Thankful...

This year, the month of November I took on the challenge to find something each and every day to be thankful for and posted it on Facebook.  I would also like to share it with all of you and make note of it on here for myself and my family.  As you will see, it was fun at times and others it was a time to truly reflect on my life and what is truly important in life itself...

Thankful...for the beautiful friends that are a part of my life today. To be able to be surrounded by friends (some I've known for many years and those just a few), who no matter love you for who you are and are there for you no matter what, in the best of times and times I don't wish on any one, I am truly blessed. You know who you are and I love you...

Thankful...to be me and living life! No matter what has happened or come and gone in my life, I don't regret anything. Things happen for a reason and I have been fortunate enough to experience some of the most amazing times and those that you don't wish on anyone, but I don't regret them for they helped make me who I am today along with the love and support of my amazing family and friends. I'm not perfect, I make mistakes, I'm not proud of some of the things I've said or done in my life but I've learned from them and I try each and every day to be the best mom, wife, daughter, granddaughter, sister, friend and woman I can be!
