Thankful...

 

Here is the short list of what I'm most thankful for right now in my life:

 

:: I'm thankful for my boys. They are my whole life. I'm very blessed to have a wonderful husband and a wonderful son that love me, take care of me, let me take care of them, and smother me with cuddles and kisses every chance they get.

:: I'm thankful that my husband has a good job. We were jobless this time last year until February, so I'm very grateful for that!

:: I'm thankful for my family. It's been so nice to be around them again.

:: I'm thankful for such amazing friends. Friends from highschool, Brighton friends, old college roommates, our time in Hawaii, Las Vegas, and now new friends from moving back to Utah. I love that I get to keep these friends close and interact with them every single day through modern technology.

:: I'm thankful every second of everyday that I don't have cancer.

:: I'm thankful that we were able to buy my boys new coats this winter and me new boots. A luxury that we could not afford to do last year.

:: I'm thankful for this amazing earth! That I get to plant in her soil and run my fingers through her grass. That she gives and gives to her inhabitants and that I can see miraculous things everyday if I look for them.

:: I'm thankful for yarn, fabric, twine, buttons, shiny silver scissors and soft felt. I'm thankful that I find so much joy in creating things with my hands and am able to do this almost every day.

:: I'm thankful for cardigans, jeans, flip flops, fake diamond earrings, and black mascara. Little things that help me be comfortable with myself everyday.

:: I'm thankful for books and libraries.

:: I'm thankful that we found this little pioneer house and that we get to live here. It has been one of the highlights of my year.

:: I'm thankful for heartache and pain. Because I know that it will make the happy times in my life so much happier and my joy so much sweeter than it could have been otherwise.

::I'm thankful for a loving Heavenly Father. That even though I slack and I pull away sometimes, he's always there welcoming me back with open arms. I know that he knows my heart and that he loves me. Always.
