Thanksgiving 2018

Hard to believe another year is coming to a close.  So much to be thankful for, from the really small, insignificant to the really big.

**Thankful for our health.  Aside from few broken bones and stitches, we have never experienced a major health crisis.  We are even blessed with great immune systems and are rarely sick.
**Thankful for board/card games.
**Thankful for my juicer and that I am really enjoying veggie drinks...who would have thunk it.
**Thankful for extended family close by (my niece).
**Thankful we have not found a house yet, God has just the one for us, in His timing.
**Thankful for the continued/growing independence of my boys.
**Thankful for a small handful of gals who I am still connected to after all these years.
**Thankful for recent laughter in our home ~ seems we had lost that for a while.
**Thankful for my Crossfit gym and as the years tick by, I still have great mobility/flexibility.
**Thankful for fried eggs and nutritional yeast (one of my go tos right now)
**Thankful that my boys don't argue about picking up dog poop. (our neighbors yard is nasty)
**Thankful for a group of about 8 families that gather weekly to connect and sharpen each other.
**Thankful for texting that allows a different way to stay connected to Benjamin.
**Thankful for my new coat that I splurged and bought after 10 yrs!
**Thankful that despite 1500 plus miles, I still see TX and OH family once or twice a year.
**Thankful for a 100% flexible job.
**Thankful for Netflix and podcasts that help my work hours fly by.
**Thankful for the hard.  This year has been hard, not sure why, but so glad I can grow and become a better version of me through the hard that the Lord allows in my life.
**Thankful for my electric blanket that I curl up under each morning to read.
**Thankful for JR's hard work/clients.  This is the first year we've fully funded our accounts.
**Thankful for candles and baths.
**Thankful for local friends who know just how to encourage.
**Thankful that the boys are old enough to put up Christmas lights this year.
**Thankful for the biggest blessing, a Lord that continues to love me in spite of myself!

Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
