thankful thoughts

often times i find myself just flying through my days taking things for granted. life is a great gift and it is important for me to stop and "smell the roses" once in a while. i want to be thankful for what i have because there are many people less fortunate.

~ i am thankful for my loving, supportive husband, we are a great team
~ i am thankful for my three beautiful children, they complete me
~ i am thankful for my faith, without God nothing is possible
~ i am thankful for my parents, they mean everything to me and the love they have for their grandchildren is incredible
~ i am thankful for my sisters, i couldn't imagine my life without them
~ i am thankful i am able to stay at home with my children, i don't miss a thing
~ i am thankful i have a warm & cozy house, there are many people freezing this winter
~ i am thankful i have such a close extended family, they mean the world to me
~ i am thankful for my friends, they brighten my day
~ i am thankful i was raised with great morals, values and respect for all people, there are many people that lack this and it is truly sad
~ i am thankful for girls night out once a month, oh boy do us girls need them ;)

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.
