Being thankful

Since November started, I have been watching my Facebook newsfeed fill up daily with things that my friends/acquaintances/other are thankful for.  Although I don't partake in listing the things I am thankful for daily, I think this is a cute idea.  Therefore, I have decided to list a couple of things I am thankful for, here, on this completely awesome blog.

I am thankful to God every day for another day on this Earth.  I am thankful for my loving husband that constantly makes me laugh and lets me be me.  I am thankful that I have two beautiful little boys.  They may get on my nerves at times but I would give my life for them and could not imagine my world without them.  I am thankful to have been blessed with being born into one incredible loving family with 2 of the best parents I could ask for and 2 of the best sisters ever.  I always wanted a little brother growing up but am so glad now, in hindsight, that I have my sisters.  We are a pretty close knit group.  I am also thankful for the extended family that I was born into.  My cousins/grandparents/aunts/uncles.  They have all played a huge role in my life and have given me memories that I continue to share with others.  I am thankful for having married into a loving group of "in-law" family members.  They show us love and kindness and make me feel like I have always been part of their family.  I am thankful for my health.  I am thankful for my mother teaching me manners that I will continue to pass on to my children.  I could go on and on all day about things I am thankful for. 

Thanksgiving just reminds us that every day of the year, not just this one day, we should be thankful for all of the gifts in our life.  Our life is not guaranteed so we should be greatful for every day that we get.

One last thankful thing to mention.......I am thankful for Facebook, so that I am able to cyber stalk my friends/acquaintances/other!  :)
