Thankfulness

I can honestly say that I don't even know where to begin...

My Creator! Of course that's where I begin. He has blessed me with a life full of joy and happiness. Yes, it has pain and sorrow. But the good things certainly outweigh the bad!

My husband and children. I had never planned to be a mom in a "blended family" situation. I guess no one ever does. But as I was talking to Jacob the other day, I realized that if things had turned out differently with my first marriage, I would have never met my husband, never met Jacob or given birth to London. And if I would have never had that first marriage, I would have not had my sweet Sydney. I've also gained incredible friendships with my ex-husband and his wife. Anyway, no regrets there!

My parents and siblings. I won't list all of them and their children, more "blending". But each of them has had their own part in shaping who I am.

My friends. I also can't begin to list all of the wonderful friends that I have. But I can tell you, that our lives would feel very empty without the Holm family. They have definitely become more like our family! My MOPS girls, my MK girls, my girls from previous jobs... Man! I am one lucky girl!

My business and my husband's job. I get to stay home with my children. I get to "play makeup". I'm pretty sure that this is what I wanted to be when I grew up.

I think it's good to reflect daily on what we have in our lives that deserve thanks. It certainly put the rest of our lives into perspective.
