I Am Thankful For....
The hardship of my youth that led me to my husband, who I have been with since my teen years. My loving and supportive husband. For being blessed with the chance to discover and taste true love. Having been blessed with children. The true blessing of being here during my children's formative years. That my children are practicing what we have taught them. The steady and understanding job my husband has. The roof my children and I have over our heads. Being able to cook in my kitchen, even if, at times, all I might make are tortillas, donutss and fry bread. Having a large family to visit and spend the holidays with. For the time I had with my friends and family members who are no longer with us. My online friends and family. Doing for others when able and having that come back to me.
Thinking about the positives in my life has made me feel so much better and more positive temporarily, now I just have to find a way to keep that feeling. It's interesting how changing your perspective can change so many other things. May this positive change continue in my life and the lives of others.
**On a different note**
I know personally how difficult and painful the holidays can be if you have lost a loved one. At this time it may be impossible for you to think of anything positive in your life, but please try. At the very least, think of how blessed you were to have the time that you did with your loved one, remember all the good times spent together, and know that you, during this painful time, are in the hearts, minds, and prayers of others.
