What's not to be thankful for in the greatest country in all the world? We have hot water that's piped right into our houses, we have restaurants that we run to when we don't want to cook dinner or when we need a romantic setting, we have hospitals that do their darndest to keep us healthy and alive, and we have grocery stores with fresh food and chocolate! When the weather is not to our liking we can turn the heat up or the air on. When we want to talk to someone we can pick up our home phone, our cell phone, or jump on FaceBook. When we want to exercise we can go outside in a beautiful world or hit the local gym or hop on the treadmill in our basement in front of the TV. Life is good. I am thankful for every moment that I have, and every breath that allows me another moment...another memory. I am thankful to be able to hear my children laugh and to feel my baby's hand when she reaches for my face for the first time. I am thankful for neighbors who repeatedly rake the same pile of leaves for the kids to jump into everyday after getting off the bus. I am thankful for friends that insist on helping and family that I know will always be there. I am thankful to curl up into my husbands arms at night and feel safe. I am thankful for warm chocolate chip cookies. I am thankful that I can enjoy the little things and the big things...that it's my choice. Yeah, life is good.
