Wishing you all...

... a very Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you are going to be spending it with loved ones, throwing your diet out the window for a day, and stuffing yourself until you have to unbutton your pants and take a nap.

I'm sure that you all, like me, will be overwhelmed with all that there is to be thankful for in your life. No matter what a person is going through, if they are breathing and living one more day, then they can be thankful for something.

Personally, I am thankful for my wonderful husband and beautiful children. I am thankful for my loving parents and my brother. I am thankful to have a really great extended family and a handful of friends that I can always count on.

I am thankful for the good health of myself, my family, and my friends.

I am thankful that Joe and I are able to provide a safe and loving home for our daughters.

I am thankful that we have food in our cabinets and running water and electricity.

I am thankful that we have two reliable cars.

I am thankful for our cat and dog, Jack and Harley, who are both happy and healthy and love us unconditionally.

I am thankful that I was blessed enough to be born with common sense and an open mind.

I am thankful for the success of my little design business, and the extra income it provides my family.

I am thankful that both of my girls decided they wanted to start using the toilet.

I am thankful for blogging, and the friendships it has allowed me to make.

I am thankful for coffee, chocolate, ice cream, digital cameras, good books, on-demand children's shows, sunshine, sweatpants, Clorox wipes, TLC reality shows, fast food restaurants, public parks, music, and Target.

I could go on...

Have a safe, fun, and relaxing Thanksgiving!
