- I am thankful for my beautiful daughter. She was born healthy, happy and full of life. I couldn't imagine having to live without her. She is my reason for living. I do everything I do because of her and the decisions I make I make because of her. I have recently started following this blog: http://kandjstaats.blogspot.com/ and it helps me to remember just how blessed I am. I hug Amanda tighter and kiss her a little more. Because you never know and I sincerely take that for granted.
- I am thankful for my family. My parents, siblings and Mammie (plus all my extended family). How many people out there don't have a family? How many people miss out on holidays and celebrations just because they don't have someone to celebrate it with? Many.
- I am thankful for Michael. I have a love I have never known before. I am thankful that he has been there for me when I was at my lowest point in my life. He has kept the sunshine in the sky and the tears from falling (as much as he could). Words can't describe just how much I feel for him, I know, because I have tried to tell him myself.
- I am thankful for the many people that I can call my friend. The ones I lean on when times are tough, the ones that offer advice and the ones that I can offer advice to. They have all made me who I am and some have helped me learn who I want to be.
- I am thankful for my ability to see, hear, and touch. I am glad I can hear the music as I play it, read the music that I am playing, be able to grasp the Clarinet and play the right notes, most of the time. I take for granted these even simple tasks.
- I am thankful that I live in a country where I can have my own set of beliefs, about anything, and not be made to enter into a centeralized think tank.
- I am overly thankful that there are men and women that fight and some that have died for the freedoms that we have.
I am thankful. I have to keep this in the forefront of my mind and not let the days go by without remembering that we all have troubles, ups and downs, yet we have happy times as well and that no matter what life throws at us we need to never take that for granted.
