I recently have been reading a blog called "Susie's Space," and I was really impressed with her "Sunday Blessings" post. I am going to borrow a little from it for my list of things to be thankful for this year. There are a whole lot of things for me to be grateful for, but these are the most important.
I am thankful first and foremost to God for providing all the blessings in my life, most of which I have done absolutely nothing to deserve. However, He has been good to me...
I am thankful for these other things:
- My husband, who loves me more than anything else on earth and shows it.
- My children, who have all grown up to be productive members of society and have found loving partners with whom to share their lives and enrich mine.
- Being a grandma-those grandchildren are a joy to me!
- The rest of my family, who is, by all accounts, closer than many.
- My dad and his continued good health and independence. He is an example for all of us to follow, and I hope to grow old as gracefully as he has.
- My network of friends, who offer companionship and support, especially Rose and Helen.
- My good health and ability to do most of what I want.
- My rheumatologist, who has given me back that ability.
- Being able to be retired and still have enough money to live a comfortable life.
- Terry deciding to have his hip replaced and the surgery being a success. I feel sure it will improve the quality of his life once he is recovered.
- The chance to pursue my hobbies, such as reading, crocheting, and painting.
I know if I sat and thought some more, I could come up with some more things to be thankful for, but this is a pretty good start. The list is general, and pretty all-encompassing. Life is good. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
