Being Grateful

Since THANKSGIVING is tomorrow I thought I'd list all the things I am grateful for. Most days I feel like my life consists of feeding little kids, doing laundry, picking up after little kids, and chasing them around. I will admit that sometimes I become a little negative and forget how lucky I am really am. So here it goes...

Alisa is grateful for.........(drum roll please)

-These Little
KIDS!
-For a wonderful husband that is a great father and understands me the best out of anyone

-My awesome parents. I wasn't the easiest kid to deal with in my younger years and they always stuck by me.
-My brothers and sisters, yes we don't always get along, but
I have the funnest memories with them.
-My in laws. I feel really blessed to have a great Mother and and Father in law. My brothers and sisters in law are awesome too. I hear these awful in law stories and it makes me realized i really got lucky!
-Great friends. Friends are an important part of my life.
-The church. I am still a long way from where I want to be but I feel that i am trying my hardest.
-Blogging. As stupid as it sounds I really love blogging. It's my little getaway.
-Pink, no not the color but the singer. Yes, some of you are rolling your eyes but this woman can seriously keep me running. When I feel like i am going to drop dead on the street i turn her on and i can keep running and running....you get the point!
-Birthdays. I have always loved celebrating them. Especially my own. Ask me when I turn 30 and i might feel differently.
-Cafe Rio
-The Internet. Really people what we do without it? I guess my house would be a little cleaner....yeah it's not worth it.
-That Families can be together forever. This means so much to me now that I am older.

I don't normally get this cheesy on my Blog but i have been thinking lately about my life and how i am so lucky. I needed to write this down so when i am having my hard days i can come back and remember all of this.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!

Sometimes we need a little cheese! I love to hear "thankful" lists. I could probably second your list. Who would roll their eyes at Pink? She is awesome! :-)

So true- I often am negative about how crazy busy I am and don't realize all that I have to be thankful for. Nice post :)
