Thankful

I know it is officially the day after Thanksgiving, but since I dedicated Thursday's post to food, and Friday's to daily stuff, today's post will be the finale of my Thanksgiving week of posts. 

I am thankful for the love of my Lord and Savior - without Him, my life would mean nothing and I would have nothing.  

I am thankful for my husband who is as different from me as night is from day, and that's a good thing (even when I don't think it is).  He's a good man who takes excellent care of his family and takes pride in that...and I am very thankful for him, for his love, and for the man he is.  

I am thankful for my children - I can not imagine life without my two precious girls.  

I am thankful for the days when Addison does not feel well.  Even though I wish she could always feel great, I love those tender moments when she isn't feeling well and she realizes that she actually needs and WANTS me.  Those snuggles at night when I am rocking her are something that are so rare, and will always be a cherished memory for me.  

I am thankful to have a teenage daughter that TALKS to me - she is an abundance of fun and I just want to soak in the time with her over these next few years.  

I am thankful for my parents and my sisters.  My parents - who taught me everything I know are truly my best friends and I am so glad that it can be that way.  They have been amazing role models and are living examples of Jesus' love.  Thank you for being the amazing humans that you are - and for teaching me how to live right.  

I am thankful for my friends.  My amazing, wonderful, friends!  I can not believe how long it has been for some of us - and for others we have many great years to come.  I love having each of you in my life and am so glad to have met and forged relationships with each one of you!

I am thankful for so many things and so many people that I can't begin to list them all.  

I am thankful for life....for love....and for the relative economic stability that we have right now despite these difficult times.  

What a great week...what a great life...
