A day for giving thanks....

I just wanted to write a brief note regarding what I am most thankful for this Thanksgiving.....
*My wonderful, beautiful daughter, who truly means the world to me and amazes me each day. I cannot imagine life without her.
*My husband, whom I do not show my thanks for enough. If not for him, I wouldn't be able to spend all of these glorious days with my daughter - I would instead be working. And who else would put up with all my horrible mood swings? Oh yeah, and I'm SO thankful he still finds me sexy after all the changes my body has gone through since he married me!
*My insurance..... I know, who gives thanks to their insurance? Okay, maybe I should thank the government, since we have military insurance. But anyways, without them I would not have my beautiful little girl, and I would not have the opportunity to have yet another little miracle in my life in the hopefully-near future. And for that I am very thankful.
*My family, who I am beginning to realize will not always be there. We have unfortunately lost too many important members (my father-in-law, my dad, my husband's grandma, and my grandpa in the past 6 years) and it has really made me realize that life is too short and can end unexpectedly so to appreciate what you have more while it is here. I am truly thankful for the time I get to spend with my family.
*My friends , some of whom who are more like family to me than my own blood (you know who you are!). I am so thankful that I have friends who have been and, I believe, always will be there when I need them.

I hope that all of you have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving. Enjoy the time with those who are special to you.....
