Happy Thanksgiving!!

This Thanksgiving, I really feel like I need to step back and look at everything that I really need to be thankful for. Its been such a tough year and at times I wasn't feeling thankful for anything, but today I realized some of the things that I complain about, are what I am thankful for the most:

--All the toys spread throughout my house-makes me thankful that my kids have so many toys to play with
--The dirty dishes in the sink-make me thankful that we have food to eat
--The piles of laundry-make me thankful that we have clothes to wear
--Putting gas in my car-makes me thankful that I have a car to drive
--Bitching about my job-makes me thankful that I am employed
--Yelling at my kids-makes me thankful that I have kids
--Having the alarm wake me up early-makes me thankful that I am alive another day

So many people have so much less and I just need to look at what I do have and appreciate every single gift I have been given!!
