Giving Thanks

It is so easy to complain.  To think of all of the negative things going on in my life.  The weather stinks.  The girls are fighting like crazy.  My house is a mess.  I'm tired.  You get the idea.  Far too often, I'm ashamed to admit, I focus on all the bad things going on in my life & not the good & wonderful things staring right in my face.  So on Thursdays during the month of November, I'm going to do some Thankful Thursdays posts to encourage me to focus on all of the wonderful things in my life & to give thanks & praise to this awesome life that I have!

* I am thankful for all of the rain that we do have, because without it, we would not have beautiful summers that look like this:


* I am thankful for a hard working husband.  Because of his drive & dedication at work, I am able to stay home with the girls. 



* I am thankful for these little pieces of yumminess.  They have been a tasty end of the night treat (and maybe mid afternoon too) after a busy, long day.

* I am thankful for my outgoing, social little girl.  I love that she adores school & her friends, and that she is so enthusiastic about life.  She is such a confident, happy girl & I am so thankful that I was chosen to be her mom.


* I am thankful for my mini-me .  She loves her daddy, but there is something about her mama that she just loves.  She loves to sit on my lap, cuddle with me, give me hugs & kisses, and be near me at all times.  I love that she's a mama's girl!


* I am thankful for reality television.  Nothing like sitting down at night & zoning out to some mindless TV.  My current favorites are Dancing with the Stars, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, & Kendra.


* I am thankful for the ability to exercise.  Is is not only good for my health & keeps me in shape, but it is an excellent stress reliever.  It is the 'me' time that I cherish & look forward to throughout the week.



What are YOU thankful for?
