Being Thankful

I needed to give myself a little reminder of the blessings in my life today, so I thought I'd just make a list of a few things I'm Thankful for:

• I'm thankful for my kids, even though they can be a handful at times.
• I'm thankful for having a roof over my head, even though it leaked this past winter in the kitchen and was a complete nightmare.
• I'm thankful for my husband who always keeps trying, even when things get hard.
• I'm thankful for my friends, new and old, who have been there to help keep my spirits up.
• I'm thankful for living in a country where I'm allowed to drive, go in public without my husband and hold a job if I would like to.

There are a thousand other things I could probably list, but those 5 will be enough for right now to remind me that no matter how bad it looks, life is still full of little blessings. Now I'll take a deep breath and count the hours until bedtime so I can start fresh tomorrow.
