~Happy Thanksgiving~

Being Thanksgiving I thought it was only appropriate that I write a blog about the things that I am thankful for! Before I do that I want to share something with everybody.

Last Sunday I went to church and the pastor was talking about a man who had come home to find out that he had been robbed. Now I don't remember the story word for word so I'm just going to give you the major part I remember. This man who had just been robbed started talking about all the things he was thankful for. He talked about how he was thankful that in being robbed of possession they did not rob him of his life. That he was thankful he didn't have much so he didn't loose much. There was a lot more but it just makes you kind of step back and think....wow! This man has just been robbed of what little possessions he did have and he stands there thanking God! Takes a really good person to be able to stand up in such a bad situation and not only look at the good but thank God for it!

That being said let me tell you what I'm thankful for this fine Thursday night!

*I'm thankful that even with these tough times my family was able to have a very nice Thanksgiving dinner.
*I'm thankful that my family is still together, that we've been strong enough to work through this past year and let me tell  you it definitely hasn't been a piece of cake.
*I'm thankful that I have a job
*I'm thankful that my family is all in pretty decent health
*I'm thankful to all the people I have supporting me with all the challenges I've faced this past year
*I'm thankful that I found out about my narcolepsy before it cause me to hurt myself or someone else
*I'm thankful that even being a rounder person I'm in very good health
*I'm thankful that I still have a roof over my head and a place to call home
*I'm thankful that even though I have my bad days when I do and say some pretty unacceptable things that God has my back and he understands and forgives


Really I'm thankful for so much I could probably go on forever! But I guess blogging about it doesn't really do much good does it? I'll have to start acting like I appreciate everything I have before its to late!

Most people take their lives and everybody in them for granted but really you never know if you'll have another tomorrow. So make sure you let people you care about know how thankful you are to have them in your life!
