Over on Facebook, a lot of my friends have been participating in a challenge to update their status daily with something they are thankful for. I didn’t participate, as I was afraid that a) I wouldn’t be able to come up with good (witty or thoughtful) things every day and b) it’d be so cheesy that I’m embarrass myself.
Well, here it is Thanksgiving and I’m feeling sappy. So here is a list of some of the things for which I am thankful.
- I am thankful for my family. My healthy, beautiful children, who bring me joy and love every single day. My husband who works harder than anyone I know and loves me unconditionally. I am also grateful for our hilarious and thoughtful extended family.
- I am thankful for my friends. I only wish we lived closer.
- I am thankful for my husband’s career in the Air Force. Though his job takes him away from us and is extremely taxing, it is rewarding beyond belief and, frankly, in this day and age, I appreciate the job security.
- I am thankful for the sacrifices of every military family, and for all the active duty military who serve our country.
- I am thankful for my blog. It is such a unique outlet for me and I love that I can work from home and connect with other mamas while staying home with my kids. It has provided me and my family with some really amazing opportunities.
- Finally, I am thankful for YOU. Thank you for reading, commenting and supporting me and the blog. It wouldn’t exist without readers and I wouldn’t enjoy it as much without getting to know you.

November 27, 2009I’m thankful for a lot of things, too. And, while my husband is not in the Air Force, he *does* have a job. As you mention, that’s something to be appreciative of during this time. I too am thankful for our military… both past and present. (My dad was active duty Army and is now Retired Army.)
