Give Thanks With a Grateful Heart (Week 5)

Saturday, November 26, 2011
On this day I am thankful to be an American! What a great country we live in! One in which we have many freedoms and are able to express our creativity! Thank you to all the soldiers who fight for our freedom, so that everyday I am able to do what I love!

On this day I show gratitude to all the "mom and pop" stores out there! I love a small-town feel of certain stores. I love their individuality! When I lived in Austin, I was not a frequent Starbucks-er becasue I enjoyed privately owned coffee shops! Although those stores are not as numurous in the DFW as they are in other areas, Josh and I still have our favorites and know the owners by first name!

On this day I give thanks for my health and great immune system. Working in a school has helped me build up my immunity to little sicknesses that go around! I am very thankful that I am able to stay healthy (for the most part) and not have to miss work because of an illness!

On this day I give thanks for the laughter in my life! Josh and I laugh together everyday! My students crack me up! My sisters and mom get me laughing so hard I nearly cry! My best friends always know how to get me going! Being able to laugh, even in the "bad times," is truly a blessing! "I love to laugh....loud and long and clear!"

Last but not least, on the last day of November, I give thanks for my husband! Everyday when I wake up, I say a prayer of thanksgiving to God for bringing another blessed day in my life! I always include how blessed I am to have Josh in my life, as well! He has truly been the best part of my life! I'm thankful to have found my soulmate and best friend!

I truly am thankful everyday for all of this and more! I try to live my life showing my thanks! I want to challenge myself to be thankful at ALL times of the year....not just November!

Until next year...
Keep it fabulous!
