Thank You!

I love Thanksgiving! I love the big family dinners with lots of food and lots of time to visit. It's one of my favorite things ever. Unfortunately, things don't always work out so that I get to enjoy the holidays, but I am going to take a chance to list a few of the things I am thankful for.

1 - Always at the top of the list, my Heavenly Father. Every day in everything I do, I know that He is there and that He loves me, and that makes everything easier to bear.

2 - My Savior. I can't even list all the things He has done for me.

3 - My husband! Randy is the greatest! I knew he was great when I married him, but he just gets better with time!

4 - My kids! They are so much fun to be around. I love them for all their different qualities. They make me laugh so much.

5 - The rest of my family and my wonderful in-laws. I am so glad that my folks live nearby now. It's great to be able to get together. And I married into a family just as awesome as mine!

6 - My comfy lifestyle. I am definitely not living the "lifestyles of the rich and famous,' but when I look around my home, I see a nice, sturdy house that keeps out the weather, electricity, running water, my computers - more than one!, furniture, lots and lots of books, separate bedrooms, a garage with a somewhat reliable car inside - and there are so many people on the planet who don't have all that. I am very blessed.

Happy Thanksgiving! It's a little late, but I figure there is always a good reason to be thankful!
