Getting Thankful

As Thanksgiving gets closer I feel the need to reflect on what I am thankful for. I don't think I take these things for granted but this day makes us really notice them. I am thankful for a home to live in which is big enough for all our STUFF (and a cleaning lady who cleans it for me), kids who are healthy that I get to spend more time with than most parents and food on the table. I am thankful for another year with my Dad and mother-in-law and have a real appreciation for how miraculous that really is. I am thankful for great friends who understand me, who listen and who I wouldn't trade in a million years. I am thankful for the ability to work and successful businesses that enable me to work from home. But most of all, today, I am thankful for a husband who has been faithful to me for the last 13 years, who listens and usually judges but in a loving way, who lets me cry on his shoulder, who is a great father to our two kids, who is brutally honest with me even when I don't want to hear it, who is flexible after much nagging, who supports me in whatever crazy idea I have at the moment and who loves me unconditionally and shows me with a passion that I wish I could bottle up and sell (million dollar idea, folks!).
