The gifts are unwrapped, we have McClintock going on the television, the fire is roaring. It's a good time to be a mom.
With the hustle and bustle of the season, it's easy to lose sight of the important things in life. To get caught up in the busyness of life.
So, right now, I am thinking of my blessings.
I am thankful that I have heat in my house. Many families in the world, and in America, don't have heat. But I do. And I am thankful for that.
I am thankful that I have full cupboards. I may not have every little thing in them that my heart desires, but I can make many, many meals before I need to run to the grocery. And that is a huge blessing.
I am thankful for a handy husband. A man who is willing to fix things. Who is capable of fixing things.
I am thankful for two boys who call me mom. They are wonderful and challenging, as any good children are, but I love them dearly, and am so very glad to call them mine.
Even though my life isn't perfect, my life is pretty darn good. The economy is tough, but this too shall pass. Family is what is important. Sticking together. Loving each other. And appreciating what we DO have.
