Belated, but Thankful, none the less

I realize that I am a bit late, as Thanksgiving was four days ago. I am thankful still. Besides, shouldn't we try to keep Thanksgiving in every day? I am thankful.
I am thankful for a loving and wonderful husband. We are so very different, and yet, we are so very much alike. We work together. We balance each other. Some days the balancing is difficult, but we balance in the end.
I am thankful that my husband is such a good Daddy. He is strict, but also carefree. He is serious, but fun loving and playful. He is helpful, and honest, and reliable and true. He is those things as both a partner and a Daddy.
I am thankful for A. She is sincere and gentle, loving, introspective, fun, thoughtful, kind, and a good friend and sister. She is a wonderful daughter. She is full of dreams and hopes.
I am thankful for B. She is sensitive and sweet. She too is a dreamer. She is fun and spunky and full of life. She is caring and intense and beautiful. She is a blessing.
I am thankful for C. He is exhausting and fun, sweet and loving, tough and sensitive. He makes me smile. He keeps me on my toes and thinking, as he is always thinking and some days, I need to try to stay a step ahead of him. He is bright and handsome.
I am thankful for D. He is cuddly and sweet, bright and busy, loving and silly. He is delightful. He is a cute little bundle of joy and happiness.
Actually, they all are wonderful kids. They are all bright, creative, loving, and intense. They are also laid back, fun-loving, imaginative, stubborn, silly, and sweet. They make me smile, cry, and laugh. They are sunshine and joy...with an occasional downpour from time to time. How fortunate am I???
I am thankful for my wonderful and exasperating family...they drive me nuts, but I do love them.
I am thankful for my friends...which I really think of like family. Thick and thin, tried and true, always there for you friends!
I am thankful for our health, our home, our jobs, our community, our faith, and our lives. We are so very truly blessed!


We had a very nice Thanksgiving and sincerely hope that all of you did too!
