Gratitude

I didn't get the chance to do a "Thanksgiving entry" so I figured I would use up some "free" time and post one.

First, Thanksgiving was wonderful! We spent a few days down at my sister's house in Monroe. It was so great to spend time with the family! ..And of course it was great to stuff our faces guilt-free! ;) I'll try to post some pictures of our little trip later!

Now to the real point of this post. I feel so much gratitude in my heart tonight. I am amazingly blessed to be where I'm at in life, and with who I am. I have the greatest husband who tirelessly works to provide a wonderful life for me and our son. I have an amazing son, words could not express the love I have for him. I have a wonderful family (and that includes inlaws) who are all such an inspiration to me in so many different ways. I live in a nice neighborhood, in a pretty decent house. I feel so guilty that I sometimes desire more, or sometimes wish for certain things to be different. Taking a hard, realistic look at my life I realize that there is no need to ever wish for either of those things. I am truly blessed! It's overwhelming to think of all the amazing things that make up my life. This is truly what happiness is, and I am so lucky to know it.

I thought of starting a list of all the things I am thankful for, but it would be never ending and I don't have that much time. I am so grateful to have so much to be thankful for!

It's funny how you wish for things and want things but when you really step back and take a look you know why those other things don't even matter.
