Day 23 and 24 of what I am thankful for...

Today I am thankful for my family. I spent the last two days disconnected from the digital world for the most part and instead spent some quality time with the loves of my life. My kids performed a new Thanksgiving Dance and song for me and Billy which what HI-larious by the way and we enjoyed our day the way it was meant to be. I feel bad for all the people who chose instead to stand in the cold in long lines just to save money on a tv they didnt really need in the first place or other material things. I had a much better time in the warmth of my home basking in the warmth of my family and in the end thats all that matters. But now, I must go check my emails. Two days without checking them is about to take up an hour of my time... oy vey!

Day 22 of what I am thankful for...

Today I am thankful for the ability to be thankful. It is easy to forget all of the things we have to be thankful for when life is serving us a bunch of crap pies and all. But I know that no matter what is taken from me I will always be thankful and happy with what I've still got

Day 21 of what I am thankful for...

Today I am thankful for anticipation.... Sometimes it is easy to forget what it feels like. Life is as boring as usual and so you go through each day already knowing what to expect from the next. Then all of a sudden something comes along out of nowhere and just knocks you right off of your feet. I have to say that each time a new surprise comes along I usually dread it. I have learned from past experience that most times, surprises are unwanted and usually end up doing more harm than good. But every once in a while an unexpected surprise comes your way and all you can do is just go with it. Now that I remember exactly what anticipation feels like, I have to say that I have no clue what to expect from tomorrow and I am quite fine with that. In fact, I can't wait to see what it brings :)

Day 20 of what I am thankful for...

Today I am thankful for relaxation. It doesn't happen all that often for me. I did clean for a good portion of the day but I eventually just sat down. And I didn't do anything. I got off my computer, I turned off the TV and I just sat there. The next thing I know Lisa is waking me up. I am so busy all of the time with school, family, work, and everything else under the sun that I forget how great it feels sometimes to just shut everything off and not do anything. I think I am really going to enjoy this break.

Day 16, 17, 18, and 19 of what I am thankful for....

Today I am thankful for vacations and late night talks. Sometimes we all need a break. So I took one. I drove down to AZ with the kids and my best friend Lisa. We got to spend time with friends, I had the chance to reconnect with family, and I even met some new interesting people. We got to do things we hadn't done in a while and for the first time I got to do that sister thing that happens when you share a room with your best friend and you get to talk all night. I hope everyone's weekend was as great as mine 

Day 15 of what I am thankful for....

Today I am thankful for road trips. They can be a therapy just on their own. Tomorrow I'm going to go get me some of that :)

Day 14 of what I am thankful for...

Today I am thankful for the here and now. I could dwell on what happened yesterday or all of the things in the past. I could be worrying about tomorrow or what the future will bring, but for now I am just going to smile and relinquish the moment of now. The kids taught me how to play Little Big Planet Karting, we watched some Christmas movie they chose and they fell asleep on top of me. After I finished peeling them off and laying them down I finished cleaning.... This is the life I tell ya :)
