Changing it up this week since Thanksgiving is this
Thursday. So today I bring you:
25 things I am Thankful for (in no particular
order)…
1. A 3 day
work week…….weeeeeeee! Does that mean today would be considered Monday-Wednesday? J
2. Grateful
I am gainfully employed with benefits and a generous salary.
3. Parents…..blessed
that both mine and Ray’s are still on this earth.
4. Siblings….well
all 8 of them! I love that I have such a
huge dysfunctional family. J Ray is still adjusting to such a large
family. Lol….
5. Children…our
big family of blended children, doesn’t get any better than that.
6. Grandchildren…well
what can you say, they are truly God’s gift and I love them all dearly.
7. The
Lovelies….what would I do without you? There
are no words to describe how much you mean to me and how grateful I am that we
are together, y’all are truly a blessing.
8. Friends…how
blessed I am to have so many wonderful, kind, loving, funny, caring, remarkable
new and old friends in my life.
9. My
husband…my life has changed so much since 2012.
I am grateful for my wonderful loving husband. In the
beginning tried to persuade him that he didn’t want to get involved with me,
boy am I glad he didn’t listen. J
10.
Lorraine joining us for Thanksgiving dinner this year. J
11. Small
business Saturday shopping with Tena…….hoping this will continue to become an
annual event.
12. Home…whether
it is the house I live in or the State of Michigan, nothing warms my heart more
than being home.
13. The
lake house up north….it has been in our family for close to 60 years, it’s our
bloodline, its where so many memories reside.
I love that house.
14. Co-workers…I
have been truly blessed to work with, past and present, so many remarkable
people. The bonus is that a majority of
them may no longer be a co-worker, but we are still friends.
15. Coffee….oh
how do I describe this wonderful love affair with coffee. J lol….
16. My
health…grateful for every single day that I am healthy and alive.
17. My dog
Teddy…I rescued him many, many years ago and I’m happy he is still with me.
18.
Pinterest…yes Pinterest, if it wasn’t for Pinterest I would not have
discovered chalk paint. J
19.
Facebook…for bringing so many amazing people into my computer, my life
and in my heart.
20. Shoes…ok
did you really think I would complete this list without mentioning shoes? Lol…
21.
Grateful for a husband who LOVES to grocery shop!
22. I am
thankful that my idea of doing the Toys for Tots campaign at work is turning
out to be a huge success.
23.
Grateful for the ability to wake up every morning and make the decision
to be happy and to try to bring a little bit of happiness to wherever my day
may lead me.
24. I am
grateful that I am at the age where I do not “sweat the small stuff”. Some people learn this sooner than others, it
doesn’t matter when you figured it out, it just matters that you do.
25. And
last but not least I can say that I am so very thankful and truly blessed, although
life has not always been easy, it is my life and I am extremely happy for
everything I have experienced, learned, loved, lost….but most importantly I am
grateful for all of these experiences because they have helped to get to where
I am today.
