Thankful

As I sit here on my sofa, under a warm blanket with coffee in hand, watching "Wizards on Deck" with my kids, I realize how blessed I truly am. I tend to be a glass half empty type of person. On this Thanksgiving I can't help but see how full my life is.

~I'm thankful for my Love who is building her photography business day by day. I think she's a rock star and I can't believe she loves little old me.

~I'm thankful for the Z-Man and the Princess. They are incredibly brilliant, gorgeous, funny, down to earth, sweet and caring kids. They love me unconditionally as I do them. They say kids pick their parents. If that's so I'm honored they chose me.

~I'm thankful we have a place to live. We may be cramped but it forces us to be closer as a family.

~I'm thankful for my job. I just celebrated my 4 year anniversary. I have a very laid back supervisor and my co-workers are my closest friends.

~I'm thankful for my mom, brother, nieces, aunts, uncles and the rest of my extended family. I don't see them that often but I hope they know how much I love them.

~I'm thankful for my friends, yes YOU, who love and support me. My friends who make me laugh, smile and cry. My friends who love me even when I'm crazy.

~I'm thankful for our troops serving here and overseas. Protecting our freedom doesn't take a break for Thanksgiving.

~I'm especially thankful for a good friend who invited us over for Thanksgiving dinner. The only thing I have to make is deviled eggs.

~Lastly, I'm thankful for elastic waistband pants.

From my family to yours, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
