At this time of thanksgiving I would be remise if I did not give thanks for my many blessings that I enjoy.  I am thankful for my Father in heaven who watches over me and my family each and everyday.  I am grateful for my family-my husband who takes his job seriously as a spouse, father and provider of his family, my boys who are healthy, happy and rambunctious, and for all the rest of my family who love me for who I am and who are willing to call me daughter and sister.  I am so glad that I have the opportunity to better myself by getting an education and for the support I get from everyone around me, they all deserve a pat on the back for being there for me.  I am grateful for a home, food, jobs, running water, heat, electricity, basic necessities that we take for granted everyday.  I love my thick, warm fleece blanket and my slipper boots that keep my feet warm.  I am grateful for bowls of hot soup on a cold day.  And a steaming cup of hot cocoa when I am up late doing homework.  I am grateful for peace and quiet when the kids are all tucked up in bed and I can just relax without any distractions.  I am grateful for date nights with my husband (which are few and far between because we are both so busy and TIRED!)  I love that my son is old enough to babysit for us :) I am grateful that my sons make good choices and have friends who have the same standards that they do.  I love that I am blessed each and every day.
