Happy Thanksgiving!




10 Things I am Thankful For:


1. chilly days. for they make me appreciate the warm ones.
2. little fights with my husband. for it teaches me grace & helps me grow.
3. my 3 year old peeing his pants. again. for it teaches me patience. 
4. my current sore throat. for it gives me an excuse to rest a little.
5. a sink full of dirty dishes. for it is evidence that we had food to eat. there are some who are hungry.
6. my 5 month old keeping me up last night. for it reminds me that i am lucky to have him. some mamas' arms are empty.
7. being lonely lately. for it makes time with true friends even that more special.
8. my ghetto gold minivan. for it means no car payments or debt, which equals peace of mind.  
9. annoying politics. for it means i live in a country where we all have the right to vote.
10. You. Yes, YOU. Because if you're reading this blog post, that means that God has put you in my life for a reason. whether that is to annoy, help, frustrate, encourage, or love me - all of that is teaching/has taught me something. old friend, new friend, family, or total stranger. i truly am thankful for you
