Thankful people are happy people

You may think I have completely forgotten Thanksgiving with all the Christmas talk I've been doing.

Not so I say!

That's truth right there

I can't wait for some good ole quality family time this week, 

and I'm certainly counting all my blessings.

There are too many to list {Thanks be to God} but here are just a few...

~ Hubsy.  

Life is less scary with him by my side.  I'm free to do so many things 

I would never even attempt without him.  He is absolutely my rock and my sanity.

~ Home. 

The very fact that I have a safe-haven for my body, mind, and soul.

~ Mornings.  

Daily re-birth that let's me start anew.  Everything looks brighter in the morning.

~ Motherhood.  

Never have I been so challenged or so full of love.  My boys have taught me so much about
myself and the kind of person I want to be.

~ Email

I probably wouldn't talk to anybody with out it.  

(If you know me you know I hate using the phone)

~ Pooches.  

The love of a dog is like no other.
Endless, unconditional, silly, endearing, sweet, it all these and more.

~ Forgiveness.

Not only from my Jesus, but from everyone.
I am such a flawed woman in need of forgiveness.

~ Laughter.

My kids say such hilarious things that make me crack up.  Those moments are priceless.  I'm trying to get back to writing them down so I can have a record of them to keep.

~ Music.

It can lift me up like no other.
Give me a good beat and watch me smile as I start to jam, head-bob and all.
My E does it too :)

~ Giving.

Making a difference in someone's life, no matter how small, is such a blessing. I wish I could do more and am looking into more ways to do so.

~ Blog friends.

You're friendship has blessed me more than I can say.

And lastly in honor of the Thanksgiving meal...

~ Candied Sweet Potatoes.

The ones with brown sugar, pecans, and marshmallows on top. Can I get an Amen!?

Wishing you and yours a warm, loving, and pants-splitting Happy Thanksgiving :)
