In honor of this Day of Thanks, I thought I’d forgo the usual Random Thoughts and instead share some things that I’m thankful for. I’ll do it randomly, though. It is Thursday, after all :)Family. I have the most wonderful husband and the most beautiful daughters in the world. You can argue with me on that if you want to, but I’ll still be right. And Chris and I are both blessed to come from amazing families. My kids have the best grandparents, aunts, and uncles in the world!
Music. If you want to get a message across to me, music is the best way to do it. Nothing moves me quite as much. I don’t think I could live without it.
Chocolate. Something else I doubt I could live without.
The gospel of Jesus Christ. I know my Savior lives, and I know He loves me. I am grateful for all the blessings He has provided me. I hope I can live up to His standard. I try.
Netflix. Fun and easy entertainment: the constant of our weekends.
Sunshine. Rare. Beautiful. Warm.
Traditions. We went bowling again today. It was awesome. It's the first real tradition our family has had that's separate from the families Chris and I grew up in, and the girls won't let us forget. I have some great pictures from today that I will post soon.
Harry Potter books on tape. It’s getting old listening to snippets of the same two books over and over and over and OVER, but they’ve gotten Lexi excited about books, and that’s definitely a good thing. I’m willing to make sacrifices to encourage the development of another book lover.
Facebook (there, I said it). Thanks to my cave in several months ago, I’ve reunited with people I have had no contact with for over 10 years. That, if nothing else, makes it worth it and worthy of this list.
Friends. New and old. One is silver and the other gold. I have friends all over the world, and each of you has helped me to become the person I am today. You are an inspiration
Oh, and everyone who reads my blog! Am I cool enough that I can say I have “readers” yet? I don’t know. But I appreciate anyone who is actually interested in the life and thoughts of me.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
