I was tagged!!!!!!! Tagged with something that is so hard for me to explain to others, the things I am thankful for! Reading my sisters blog, I found it very inspirational. From some anticipation from my sister Terah, I decided I would give it a shot. Here goes nothing (and it only took me a couple of hours!!!):
Please don't hate me... I just need a reason to be thankful, so I though I would write 10 reasons as to why I am thankful this very moment. If you are tagged... please re post on your blog, or face book, or wherever... Being thankful is GREAT!
1. I am thankful for my beautiful little girl, Caylee, who will soon be 5. For her relentless love, through the good times, and through the harsh times, reminding me that regardless of how I may act, that she'll always love me for whom I am. She is my everything, she keeps me on my toes, and reminds me each day how blessed I really am.
2. I am thankful for having the means and ability to read and write. I know it's weird but before my senior year in high school I hated writing, reading, anything of that nature. That year, I learned that through writing I can express myself more then I could ever verbally. Writing has made me more expressive and a better communicator and I am very thankful for that.
3. I am thankful for my husband. He puts up with more then any man should ever have to, and he still loves me for who I am and all the shit I put him through. His so talented and can fix almost anything, saving us a whole lot of money all the time! I rarely give him the credit he deserves, but I truly am thankful for him and all that he does!
4. I am thankful for my twin sister, Terah. She is my best friend! Only after her and her family moved away, have I realized how important, awesome, creative and crafty she really is. She motivates me to do things I normally wouldn't do. With out her, I would have no inspiration for decorating, remodeling, working out, or anything crafty. She inspired me to create a blog and showed me the ins and out. She very giving and compassionate in everything she does, and that’s why I am so thankful for her!!!
5. I thankful for my mom deciding way back when, to become a childcare provider, so that she could stay home with us kids. She was always there for us, always going the extra mile! As I am not so lucky to be able to say home with my child, she has stepped in and provided a safe and loving childcare environment for my Caylee. I will forever be indebted to her for this. Thanks Mom!
6. I'm thankful for my mom always pushing me as a child to learn how to crochet. Although I did not allow her to teach me (as a teenager I was dumb and didn’t want to learn an old lady hobby, which its not!!!!) she has embedded a life long hobby, something that allows me to sit down, relax, and create something beautiful.
7. I'm thankful for color books and markers. Coloring has allowed me to relate more to my daughter, being one of her favorite things to do, we'll sit down and color for hours talking about random stuff, reiterating what a real gem she really is. Plus at times, coloring keep her preoccupied which gives me time to catch up on my chores/daily activities!!!
8. I'm thankful for my family and everything they do for me, and everything they've done to make me the person I am! My grandparents ... My parents taught me to have faith, to be respectful. My mom has show me true endurance in all ways, she has taught me to believe!!! My dad taught me competitiveness. My brother has showed me how to be a respected leader. My sister Dana has showed me true compassion when I thought nobody cared! My sister Terah is just awesome as stated in 4.
9. I am thankful for my in-laws and extended family and all they have done for me and my family and their continued support!
10. I'm thankful for our dumb dog Goofy. He keeps our house happy and giddy. He shows us unconditional love every time we come and go. He lets Caylee torment him like he's her brother. When I think I'm having a bad day, I sit down rub this ears, and thank god that I'm not a 4 legged creature like him!!!!
