I Am Thankful For...

I thought I would take time out today to reflect on the things I am most thankful for during this Thanksgiving season. I have been so blessed in my life and it is good for the soul to take a look at all we have been given. It is so easy to focus on what we do not have - especially by the world's standards - that sometimes we forget to remember all the things we do have.

I am thankful for....
*my crew: Brant, Halle, and Kennadi. I love them all so very much and am so lucky to have them. They make me want to be a better person everyday.
*my family: my parents, my brother, my grandparents. I am thankful to still have my Grandma and Grandpa Prince and Mammaw Nancy living. I am grateful for the time I do get to spend with them.
*my salvation - I'm thankful that God found me worthy enough to die for me.
*my health
*my great friends who are always there for me. They make me laugh - sometimes til I cry.
*my home
*my church family - their love and kindness always makes me smile.
*my ability to be a full-time mom to my girls. It is truly the greatest accomplishment in life.
*my dogs - Raine, Rambo, and little Emmi. I love their loyalty and unconditional love.
*other moms-I am thankful for the advice and support other moms bring to me. It makes me feel normal at times we I think I'm not so normal.
*laughter-I am learning to not take myself so seriously and to laugh. This is a hard task for a type A personality such as myself. I try not to sweat the small stuff and learn to laugh when there is nothing else I can do.
*I am thankful that Anne Presley's killer was finally captured and hopefully will be brought to justice. I hope her family can find peace.

These are some of the things I am thankful for. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. I encourage everyone to take a little time out this weekend to remember all the things you are thankful for.

I am thankful for you girls too! Thinking of you always makes me smile. You are not going to believe this, but I had a dream that you and Mere were in a car with me and Ryan and it went off a cliff and Mere and I had to save you out of the car before the water filled up! Now that's friends! I don't know where Kari was! LOL.
PS--I am so glad they nailed that guy who killed Anne Pressly.
