paycheck which pays my bills and gives me a nice home to live in. It feeds my kids and lets them have a life that some do not have. I am so thankful to have the knowledge and ability to work in the position that I do. Thanks to the person who hired me 12 years ago and gave me a new chance to start my career.
There are many more things that I am thankful for but you would be reading all night long. So, with that said, why do you say you are thankful? Are you thankful for your husband? Why? Do you ever sit and think of all the special things that you have in life. This Thanksgiving take time out from the turkey and really be thankful. I know that I am and my life is wonderful because of it.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, enjoy your friends and family!
