What Are you Truly Thankful For?

With Thanksgiving coming up this Thursday conversation always turn to what we are thankful for.  As I pondered the question these last few days, I came up with a list of what I am truly thankful for.

1:  My children, Triston and Bailey and their relationship with me as well as with each other.  I love that they can laugh and share so much with each other and are best of friends (even though they sometimes fight) They are both tender loving children who I feel are very polite and respectful.  I love the young man and young lady that they have become.

2:  My husband Brett.  We have been together almost 21 years, and over those years, we have grown up a lot together and have encountered many challenges (good and bad).  I am thankful that he has been faithful and loving and supportive all of these years.  He truly is my best friend.

3:  My mom.  Who isn't thankful for their mom right?  I'm most thankful that I can still see my mom and talk to her and that 81 she is still independant and active (for the most part)  I am thankful for the encouragement that she has always given me to move forward and be my own person.

4:  I am thankful that I got to spend time with both my dad (John) and my sister (Angie) before they passed.  I got to say goodbye and remind them how much I loved them.  I am a better person for being a part of their lives.

5:  I am of course thankful for our Freedom and all of the rights we have.  Thankful for all of our Military and everything that they do and the sacrifices they make.
