I am so thankful for the good things and the hard things in my life because even on the hard things..... they don't compare even remotely to what some go through!
Life is full of puddles its how we get through them that matters:) Because between the sunny days and dark clouds there will always puddles....
1. I am so thankful for my family.....to have a family.... my children and husband for the efforts they make to do what is right and a husband who works hard 24-7 for us....
2. I'm thankful for a warm house that I'm not a pioneer in the plains on a snowy night that's a lot to be thankful for. I'm also thankful that said house is getting sidewalks and new wide beautiful front steps built this week and next:)) By my jack of all trades husband:)
3. I am thankful for Monday night connections to my kids and as a family. A time to learn whats important and making time for it, its kind of our family council night where we plan out our week and calender and talk about the past week and what we can do better and I most times now someone wants to play the opening and closing song on the piano and I love that!!
4. Thankful for the things that make our kids happy.... Miss L made the Cheer Squad and she is super happy. I hope she loves it and learns a lot {I on the other hand need a cheer adjustment;) Which will come quickly ha ha} If she's happy I'm happy for her!
Proud of her too for getting out there and trying!
6. Thankful for little moments that happen that rarely do anymore that I cherish even longer because I know they will be a last before I realize it is....
7. Thankful for good shows that get me up in the morning to run on my treadmill and keep me going currently addicted to Heartland right now took me long enough ha ha
8. Thankful for thanksgiving we had it here and just had my parents and brother and his kids and our favorite D & C came and best of all the meal turned out great:) My first full thanksgiving meal {and I forgot to take a picture the whole day:( .....BUT it was so fun to see everyone even though there were so many missing. It felt more like Christmas because it snowed a whole lot and I listened to Christmas music so it was a beautiful day:) Speaking of Christmas check out this new album of one of my favorite groups
9. Thankful that we know who is in charge in the end no matter who wins any election here or there..... its scary.... but we know.. and I'm thankful for that knowledge .....not really for how things will play out.... but for the knowledge to know who in the end is in charge!
Its the surviving in between the end;)
10. Thankful for articles that make me think and make me a better parent:)) Love this post what kind of kids are we raising? My goal is responsible adults?

and everything to do with the FOCUS of our lives."
