A Better List

The other day was a bad day, and I took it out on the internet by posting a list of complaints. I feel better today, and, in the spirit of Thankgiving, I will post a list of what I am thankful for. Please add your comments and tell me what you are thankful for!

I’m thankful for Brian. He is the best husband anyone could ever ask for, and an awesome dad. I am thankful that, because he has sacrificed his career for mine, he is able to stay home with the kids during the day, and I’m thankful that he is willing to work at night to bring in extra income.

I’m so thankful for our kids. They are beautiful and funny and smart. They bring so much joy into our family. They are so caring of others, and say things that make my heart melt. I’m thankful for their super-awesome hugs and their tiny kisses. I’m thankful to be able to snuggle with them on the couch and hold their little hands when we walk.

I’m thankful for my job. I love what I do, I love the people I work with and the people I work for. I’m so happy to have been able to transfer within my company from Michigan to California. I am so thankful to work for such a family oriented company.

I’m thankful that we live in California. Last year, I vowed that we would not spend another winter in Michigan. I’m thankful that I was able to keep that vow. Even though it’s rainy today, I’m so thankful that it’s not snow.

I’m thankful for our extended family. I’m thankful that my mom is coming to stay with us for a month, because I miss her. I’m thankful that she has people to help her out now that we have moved. I’m thankful for Brian’s mom, and her incredible generosity. I’m thankful for all of our siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

I’m thankful for our friends, both new and old. I’m so thankful that some new friends invited us over for Thanksgiving dinner. It means the world to me that they would think of us. And I’m thankful for all of our friends back home who emailed us to make sure we were ok when the fires were raging around us.

I’m thankful for the internet, for allowing us to keep in contact with our family and friends.

I’m thankful that we found a new church.

I have been blessed in so many ways that I can’t possibly list them all here. This is a good start. Please, list what you are thankful for in the comments.

I hope that you all have a great Thanksgiving!
