This year, I am in a happier place than last year emotionally. I am not going to even get into how sad and awful I felt last year at this point.
I try to focus on the positives and the list is almost endless.
1. Daniel.... well he is my rock, my reasoning, the one who can take a situation and flip it to be positive when all I see is negative, my support, and the one who pushes me to be better.
2. Alex....even though she is far away now, she is and will always be my very very best friend. She knows me better than almost anyone. She has walked where I have walked and listened to everything that comes out of my mouth. She is the best investigator on the internet of all things medical. She asks me the questions I forget or don't think to ask which further explains different situations. I have fun vacationing at her new digs and have tons of fun traveling with her and Rosalie. She is my non blood family. My family of choice/ not family from birth/marriage.
3. Family. Blood/birth family. Also so supportive in all I do. Always there to listen to my ramblings of nonsense and stories. I am blessed to have married into wonderful family and also have been born into wonderful family. Although our time together is much smaller than I would like, making the most of the time is what matters. I have had so much fun this past year taking a girls trip with Mom. She was so appreciative of the trip and has given so much without asking for anything.
4. Work. Ok... yes I do gripe about work sometimes but who doesn't. I am so thankful to have a job. I love helping those achieve their dreams of homeownership. Also this job provides the basic necessities of living such as a roof over my head, food on the table, and clothes on my body.
5. My health. Ok, yes, this has been a topic of discussion for how long now?? But in all seriousness, I do not have cancer, ms, a brain tumor, etc. I do take how healthy I am for granite sometimes due to the black cloud that always hangs over my head but I really am lucky to be able to get up and do almost whatever I want. I can walk, I have all 5 senses, have a healthy heart, etc. So many people have it way worse than me.
Happy Thanksgiving to all! Here is to eating tons of turkey and taking a nap!

Good reminders! Always something to be thankful for.. love you!
