As the week approaches for Thanksgiving, my thoughts have turned to Graditude. How great it is to have a whole day dedicated to giving thanks. While in the past, I have never given much thought to it. But for some reason, this year, it weighs heavily upon my thoughts. We truely live in a time of prosperity. And while I am no means wealthy in worldily standards, I am blessed with weath untold in a spiritual aspect. With that being said, I am grateful this Thanksgivng for many things. Its like it has been said, "Count your many blessings and see what God has done."
1. Six years ago today, Trent and I went on our very first date. I want to quote to you from my journal about that night. "I went on the best date ever last night with Trent... I felt so comfortable around him and was laughing the whole time I was with him." I am thankful for Trent. He completes me and I would be lost with out him.
2. I have two of the worlds cutest and sweetest boys. It amazes me what special little spirits.jpg)
they are and the divine potential that they have. I have taken a new approach to raising them (much thanks to Ashlee) I am going to enjoy them now, a clean house can wait. With that being said, I haven't made my bed in like 2 weeks. I have laundry coming out of my ears and my floor is so dirty that I'm afraid to walk barefoot on it. But I have been having fun with the boys.

Its just in different areas. I've been super crafty lately too!
4. While I am thankful for my parents, I realize they gave me one of the greatest gifts. They gave me independence and thought me to be such. I know this may sound bad, but if they were gone tomorrow, I could still get up in the morning, knowing that they have raised me not to worry and how to take care of myself.
5. Its the little things that will count to me, if I just take the time and look, listen and ponder on them. I can't let others get me down. I am blessed more than I will know as long as I remember it.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
