So blessed ...

I have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!


{1} First and foremost, a great fiance who loves me, even when it's tough love :) I'm so grateful I don't have a "yes" man who is on a leash, because I know who I am really with. J is a great provider, protector and handyman.


{2} I'm thankful for a family who loves me unconditionally, although they don't always (OK, almost never) agree with me. 


{3} Although it's going to be a crazy day attending THREE Thanksgiving meals, I'm grateful to have the family time. 


{4} I'm so blessed to have an amazing group of friends. They are totally my support network and help me be a better person. 


{5} Even though I sometimes complain, I'm thankful to have a job I love with some of the greatest bosses anyone can ask for.


{6} I'm thankful for a full fridge, freezer and pantry .


{7} I'm thankful for the overflowing laundry baskets and stuffed closet


{8} I'm thankful for my silly dog, Hank.


{9} I'm thankful for an awesome horse, Doc. And two not-so-awesome horses, Scarlett and Jax. 


{10} I'm grateful for eyes that see, ears that hear, the ability to walk, talk, and so much more. Not everyone has that. 


{11} I'm thankful that I have a car 


{12} Thank goodness for my good health!


{13} I'm thankful for a beautiful home, even if it is messy. It means we are living our life!


{14} I'm thankful for those pounds that I can't seem to lose — I have plenty to eat.


{15} I'm so incredibly grateful to have a Mom who is a lot like me --- not only is she a sounding board, she supports me on my crazy adventures. 


{16} Even though I've lost my last living grandparent this year, I'm thankful for the 25 years I did get to spend with her — and the time and memories I had with my other grandma and other loved ones that I've lost


{17} I'm thankful for the trials in my life — they help to show me just how strong I am!


{18} I'm thankful for the "mean people" out there — they inspire me to be a better person.


{19} I'm thankful for Claritan. Somedays, I don't know how I'd operate without it.


{20} I'm thankful for text messaging and social media. It makes it so.much.easier to keep in touch.


{21} I'm thankful for rain. It poured on Wednesday, but we needed it. 


{22} I'm thankful for good TV that makes me think. It's an amazing backdrop for J and I to spend quality time together every night. 


{23} I'm thankful for my mistakes — I've learned from them.
