A roof over my head. I know it's odd, but this is something I'm thankful for every night in my evening prayers. If anyone knows me, they know camping is NOT my style! I really don't know how the pioneers did it. I need running (hot) water, a toilet that flushes, a comfortable mattress, comfy blanket, and a roof over my head to protect me from nature. So thankful I was born today in America, which has given me the opportunity to be as spoiled as I am - even if it's in a teenie apartment!
I'm thankful for my husband. Whatever, it's cheesy I know, but Billy is what keeps this big pile of crazy together! He's been through many of my ups and downs, and (most of the time) knows how to calm me down. Life is so much better when you have someone to share your experiences with! He's a great sounding board, a shoulder to cry on, someone to cuddle up next to at night, someone to hear my complain when I've had it at home, and he is my best friend. Thankful for this gift I've been given.
Today, I am thankful for this amazing weather. I figured I'd better post this one today, because it's going to start raining tomorrow - and who knows when it will stop? Having a little boy makes me appreciate warm temperatures and no rain so much more than I ever have. It makes it possible for us to go on walks and go to the park, giving mommy and son some much-needed get-out-of-the-house time. I know this beautiful day won't last, and I plan to make the most of it!
This little man! His precious kisses, the way he says "hello" (ehWOH!), How he is so obsessed with shoes, our special bonding time during time-outs, our walks that seem to stretch for miles, but really it's only been a few feet of aimless wandering. I'm thankful for how special he makes me feel when he holds my hand, or give me an unsolicited kiss, or puts his head on my shoulder and says "night night." Even though this is a tough age, I'm thankful for this gift I've been fortunate enough to have been given.
