I am thankful for my neighbor's gnome collection (just kidding - that always makes me smile - my neighbor has a gnome under his tree in the front yard and I constantly think of sneaking another gnome under there just to see if they would notice it).

I am thankful for my family being safe, happy, and healthy. I am a very family-oriented person when it comes to my family (DH, DS, and myself) and I feel so blessed to have such a great family.

I am thankful that we have food to eat, a warm place to sleep, and vehicles to drive.

I am thankful that DH has such a wonderful job that allows me to stay at home to be a full time mother/wife.

I am thankful that we have such terrific animals. They make us smile and show us so much love every day. Even on an awful day, having 2 dogs and a cat greet you at the door with smiles and tails wagging can always turn a frown into a smile.
