Thankful Tuesday!

There is so much to be thankful for if we would only we would stop a moment and reflect upon it. So that is what I am going to do today. I am going to do what my dad always said I could do. I am going to count my blessings-name them one by one.

1. My hubby-He has put up with a lot from me and here he still is. For that alone, he deserves a medal.

2.) My children-I am so blessed to have such happy, healthy little boys! I am also blessed to be apart of my step-sons life. What an honor it is to be able to love someone and get love from someone and not even be his real mother! I am blessed.

3.) My family-From my mom to my brother to my cousins and in-laws. I am simply blessed with a family that supports me and loves me no matter what.

4.) My home-Though I complain about the size, I am so blessed to have a home that is almost paid for, that is in a location close to work and virtually everything else!

5.) My job-I am so extremely lucky to be able to teach swimming and lifeguarding. It isn't often that one gets to do a job they love and make their own schedule!

6.) My friends-I am blessed to have friends that have been there for me since the 5th grade...when I moved to WV! I am also blessed to have newer friends that have children and lend an ear when I am in need!

7.) My van-I still can't get over how much easier it is to get around with the kids now that we have the van! And the built in DVD player is like manna from heaven!

My dad always said that 7 was a perfect number so I am going to stop there. Tell me, what are you thankful for?
