Thankfullness

We all spend a lot of time complaining about this or that. I know I'm very guilty of that. But, as I look over the last few weeks, even though I've hit some all time lows with loss of pets, etc., I have a great deal to be thankful for and just wanted to take a minute or two to remind myself and those around me that I am thankful for my blessings.

I'm thankful for my pets - who surround me with unconditional love. They comfort me when I'm down and warm my body and soul like nothing or no one else can.

I'm thankful for my children - who are all happy, healthy, and well adjusted - even with a mom like me! They are exceptionally bright and make home schooling them very easy to do. I appreciate that they are well balanced and I know where they stand on things. They are independent thinkers and have a good value system.

I'm thankful for those that love me and care about me - my family and my friends. I always know that out there when I need it most there is someone who will pick up the other end of the line and just listen or pick me up when I need someone to lift my spirits.

I'm thankful that despite my health issues and the uncertainty with them, I'm still here and kicking. I have faith that at some point in the coming weeks - someone out there will figure it all out.

I'm thankful that my mom who faced kidney cancer can now say she is a cancer survivor. As quickly as it came on and was discovered, it was taken out. Things could have been so much worse but, she discovered it early and it was contained and that is a huge blessing.

Most of all, I'm thankful for all of you - those that come here and read what I have to say and make it feel like it matters - that what I think, feel and believe matters to someone out there.
