10 things I’m thankful for November 26, 2009

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  Since today is Thanksgiving, I thought it would be appropriate to think of some things I’m thankful for.  I have so many blessings in my life, I feel like this is just the tip of the iceburg.  However, I DO have some cleaning and cooking to do, so I have to put a limit on this somewhere.   Here we go:

1. I’m thankful for my parents’ good health.  ‘Nuff said.
2. I’m thankful for the roof over my head.  Do you ever take a minute to step back and think about what you would do if you didn’t have a place to go home to?  It’s awfully cold out there today, and I consider it a blessing to be sitting here in my warm house instead of  being outside huddled around some fire trying to keep from getting Hypothermia.
3. I’m thankful for my job.  I’ll admit I complain about going to work sometimes, but after seeing what Brian is going through, I’m happy to be driving into work every morning!
4. I’m thankful for Thanksgiving food!!!  I love, and I do mean LOVE, food.  Just take a look at my waistline!  And I plan on expanding that waistline today.
5. I’m thankful we get to spend Thanksgiving day with Bella this year. 
6. I’m thankful we got to pick Bella up from her daycare this week.  It was such a treat to meet all her little classmates since we usually don’t get to see her interact with too many children her age when she’s here.
7. I’m thankful for the smell of Scotch tape.  Random, I know, but can you IMAGINE a world with no Scotch tape?
8. I’m thankful for our dog Jaxon.  I just love his personality!  He’s always there to cheer us up and bring a smile to our face when we need one.  Plus he’s soft and snuggly.
9. I’m thankful for my ghetto car.  Once again, something I complain about quite often, but it DOES get me safely from place to place.  Most of the time anyway….
10. And last but not least, I’m thankful for my wonderful fiance Lenny.  It’s been a long road with some unexpected twists and turns, but I’m thankful I went down that road because it let me straight to Lenny.  He is the best thing that ever happened to me and I’m looking forward to being able to call him my husband someday soon.  He truly is my rock.
