I'm grateful for LAUGHTER

You can have a long and exhausting day and yet when you've been able to laugh through it all and have fun with your loved ones, pets, and friends, it just puts it all into perspective!!

If you know me you know that I love to laugh!!

It is the MUSIC to my SOUL!! :)

I had a day FULL of laughter and I find myself tired but SMILING from ear to ear!!

My favorite scripture is:

"Adam fell that Men might be; and Men are, that they might have JOY"

I TRULY BELIEVE THIS AND TRY TO ALWAYS REMEMBER AND LIVE BY IT!!

I finally got the Christmas Tree down...

I know it's January 21st, but I've been hurt since the middle of December and haven't been able to do as much as I would like to and normally do around the house...

I am grateful that my knee has held out for two days so that I could get some

Very Much NEEDED things done in our home.

I am grateful for friends that allow you call them and set an "appointment" to come over just so you can "VENT" before you explode, and then rejoice with you when you feel better at the end of a much needed vent... it didn't even take very long... :)

I HAVE GREAT FRIENDS AND I LOVE YOU ALL

AND AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR YOU ALL!!

Well tonight I'm going to keep it short and sweet...

I am grateful that the Lord granted me the strength and stamina to make it through the day!

It was a really long day and I needed his strength to physically make it through it, and that is just what he did for me!!!

Thank you Heavenly Father!! :)

Ok so about an hour ago I was thinking about my day trying to decide what I was most grateful for. I was going through my wallet looking for receipts and found a FULL CAFE' RIO card. So since I'm home alone tonight I went and got a FREE DINNER. It's my fist Cafe' Rio salad in 6 months (to the best of my memory).

So I'm VERY GRATEFUL for my FREE SALAD!!!

YUM-O :)

(Thanks Rachael Ray... I love that word/phrase)

I am so grateful for my family!! Each and every one of them. Each one means the world to me and are the center of my world. Each one is unique and has a unique and special place in my heart and in my life. Even thou we may have some bumps in road we always find our way back to each other! and I'm grateful that we have each other!!

In the end FAMILY is all you have and WHO you are and WHAT your made of!!

THANK YOU FAMILY FOR ALL THAT YOU GIVE ME

EACH AND EVERY DAY!!

GRATITUDE

I know that my posts have been "wordy" lately, but I guess that is how I've been feeling lately. Like I need to get the words out of my mind and into the written word. I was thinking today that I could use my blog to post the things that I am grateful for. There is so much that I am grateful for that I need to thank the Lord and our Savior for all that they have given me. I have tried MANY times to start a gratitude diary and have never been able to follow through. So maybe I can do a QUICK post of 365 things that I am grateful for!! I thought this was a good way for me to think of other things than missing the boys...

#1: I am grateful that my Hubby was here with me today taking care of me, He has done a great job and has really shown me how much he cares about me. :)

THANKS BABE!!
