Happy Thanksgiving

It is Thanksgiving and I know I have a lot to be thankful for. I am thankful for my wonderful husband who has stood by my side for over five years. He gives me love, support and laughter. I love him with all my heart and he is still the first person I call when anything happens.

I am thankful for my family. My mom who has always been there for me and taught me a lot about living life to the fullest (even on a budget). I will always remember our vacations to Bluff, the swinging bridge... all good times. I am thankful for my dad and all the laughter and fun he has given me - I have a tendency to have drinks come out of my nose and tears out of my eyes from laughing so hard with him. There are some great memories - disneyland, seaworld (getting kicked out of), making mud pies in the ditch, snowman. I could go on about my family but I will just end with saying my life is very full of love and I am very lucky to have such great family.

I am thankful for my job. It may not be my dream job but it has brought so many great people into my life. I have some really close friends and even though things are a little scary in the business world thanks to the economy it is nice to have friends to talk things out with and share it with.

I am also thankful for changes. I used to hate changes because I love stability but I am learning to deal with changes better and rolling with the punches is a lot better then being stubborn and getting stale. I know the next year will bring even more changes for me as I start school again after 10 years of being out. But if my grandma can go back to school in her 40's and with 8 children then I can surely handle this.

So today I am off to spend time with loved ones and enjoy the day. I hope everyone takes time to reflect today on what they are thankful for and to spend time with ones they love.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
