It is early on Thanksgiving morning and I am busy baking, mixing and updating.  Now is the time to just sit with my cup of coffee and answer the question, "What am I thankful for...."

1.  Jesus Christ - without my daily prayers, solid belief and being filled with the Holy Spirit, my life would be empty.

2.  My Husband - we have had our ups and downs, but he loves me with his whole heart FOREVER.

3.  My boys - what can I say - they are my light, my joy, my heart - I love them

4.  My parents - I am so blessed to have the best parents in the world - they are always guiding me, loving me, cheering for me, they gave me a strong foundation for life and for that, I am eternally grateful.

5.  To wake up - yes, I am thankful for each and every day I have on this earth and will try my best to make my life worthy of what I have been given.

6.  My brothers - Granted, we fought like cats and dogs when we were children, but I can't imagine my life without either one of them.

7.  My Grandma Goldie - She taught me how to cook, garden, work in the barn, fields.  We played games, drank hot chocolate and just laughed.  She is just awesome - even at 95 yrs old.

8.  My sister in law Carol, neices Natalie, Laura & Nephew Joey - They each have their strengths, sense of humor and wonderful personalities.  What a great family I have been blessed with - Thank you.

9  Friends - I have incredible friends who have hung with me throughout all the storms that life presents and for this, I am grateful.

10.  Comfort - I am blessed with having enough to eat, a warm bed, plenty of clothes and a dog.  These things just make my life complete and I am thankful for each and every one. 

Happy Thanksgiving one and all.  Have you counted your blessings today?
