Thursday Thanks

Day to day life can bring many challenges, but in the quiet moments, I am overwhelmed with appreciation for so many people, places, and things in my life. The list below is not meant to be exhaustive, but on this Thursday I give thanks for the following:
  • My son, Matt, who is the greatest blessing in my life. He has had a very difficult year but has managed to come through it with a positive attitude and a renewed belief in himself with hope for his future.
  • My family, who continue to amaze me with their caring, humor, wit, dependability and heart. I have incredible parents who will celebrate their 57th anniversary this summer and I am blessed with four brothers, one sister, in-laws and nieces and nephews that I adore.
  • My friends, who have shown me through the trials and tribulations of this past year that their love is unwavering and their support is without end.
  • I am thankful for the technology that eliminates the distance between me and those I love. It is wonderful to be able to connect and reconnect with friends and family both near and far.
  • My little dog, Misty, who is going to be 14 in July and still runs around with pep in her step. No matter how many hours I work or play, she is always happy to see me when I get home.
  • Even on the days when the stress is through the roof and the to-do list is never-ending, I am very thankful for my job. In today's economy, I know I am blessed to have steady employment which provides for me and my family.
  • Oh my gosh, since I just got my hair cut today, I have to say that I am thankful for my hairdresser, Babs. She has been styling my hair for well over a decade and she is amazing. Aside from having a beauty shop that is a magic shop, she has become a dear friend.
  • My humble abode, which is my little haven from the world.

As I said, there are many people, places and things that I am thankful for, but I will leave it at this for today. Simply put, my heart is full.
