I am thankful

for so many things this year. Here is but a small list:

*My family is healthy for the most part. My grandma's cancer doctor says she is doing so well he doesn't have to see her anymore.

*Today Madison was her usual fun loving self

*I had a warm meal and a warm home today

*I have wonderful friends who bring me joy

*I have a car (this wasn't the case last Thanksgiving LOL)

*I have the best landlords in the world

*I feel I am where I am supposed to be in life right now

It's easy to think sometimes of all the things we wish for. I do that often especially when others speak of what they have. I am often envious and wish I too could have some of these things. And someday I will. But it only takes a small memory back to July/August and then I remember the things in my life that I am grateful for.

A few people have passed thru my life for but a moment. I am grateful for them also. They touched me in ways they may never know. I only hope that I can touch another's life in a positive way.

I never want

to feel the way I feel lately. It has been challenging with madison recovering. She isn't her normal happy go lucky self. I guess that is to be expected. But it's tiring for me. Very tiring.

So I am patiently waiting on the end of 10 days. I think I'd rather give up chocolate and pepsi than to go through this again LOL.

Well everyone else seems to have a blog....so I figured I would give it a shot. Will I keep up with it?? Who knows?

Off I go to bed. it's late and tomorrow is Thanksgiving.
