Happy Thanksgiving!

Unfortunately, unhappiness abounds for me today. In spite of that (or maybe because of it), I'm forcing myself to blog about some things that I'm thankful for.

1. My children. This goes without saying. My two children are my greatest accomplishment. However, like any other great thing that you achieve in life, they come with struggles and foibles along the away. Still, they persist as my masterpieces and are the two most precious human beings on the face of the planet (to me at least!). I am so thankful for them and all that they have taught me/will continue to teach me. Never have I loved two people more!

2. My home. I simply cannot leave this out. My husband and I purchased our first home in September and we are loving being home owners. We are still slowly but surely working on making our home our own but we love it nonetheless.

3. Health. In general....health of my children first and foremost....also the health of myself, my husband and parents....and the rest of my family too. Health is so so important and I do not take it for granted. I have been through a lot with my body. I have recently lost a tremendous amount of weight (such a good thing and I'm so thankful that I've been able to do that) but I was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia not too long ago. The diagnosis was a relief--yay! I'm not crazy and really AM in pain all the time-- but of course it is a chronic illness and that causes issues that need to be dealt with. All that being said, I do not take health/well being for granted and am very thankful for it today and every day.

This post would be useless with a picture or two so here are my two beautiful babies on this Thanksgiving Day 2010:

Miss T

Mr. N

So hard to get a good pic of the 2 of them together!
