Thankful

I know...I know... everyone does the whole month full of thankfulness.  But, I've never done it and I'm not putting it on facebook everyday (not that there is anything wrong with that). So I thought I would give it a try.

I'm thankful for:
God: I have peace and understanding, for that I am truly thankful!
My wonderful husband: He deserves a medal for putting up with me and my craziness! I say this all the time, but I don't know what I did in another life to get him...but I hope I do enough in this one to keep him!
My fabulous family: If you haven't met them..you are missing out! They are great, and a little crazy too!
Wonderful friends: I am lucky to have friends that accept me for me and who support me when I need them!
My health: after the scares this year with friends and family I am happy to wake up and have my health
My job: with so many people out of work, I'm so proud that I have one! I love my students and I love making a difference in their lives!
Forgiveness: I know this goes with God, but I am so lucky to have forgiveness from the Lord.  I am also thankful to have forgiveness from friends and family.
The Sense of Smell: I love to smell stuff...I'm weird I know! But have you ever discovered a strange smell and thought, I'm proud I smelled that...well you should!
The Future: I can't wait to see what God has in store for me, my family, and my friends!
Laughter: I am usually the one making the jokes, but I love listening to people laugh!
Junior Auxiliary: I get more out of this than I put in...even when I'm stressing out over Angel Tree. Plus I am surrounded by great girls!
TV: well...I am and I bet you are too! Duck Dynasty and Revenge are my saving graces sometimes.
Trendy Top: If you haven't seen these...you have missed out! They are on the As Seen on TV aisle at Wally World
Music: Even if I don't have the voice I think I do, I sure love to sing!!
Cowbells: Such a wonderful sound...even if we aren't winning! I'm true Maroon!!
Christmas decorations: It just puts you in the spirit!
My Home: I love walking in and seeing what we've built together!
Reece's Pieces: Best Candy EVER!
My car: It's awesome and it smells good!
The Internet: I'll admit I'm a little addicted!
Blogging: enough said!

So I don't think any of those really were earth shattering, but I am so thankful for everything that I have. I am surrounded by wonderful people and I am lucky enough to have everything that I could ever want. This upcoming holiday season, I want to remember the reason we are really here...to help others. I found this quote the other day and I think that it is a great note to end on:

Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.
-John Wesley
