Thankful

Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses. ~Alphonse Karr

I love this time of year because it makes me sit back and think about how much I really do have. I am thankful for my husband, who I love with all my heart and couldn't imagine my life without him. We have been blessed with families who care so much about us and have such wonderful family traditions. I am so lucky for such true friends, and for the laugh-till-we-cry moments we have shared. I am thankful for my baby at the moment, my puppy Kilo, who brings so much joy in our home. I am grateful for my health, my home, my country. The list is never ending. Above and beyond I am grateful to God who through him I am blessed with all that I have.
