Thankful

I have decided that I really need to appreciate all the good things in my life, however big or small.  I don’t want to take anything for granted and I want to enjoy every minute of everything I do.  I tend to be a little bit on the negative side.  A while back, I wrote a list of all the things I would do if I had more time, which did tend to be a bit negative.  Instead, I am going to think of things that make me happy each day that I get the time to enjoy, and all the things that I am thankful for!

·          The quietness of the house when I get up early and get to sit in the dark and drink my coffee.

·         Hearing Kenna call for me in her singsong voice each morning when she wakes up.

·         Getting some good alone snuggle time in with Brinley when she decides to wake up at 4:30 am, and the happy smile she always gives me as I am trying to rock her back to sleep.

·         The time I get to spend with just me and Joe either before the girls get up, or after they go to bed, where we get to really just sit and talk to each other, without the TV on.

·         Getting to spend time with our great family and friends, and knowing how lucky we are to have them in our lives.

·         Knowing that although I don’t love my job, I am lucky to have a job and one that allows me to bring my girls with me.

·         Seeing the new things my daughters learn on a daily basis and knowing that I am teaching it to them.

·         The exhilarating feeling after getting in a good workout. J

·         Being able to feed, clothe, and provide for our family.
