This is another year where Jay is unable to be with us for Thanksgiving due to being off at school. We have been fortunate enough that my mom came out to visit us for this holiday and that has been a hidden blessing. There is so much to be thankful for this year for us. So many truly wonderful blessings have come in our lives of late. This year I'm thankful for:
1. Jay having a stable job during these economic times.
2. The kids, they keep me on my toes and bring so much happiness to me
3. The dog, she may drive me up the wall most days right now but she helps put me at ease and feel safe at night after the kids are in bed.
4. This amazing country we live in. We have so many freedoms in this nation that many countries do not offer. I truly love being an American.
5. My faith. It is my rock and truly helps keep me sane during the hard times. I wouldn't be who I am without my faith.
6. My friends. I don't have a lot of close friends, but the ones I do have I cherrish a great deal.
7. The extended family.
8. The financial freedom we are finally in. No more burden of being in debt.
9. To have the home we live in and know that we're okay.
10. Most important of all, Jay. He loves me so unconditionally and is so supportive of all that I do. He has been there for me, even when he isn't physically here with us he is still supportive.
Truly there is much to be greatful for this year. So much more than I can say on here, that is for sure. Remember, Thanksgiving means to Give Thanks.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
