According to Dictionary.com, the definition of “thankful” is: feeling or expressing gratitude; appreciative.
Well, that is how I am feeling right now. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I feel I have much to be thankful for and I am definitely appreciative for the blessings that have happened this year:)
This year I am thankful for:
* My dad’s surgery going successfully.
* Our re-entry into California. From arriving here safely to everything working out like we had hoped, I am so thankful!
* My daughter’s new school and her wonderful and amazing teacher.
* For friends that no matter what happens, they got your back.
* A roof over my head and food in my belly.
* My daughter who tells me that I am her best friend *heart melts*
* My husband who continues to be my champion and whose shoulder I lean on more times than I can count.
* For my cat who doesn’t mind that I talk to him in “baby talk” and tell him how much I “wuv him”.
* For our freedoms and living in this beautiful country.
What are you thankful for as 2015 winds down?
I talk to our dog in baby talk too! So glad to know I’m not the only one who speaks to pets that way : ) I am also particularly grateful for the freedoms we have – especially in light of what happened in Paris last week. There are people who would choose to do away with freedom and peace. I don’t take these gifts for granted anymore.
Yay for talking to our pets in baby talk! 🙂
Yes, I am grateful for our freedoms too…scary times we live in now.
Awe! And I talk to my cat the same way. Funny, he talks back! 🙂 I’m thankful for my health, friends, and opportunity!
I think our cats secretly love our baby talk 😉 #catmoms
I definitely talk to all my animals that way. #noshame
I’m thankful for so many things this year, despite the fact that emotionally, this year sucked big time. I’d definitely pick a few off of your list. I’d add books, a supportive family, finding a job I love that enables me to work from home and not wear pants, and new friends.
I am so happy for you Jana truly, that you found a job you love and that you are enjoying all the benefits it has to offer! 🙂
Awww … I love that your daughter calls you her best friend. That is so sweet! And I talk baby talk to Max in between shouting at him to stop being so naughty! 🙂 I am thankful for new opportunities, my parents, family, friends, Max, good books and good food.
Yeah, she melts my heart! 🙂 🙂 🙂
I love your list of what you are thankful for Tanya!
I’m glad your move back to California went so smoothly, Mackenzie. I loved it when my girls called me their best friend too, although these days they have “real” best friends. I’m just glad they still like me! 🙂 I’m grateful for a healthy family, a job I love, good friends and our new home.
Yup, I don’t take it for granted that she calls me her best friend; I know when those pre-teen/teenage years start coming around, I will fall pretty far down the list 😉
Such a heartwarming post, Mackenzie. All wonderful blessings for you. I especially love what you said about “a roof over my head and food in my belly”. That one is really resonating with me. And how very sweet that your girl considers you her BFF. You are a great mama, Mackenzie. 🙂
Aw thanks Laurie 🙂 She is my best friend too!!
