Days 13, 14, and 15

Day 13 I am thankful for clean water! I know that I take that for granted. It's so easy to forget that there are people in this world who do not. I love being able to drink it, do the dishes, wash laundry, take showers with it. I know there are so many other things that we use it for and for that I am thankful that we have clean water.

Day 14 I'm thankful for books! I love being able to pick up a book at any given time and just sit down and read it. It may only be a couple of lines before someone interrupts me. I love love love reading! There are so many things that books can teach us all we need to do is pick on up and read. I hope that one day my kids will have the same love for books and reading I do.

Day 15 I'm thankful for movies! One of my favorite things to do is go to a movie with Brian. We haven't been able to do that much lately and there are so many good movies coming out right now too, but it will always be one of those things I really enjoy! I love that my kids can really get into movies and that they will sit still through them too!

Day 11 and 12

Day 11 I'm thankful for inspiration. I love being inspired to do something no matter how big or small it may be.
 

Day 12 I am thankful for living in a place where we get to experience the different seasons in all of the glory. I love all of the seasons and I am so exited for it to be winter, other than having to drive home in the dark at nights after school.  I look forward to all of the wonderful memories that can be had during the different times of the year but as for now I can't wait to go play in the snow with the kids!! It's going to be a fun winter!!

Day 10

Today I am thankful for a

I never thought I would ever be thankful for SCHEDULES but I am! It's so nice having something to stick to everyday. I am not one to say it has to be done at the exact time everyday because I could not function like that but I do like knowing what is going to be happening next. It has not been easy for me to get into the habit of keeping the schedule and there are things that I just can't add to it because things do vary from day to day. It's been so much easier on the kiddos too! It really has taken Brian and I a long time to get one but I am thankful that we do have one now.  I think the hardest thing was getting into a bed time routine with the girls. We had to take baby steps with them since we didn't have one when the were little. It was so nice the other night when we had a good friend come see us to just be able to put the girls to bed and not have to stay in the room with them like we used to. I know we have had the same schedule for a long time now at least when it comes to bed time but I am so so so so so so thankful for the time we took to finally get something to work for our family. I know we will have to revise it quite often as the kids get older, but I am ok with that. I really could go on and on about how much I am thankful for schedules but I won't tonight.

Day 9

I am thankful for education. I love that Trae gets to go to school everyday and I love how much she is enjoying it! I am thankful that we can get an education in so many different areas.  I ever thought I would really enjoy going back to school however I am so excited to go  everyday! It's so great!! I'm thankful that it is never to late to get an education either. Yay for education. Knowledge truly is power!

Days 7 and 8

Day 7 I am thankful for sunshine! I love being outside and soaking up the sun. I absolutely love being able to open up my blinds and letting the sun fill my house. There is nothing better than light!

Day 8 I am thank for honest people. I really strive to be honest and I am so thankful when people are honest back. So many relationship fail because someone was not honest. I will continue to strive at always being honest and I hope that those closest to me can as well!

Day 5 and 6

For day 5 I am thankful for sleep. I know I take sleeping for granted, but all it takes is one rough night with the kids to remind me that when I can get a full night sleep without interruption I feel so much better. I am so happy that my kids all sleep through the night, I am also glad that I can put the kids to bed in their own rooms and the don't fight going to be.

Day 6 I am thankful for laughter. I love being able to laugh so hard I cry. It doesn't happen as frequently as it used to but on the days it does it just make everything better! It really is amazing what laughing can do to lift your spirits. I also need to say thanks to all of those friends and family members who I can just laugh and enjoy myself.

Day 4

I'm so thankful today for the our agency. I love knowing that I have the right to choose. I have had some difficult times lately and I'm thankful that I have been able to make the right decision even though it has been hard. The fact that I have been able to choose  to be honest and tell the truth is what helps me overcome these issues. Our agency and the way we use it can make us truly show who we are and for that I am grateful!
