Thankful For

The last few nights have been rough with very little sleep. The worst was last night because of pressure and pain that goes beyond being uncomfortable. I am going to have to give in and call the doctor this morning, which I HATE to do. Rather than continuing to rant about myself, I am going to think about being thankful.

Looking back over this year, I realize that a lot has happened and that we are in a better place in life. I have a lot to be thankful for including:

1. A healthy pregnancy (being able to get pregnant again)
2. Moving from Miami to Houston
3. Becoming a SAHM so I can spend loads of time with Lexi
4. Having great friends nearby
5. A happier husband, who seems to be recovering from the death of his mother
6. Upcoming visits/help from family members
7. Spending 4 days with my husband for Thanksgiving weekend (big help with the crazy toddler)
8. Having a toddler that is excited about all things Christmas, including the music
9. Spending this holiday with good friends
10. Four days of cool weather starting tonight (first half of the week highs in the 80s, second half highs in the 50s)

Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. When I was working, the joy of having a 4 day weekend was one of the primary reasons. I also love spending the day with family and friends in a relaxed atmosphere. How often do you get together just to eat good food and hang out? As soon as it is over, you have a month of excitement while you prepare for Christmas. That is why – It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.
