25-11-2009 - Thanksgiving Thoughts

My mood while writing this blog: Looking forward....

This year has been quite the chore, with everything that has happened it's hard to think of things that went right and that I am thankful for. I am thankful for my children and husband, as they are the reason I get out of bed everyday. Even with all the stress of a new baby and a teenager and a marriage on the edge...I can still say that I wouldn't trade them for the world.

Life has thrown me a lot of problems this year, and I have tried to deal with them as best I can. I am thankful that I have great friends to lean on in my times of need and sadness. Without you I would be a bigger mess than I am now! So, thank you for all that you've done for me!! I appreciate you all very, very much!! I keep thinking that life will get easier, but it seems as that is not the case.

I try to remember what my mom tells me about the crap your dealt in life, and I quote " HE only gives you hurdles you can handle, how you get over them is up to you" It's a good saying, but sometimes it's like that there are more hurdles than I have the energy to get over! But all in all, it makes me who I am and thats ok. I have lost family this year, and that is always tragic and sad, but I am thankful that they are in a better place now! HE will take care of them until I see them again.

I'm sure each person views their life differently than the next, but in the end does it matter if we screwed up and forgot to pay a bill or go to a school function? I think it's more important to love your families and friends with all that you have and in the end, thats what matters the most.

So to each of you I wish a very Happy Thanksgiving and may you all be surrounded by loved ones!

And to those that don't celebrate the holiday, I hope you have a fantastic rest of your week and weekend!
