My children and their health

the village we have moved away from were we grew up and I have not made any real friends in the 3 years we have been here. Having the vil;lage to come to has helped so much

I try to be thankful for most things.

I'm thankful for :

- dh and his integrity, honesty and the fact that he is a great guy
- for my kids who are healthy
- for our home
- for God's unending love
- for the ability to do crafts when I want
- for our little town
- for friends and the ladies from here at the village

There are so many things to be thankful for.

I am thankful for:

*My husband, who walks beside me everyday, giving me love and support
*My children, who have taught me patience, laughter and never ending love
*God
*My home
*My job
*My friends
*The Village

I agree CJ, there are alot of things to be thankful for. I am sure I have left off most of them.

I am thankful for (in no particular order):
*My dd

*my best friend
*what family I have left and the family that has accepted me and my dd in it
*the village (of course, I have come to depend on it and everyone in it)
*the health of everyone I love
*my friends
*my critters, who are my darling kids too
*that I finally found a job
*what I have [ I may not live in a mansion, in fact it is a single wide trailer, but it is mine. I hate it somedays when things fall apart but overall I am very thankful for all I have]

I did not have much growing up, in fact I lost even more when my mom died. But in the last six years my life has grown ten fold. I may never own a new car, a new home, nor be able to afford a vacation, but I am happy. My sister drives a Lexus and lives in a 200k house, but she is the epitome of the old adage that money can buy love. But most of all I am thankful for life, love, and happiness.

I am thankful for:

My family and the fact that my dad is healthy and active at 80 yrs old! He enjoys his grandaughters
A stable, normal family life in which to raise our daughters.

Our health
Our house is very small, but it is ours and we are thankful that we have it.
My job, that it is so flexible and I only work 12 hours a week, and they are thrilled that I am there.
I am thankful for lots of things. I love having friends here online to come to every day.

God and my faith
Gabe
the children
our health
an open heart and mind
the depth of life and all it's beauty and wonder and lessons
to give and receive in grace
for where I've been, where I am now, and where I will be tomorrow
for opportunities to touch others
for random acts of kindness

but especially for love
