Thankfulness

In honor of Thanksgiving, I thought that I would come up with a list of some of the things that I am thankful for...here goes:

My husband - he is a wonderful man who protects and cares for all of us.  I know that I don't tell him enough how much I appreciate all that he does for us.

My daughters - Madeleine is such a sweetheart.  She has a heart of gold and is always there to lend a hand to me or her sisters.  She is also very smart and is learning how to read.  Eleanor is my little monster.  She is curious and silly but she LOVES BIG.  And last, but not least, Quinn is developing such a cute quirky personality.  She has Maddie's temperament, but Ella's sense of humor.  She is my little cuddlebug.

Our families - they are always there when we need them and help to keep us grounded.

Our friends - we couldn't ask for better people to go through this journey with - thanks for always being there.

My work - of course, there are days when I wonder what I was thinking when I decided (at the age of 10) that I wanted to become a teacher...but my students really are my joy.  They are truly making such amazing progress and strides this year, I am so proud.

I am grateful that everyone is healthy and happy.  We have a beautiful home and the ability to provide an amazing life for ourselves.  This post is, of course, just a snippet of the many, many reasons that I have to be thankful this year.  One of my goals is to continue to recognize all of the blessings in my life and show appreciation for those blessings.

What are you thankful for?
