30 days to be Thankful...

I'm making it my goal to post every day about something I'm Thankful for, for the month of November. (Yes I know I've missed 2 days already so I'll make them up today). After all, Thanksgiving is in 19 days. (And Christmas is in 52 days). Your welcome! :)

Side note: These are not in order of importance (although Day 1, is #1). These are just what come to mind in that moment.

Day 1- Thankful for my amazingly, perfectly made for me, hubby! For those "Friends" watchers....He's my Lobster. :) He is my hero...our kids' hero, actually because of his occupation, he's everyones hero. I can't imagine life without him. He completes me. He "gets" me, because let's face it...I'm hard to "get" sometimes. He's brave, strong, knowledgeable, determined, hardworking, handy, a problem solver(thank goodness, because I am not), funny, sassy(which is perfect for me because I'm sassy back), helps me think before I speak, and he keeps me calm and helps me breathe when there is literally smoke steaming from my ears! :) I could go on and on about ALL the reasons why I love and am Thankful for my hubby...but I'll just put those few. So Thankful that I get to spend eternity with my best friend!

Day 2- Thankful...because I'm eating some right now, thanks to Halloween....CHOCOLATE! A mini heath bar to be exact. Oh it's delightful. And okay okay! I ate 2, and I'm about to go for another. Seriously...what is it about chocolate that makes everything melt away...except for the pounds?! I love the stuff. I actually have 1, 2, 3, 4 oh ya 5...secret stashes in my house. That's normal, right? lol. Well, I'm very thankful for chocolate in all its forms.

Day 3- Thankful for a roof over my head. It literally breaks my heart when I see/hear about devastations that ruin peoples homes. Sometimes I feel I have it so easy compared to other countries or even in our own country. I do take it for granted. I get so busy in my everyday agenda, that I lose track of why I even get to have an agenda. I want my kids to be grateful for what they have. They aren't going to have "what all the other kids have". (I'm sure I'll hear those words eventually). I'm scared for the future generation being given whatever they want. I am very thankful for what I have and hope I can teach my kids to be thankful too.
