I am so thankful and proud to be an American, for my faith and for my wonderful daughter.! And even though we face yet another hurricane, I am thankful to God because I know he will keep us safe, and a bit wet!

I'm thankful I work for a good place. Oh, I get irriatated at times - but all in all it's a good place to be.I had mentioned to my boss that I was looking for a laptop computer for my sister for a while and he put me in touch wiht someone here at the college - and he is lending me a laptop until Gracie is able to have one for herself - or doesn't want to use this one.

I am thankful I was able to take 90 minutes last night and watch my DS play his first flag football game. I am thankful my parents were able to see it with us. I am thankful that I have a hubby who understands my struggles and tries to help me at every turn (even if it is only by saying he loves me).

I am thankful for quiet times. I enjoy a few moments to reflect on how much I have. How many wonderful people are in my life. I feel very blessed in all that I have.

I am thankful for old friends who think of me and call me.I haven't heard from a friend for a while but she called yesterday to tell me that a woman I know, who is a bit 'challenged' has bought a new mobile home and she wanted me to know. This gave me the opportunity to get Cindy a little housewarming gift. Even though I can't go to this little party, I can still show my support to someone who has accomplished so much despite her difficulties.As I said, Cindy is 'challenged' - but an inspiration. SHe had a boyfriend who was abusive to her. But she was strong enough to tell him that she deserved better and he could NOT hurt her. She wanted the relationship and went to counselling - and ended up ending the relationship.It shows me that we can learn from anyone.

I am thankful that my DH and I seem to be on the right track (for now). I am thankful that we are, once again, laughing together and smiling and showing love instead of yelling and fighting. I am, also, thankful that my DS, Zane, is growing and learning new things everyday.I am thankful that my DD, Leah, goes to school each and everyday without any fuss. (She's in K this year)I will be very thankful the day my DD, Rachell, can come home from school and say she didnt cry.

I'm thankful for dancing in the kitchen.Sometimes while I'm getting dinner ready a beautiful song will come on (we use the satellite tv music stations for background music during dinner) and we just stop and dance in the kitchen. Or we get up from dinner and dance.

I am thankful for this opportunity to openly post the special and the ordinary things I am thankful for. Also for the gift of reading what everyone else is thankful for. I am thankful for Mums and Heather\'s last post. I am thankful that Heather is safe and not harmed. And Mum, you make me smile with your music and dancing in the kitchen. I am thankful my daughter\'s surgery went well and that I could go help with the kids. I am thankful that my sister and family made it thru the hurricanes unharmed.Franny
