Many Thanks

There are so many things to be thankful for this year.  

I remember so vividly this time last year–I had just been released from the hospital the day before and that Thanksgiving morning as I sat on the couch I felt so grateful for everything that had been given to me.

And this year?

Well, this year I feel even more blessed if you can imagine.  I get teary-eyed just thinking about what God has given me.

I have a daughter who is alive and thriving after my cancer, our infertility and then a double high-risk pregnancy and a delivery with severe complications.  To say she is the joy of my heart is an understatement.  She is such a laid-back, loving, happy child and I am blessed to be given the opportunity to be her mother.  I can’t believe I’m so lucky.

I have a husband who continues to amaze me each day.  This year he made some hard decisions and my love and respect for him has grown more than I can even begin to describe.  He always puts our family first and does whatever it takes to provide for us.  And the way he treats our daughter and the way he always wants to spend time with her makes my heart so happy.

I have an amazing family who give and give and give.  They are always, ALWAYS there for me.  My mother is the most giving person I’ve ever met and I am so thankful that she is here this Thanksgiving with us–broken bones, bruises, and all.  I give thanks that she is recovering after her accident on Monday.

I have the home of my dreams, a rewarding job, and a church where I truly belong.  I have a dog that protects us and a cat who loves to snuggle and purr.

My life is so very, very good and I feel so very, very blessed.
