1. My Husband – He is my
best friend and I am grateful for him every single day. He works so hard for
our family. He loves us and supports us in so many ways. I’m lucky to have him
and love him more every day.
2. My Children – My husband
and I have two amazing daughters. We are so incredibly blessed with our girls.
They are individuals, of course, but they are both so smart and loving and cute
and funny and sweet. They crack me up and make love swell in my heart on a
daily basis.
3. Extended Family and
Friends – I love, adore and appreciate our extended family and friends. Our
close friends are like extended family to us and it’s wonderful. We’ve been
spending a lot of time with members of our extended family and it is a blessing
that I am so thankful for.
4. Writing and Books – I have
to put these together because they’re both important to me. I love writing
books and will make a career out of it. However, I love reading books, too. My
oldest daughter has been learning about the fact that women haven’t always been
allowed to have an education and she is appalled by this. I remember feeling
the same at her age. It has made me think again about how lucky we are to have
the right to an education in our country. I am thankful that I can read and
write books and not have to be afraid of either.
5. Music – Just as
writing and books, I can’t even begin to imagine my life without music. My
daughter is learning the trumpet and it makes me smile every time I hear her
practice. Of course, there are also so many talented music artists in the world
that we all love to listen to. As a matter of fact we’re listening to one of
the weekly music countdowns as I write this post.
So, these are a few things I am so grateful for.
I always enjoy reading posts about gratitude. Expressing gratitude and being thankful for one's many blessings is the key to happiness!
