What am I thankful for....?

I am thankful for my family who supports me in everything that I do. They may not always agree with my opinions and decisions, but they support me and love me. There are many that don't have family to love. I do, and I appreciate them. For that I am thankful

I am thankful for my friends who are there for me always. Like family, they may not always agree, but they always support. They love me for me and don't ask me to be anyone other than myself. There are many that don't have friends or don't know how to be a friend. I have both. For that I am thankful.

I am thankful to have not one but two jobs (sometimes 3 or 4)... I find my mind wandering at times; looking for the next best thing, when it is right under my nose. There are many that are on their last unemployment check wondering where the money for their milk and food will come from. I have a FT job that I don't hate and a PT job that I love. For that I am thankful

I am thankful for the superficial things as well. I am thankful that I have a scrap room filled with lots and lots (and LOTS and LOTS) of paper, ribbon, glue, too many to name. It is there for me when I get home and there when i wake up and there when I just want to be alone in my own little world. There are many that don't have a hobby to keep themselves busy with. I have a hobby and plenty of things to keep me busy. For that I am thankful

I am thankful for my step-daughter whom I love dearly. I am thankful for the car that I drive and the roof over my head. I am thankful for the big yard that I have and the gardens in the spring and summer. I am thankful for my 2 fat cats. I am thankful for nice neighbors. I am thankful for Panera Bread and Uno's. I am thankful for low-carb bagels from Dunkin Donuts. I am thankful for my camera so that I can capture my life and those moments and people that share in it. I am thankful for my glasses so that I can see. I am thankful for my clothes so you DONT have to see....... Most importantly, I am thankful for..............


YOU
Thank you for being you.
I wouldn't be who I am today if you weren't in my life
