It's a little hard to feel grateful when you're in a funk, but I really did have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I cooked, as usual, but we had our very good friends over and I enjoyed that very much.
So what am I thankful for? A sexy, loving husband who treats me with the respect I deserve. Two awesome boys who have taught me about acceptance and unconditional love. A sweet little princess who completes me. I am thankful that, even though it sometimes hurts to do so, I can walk. I am thankful for my awesome body. It may not look the way I want right now but it has never let me down.
I am thankful that my husband has a job that he likes. I am thankful for the kindness of strangers. I am thankful for a warm house on nights like this and for the health that I enjoy. I am especially thankful that I can look at my life and see how very blessed I am and very much I do have to be thankful for.
So that's the short list. I really could go on all day.
I am so excited for Christmas. It is the one time of the year that I get to give my children whatever they want! I'm actually almost done with my Christmas shopping too. Black Friday did help a bit, even though I refused to wait in the cold and got there fairly late. We are getting a real tree this year!! We haven't had a real tree in years and I can't wait!!
