1000 Reasons to be Thankful

I hope every Mom had an awesome Mother's Day weekend. Mine was...well, it wasn't anything special. It was but I had to work, clean up cat puke and I ended up getting irritated at my local Subway for not having the one thing I had been craving all day. But I survived and its the beginning of a brand new week.

I decided to take the time to be thankful for people in my life today. I always say that people come into your life for a reason, whether to encourage you or for you to encourage them or someone that just makes a difference in your life. These are the people that have made a difference in my life so far.

61. My kids and hubby, of course. Even though my kids are not small, I love them both so much. No words can ever express how I feel about them, no matter how old they are. And hubby, too.

62. My family down in IN and beyond. I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters whom I love tremendously. My Mommy and Daddy are the best, too. I miss them so much.

63.My in laws.  Yes, I love my in laws and they have had some health issues recently.

64. My TJ Mom's group. They are awesome and always there for me. I have not ""met" them in person but maybe one day we will.

65. Cathy, Shannon, Missy and Bay...four women I have chatted with online for years now. We met online by a common thread and have been friends ever since.

66. My writer's group that I just recently joined. They have given so much good  advice that I am so thankful that they have not thrown me out of the group for all the questions I throw at them.

67. My 2 nieces, Chris and Meri whom I consider my long distance sisters...only younger.

68. My church family. Although with working pretty much every Sunday now, I still love the people that are so loving and giving. They serve so faithfully.

69. My GH group.  I just realized that I have alot of online groups now.  LOL It's funny how you join a thread and find friends in the process. No wonder I am online all the time.

70. My co-workers. I have mentioned them before but not everyone can say they love their co-workers. We are a small group and sometimes we can get irritated with each other, but they are still awesome.

These are the ones I think of today but I know there are many more from the past and more to come along.

    And I love you too, Auntie <3
