"No matter how difficult life may be at times, there is always something to be thankful for."
~Mama Hen
It is Thanksgiving Thursday and I am so blessed to be able to share this day with you each week! As I wrote in past posts, I am trying very hard to capture my moments with my beautiful family and to hold on to them as much as I can. I think by giving thanks it is a great way of recognizing just how much we all have. I think too often we can get so wrapped up in daily tasks that we unintentionally can take things for granted. So my goal has been to become more "aware" of all my gifts no matter how small they may be and say thank you! Here are this weeks five things I am grateful for:
1.) Little Chick and my family.2.) having been loved as a child by two amazing parents and grandparents!
3.) being able to buy plenty of books for Little Chick. She loves to read!
4.) for having health insurance.
5.) having energy to keep up with Little Chick and be able to do many fun things!
