What I'm Grateful For
Days like today are the times when I sit back and concentrate on things that I am grateful for rather than the challenges ahead. I wanted to share with you some of the things I am grateful for:
1. My husband. Mark and I have been through alot in the short seven years we have been together. When things happen to us, we draw closer. Yesterday and today we have been especially close. And I would marry him over and over again a thousand times. For this I am grateful.
2. My children. They are the cutest, sweetest, little balls of affection and I love both of them. I love their redhair, freckles, and spunky attitudes. (That comes with the redhair.) I love having boys. For this I am grateful.
3. My mother and in-laws. My mom is very much my best friend. I spend a lot of time with her and she is always willing to go bat for me. I know a lot of people can't say this, but I LOVE my in-laws as well. My MIL and I get along famously...she knows I love her son and treat him with respect and she loves me as a daughter for it. My FIL is very thoughtful...and right now the only father I have. For this I am grateful.
4. My online friends. There are so many special friends that I have made on Bookieboo and twitter. The ones who know me personally are the most supportive and I love them for that. They put up with me and I can be a pain in the ass. For this I am grateful.
5. Challenges. I know that's a weird thing to be grateful for, but I've learned in my life that when God closes one door, he always opens up another one. That has been true for everything I have done. Most of all I realize that when you face a challenge, it's best to focus on how you will grow and learn from it rather then it's inconveniences. I will become a better person, wife, mother, business partner, organizer, etc. because of the things I must overcome. For this, I am grateful.
6. Life and health. I'm so thankful to God that I have my life and my family is healthy. So what if I have problems, doesn't everybody? What makes me think that I am special and don't deserve problems...I'm not perfect. I have the people around me that love me and I am becoming a stronger person. My life, just like everyone else's is precious. And because of my purpose in life, I'm helping people regain their own health. I get to do this...it's a blessing and a calling...and even though it has its ups and downs, it's a privilege and I'm well aware of that. For this I am grateful.
