Giving Thanks

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

This holiday feels a tad weird for me today because we aren't with family this year. I decided to stay at home and share some time with my daughter instead. Basically, I didn't feel like driving to Louisiana! On the real, I just hope we can give thanks for all our blessings and enjoy each other's company instead of getting on each other's nerves like we usually do.

I am thankful for my baby girl because she has brought unconditional love into my life. Even when we are upset with each other, the love is still there. She tells me how much she loves me and I try to do the same even though I wasn't raised to say I love you and hug and kiss all the time.

I am thankful that we have a roof over our head no matter what issues we have with the house. It is steadfast, keeps us warm and dry and we always have a place to come back to at the end of the day.

I am thankful for the family and friends that are constants in our lives. I cried last night because I feel sorry for the missing family that I've never met and the lack of friends but I do know the people we do have in our lives care about us.

I am thankful for our health. I am especially thankful for the health benefits we do have because I know there are some that don't have any at all and really need them

Lastly, I am thankful for my job. I hate it with a passion. I am bored to death by it but it provides income for my small family in these hard economic times.

I think it is important to put things down in black and white from time to time so you can get a clear perspective on your situation. Life is too too short and we should give thanks to what you have and what you don't have. I guess T.I. is right about that.

Until next time
